Chapter 588: Chapter 178: 90.3/100, Great Divine Thought Master, Here I Come

The elder had disheveled hair.

With panda eyes and a thick smell of smoke on his body, those who didn’t know him might mistake him for a cook.

His appearance immediately livened up the area around Fu Rong.

"Senior, who are you?"

Ling Feng asked nervously.

The old man leaped over from afar, crossing several mountain peaks in the blink of an eye to stand before Ling Feng, as if he had shattered several layers of restriction arrays.

"Come with me."

This old man was none other than Feng Santong, a Talisman Master from the Talisman Sect, who had been waiting for Ling Feng these past days. A Divine Thought Master not even twenty years old could potentially be nurtured into a Talisman Master, thereby strengthening the foundation of the Star Gate.

Unexpectedly, there was no news from Ling Feng.

By chance, he learned that Ling Feng had already arrived at the Star Gate and was cultivating around Fu Rong’s area.

Although Fu Rong was a Super Divine Mind Master, he was far from fully evolving Divine Thought to manipulate Five Elements Power and Refining Essence and Qi. Even if he could become an Artifact Refiner in the future, considering Fu Rong’s and the Fu Family’s expertise in this area, it would still be difficult to guarantee that Ling Feng would become an Artifact Refiner.

So Feng Santong came directly to claim him.

He had no inhibitions whatsoever.

"Elder Feng, what are you doing? Ling Feng is now with me, Fu Rong. Even if you want to take him, you should ask me first." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Fu Rong quickly appeared.

Feng Santong had penetrated through the arrays from the Talisman Sect, which would surely alarm him, and the person being taken was Ling Feng. Although the purpose of Fu Shanhai was unknown, it was obvious from any perspective that Fu Shanhai valued Ling Feng highly.

"Young man, I am Feng Santong, a Talisman Master of the Talisman Sect. Half of the Divine Light Talismans on your Great Xia Kingdom’s South Heaven Gate Array were inscribed by me. Talisman Masters sent by the Fu Family once assisted me for ten days. I dismissed them for not meeting my satisfaction; now they are esteemed guests of your Great Xia. Do you understand what I’m implying?"

Feng Santong grabbed Ling Feng’s wrist and said.

"Please, Elder Feng, enlighten me."

Ling Feng’s heart was overturning rivers and seas; the person before him was actually a Star Gate Talisman Master, an existence of the highest order!

A professional destiny after Divine Thought transformation.

Even grasping a single hair of this person could allow one to call the wind and summon the rain within the Star Gate, obtaining various resource subsidies. But having the Coasting Along Fate and having been nurtured with Master Fu’s coasting chicken soup during this period, Ling Feng had grown more mature and stable, not dazzled by Feng Santong’s identity.

Moreover, this was Fu Rong’s territory.

Whether he could follow Feng Santong had to be asked politely. It wouldn’t be proper to leave suddenly after being well catered to for ten days.

"You have excellent potential. Come to the Talisman Sect to cultivate, and I’ll make you a Talisman Master Disciple to practice with me. How about it?"

Feng Santong also knew that just taking Ling Feng without promising any benefits would make it hard for Ling Feng to decide. Even if he followed now, without a goal, he might be fickle in the future.

"Ah?"

"This..."

Ling Feng looked surprised.

"Ling Feng, my brother wants to take you as a direct disciple. Have you forgotten?"

Master Fu heard the news and rushed over promptly with two of his followers.

"Come to the Talisman Sect, and I, Feng Santong, will take you as a named disciple, helping you become a Talisman Master in the future. Do you wish for this?"

Feng Santong stated calmly.

Fu Rong was merely a Super Divine Mind Master, whose Divine Thought had not yet triggered the Five Elements Origin Power. Becoming an Artifact Refiner was not that easy, but since he wanted to take Ling Feng as a direct disciple, Feng Santong chose to make Ling Feng a named disciple, only then could he take Ling Feng away.

So he asked publicly.

He understood that any sensible person would know what to do.

Hearing this, Master Fu’s expression changed abruptly. He looked around urgently, hoping Fu Shanhai would arrive promptly, or else Ling Feng would be taken by Feng Santong.

Becoming a named disciple of a Talisman Master was an immense temptation. As long as Ling Feng wasn’t a fool, he would know how to choose.

"Forgive the disciple’s rudeness; Mr. Fu treats me like family, and I cannot leave him."

However, Ling Feng, with an apologetic expression, bowed to Feng Santong.

With these words, not only were Master Fu and Fu Rong stunned, but even Feng Santong was surprised. And even Fu Shanhai, who was ready to intervene at any moment, wore a confused look.

"You’d rather stay here than become a Talisman Master Disciple?"

Feng Santong asked incredulously.

"Certainly, I would like to, but since I initially followed Mr. Fu, how could I abandon him halfway? If I acted this way today, I might disregard the elder in the future. Although I am inexperienced, I know that whatever I do, I should see it through to the end."

Ling Feng respectfully said.

"A true example of seeing things through to the end."

Feng Santong was taken aback by Ling Feng’s mindset, finding it commendable. Internally, he was vexed; had he known earlier, he would have kept track of Ling Feng’s movements and taken him upon entering the Star Gate.

Forcibly taking Ling Feng now would only make things difficult for him.

With that, Feng Santong glanced at Fu Shanhai hidden in the void and said, "He’s a promising talent; congratulations to your Fu Family. Cultivate him well!"

And with that, Feng Santong leaped back into the Talisman Sect.

Ling Feng found a Talisman in his palm, left by Feng Santong unknowingly. It truly proved that a person loyal and consistent is admired everywhere.

"Celestial Thunder Talisman, it seems Elder Feng truly favors you."
