In a secret chamber of Danxia Peak, Jiang Feng had remained seated in place for a full three days.
Throughout the entire process, apart from taking Elixirs and circulating his energy, he barely moved at all.
The next moment, a faint formless seal appeared behind Jiang Feng.
His eyes snapped open, and a flash of violet divine light shot through them.
A purple aura also began to envelop his entire body.
"Heavens! This is absurd!"
"I've only reached the Second Layer...!? Are you kidding me...?"
Jiang Feng wore a bitter expression, feeling utterly dejected.
During those three days, Jiang Feng had completely exhausted all his Elixirs.
One top-Tier Primary Spirit Elixir could only last for the time it took an incense stick to burn.
A Supreme-Tier Sea Origin Elixir would last an hour.
Only the One Danxia rank Sea Origin Elixir was impressively effective, managing to sustain him for nearly half a day.
Such a terrifying rate of consumption meant that on the very first day of training, Jiang Feng had already depleted all his Elixirs.
By then, Formless Immortal-Suppressing Seal had only been cultivated to the late stage of the First Layer.
This result left Jiang Feng utterly stunned, and he could hardly believe it.
What kind of outrageous Cultivation Technique was this—consuming this much just for the First Layer?
Then what about the Second, Third, or even higher layers?
Unwilling to stop halfway, Jiang Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He decided to go big!
Jiang Feng immediately dispersed the Mountain-Bearing Art that he had cultivated to the Sixth Layer.
At the moment of dispersal, he poured all his energy into activating Formless Immortal-Suppressing Seal.
He wanted to test whether it could absorb the essence of the Mountain-Bearing Art.
And the answer was undeniably yes.
After all, Mountain-Bearing Art originated from Formless Immortal-Suppressing Seal, so the two shared the same roots.
As Formless Immortal-Suppressing Seal began to operate, the essence of Mountain-Bearing Art was absorbed seamlessly and entirely-
not a single trace was wasted.
The absorption worked even better than Jiang Feng had expected!
However...
Jiang Feng had assumed that after absorbing Mountain-Bearing Art, Formless Immortal-Suppressing Seal would experience a massive breakthrough-
at the very least reaching the Third or even the Fourth Layer.
After all, he had spent months cultivating Mountain-Bearing Art; that shouldn't be an unreasonable expectation, right?
But reality hit him hard.
After fully absorbing and refining the essence of Mountain-Bearing Art, Formless Immortal-Suppressing Seal did indeed break through—
but only from the late First Layer to the mid-stage of the Second Layer.
And then... nothing more.
Damn it!
This is a complete rip-off...!
Jiang Feng couldn't help but curse out loud.
No wonder Elder Yun always looked so impoverished!
With the monstrous appetite of Formless Immortal-Suppressing Seal, who could afford to sustain it?
Jiang Feng helplessly shook his head and cleared his distracting thoughts.
Since he had already started cultivating it, he wasn't planning to give up halfway.
So what if the Cultivation Technique had a huge appetite?
Then he'd just have to find a way to feed it!
Crack crack crack...!
Jiang Feng stood up.
At that moment, his entire skeleton erupted in a series of loud pops.
Jiang Feng was stunned—this was too exaggerated.
He'd only been sitting and cultivating for three days, how did it lead to such a dramatic transformation?
But very soon, he realized that his physical power had skyrocketed.
He felt like his blood was surging and his bones were as hard as steel.
Looking at the sturdy walls surrounding the secret chamber, he even had the urge to punch right through them.
It was a rather strange sensation...
After all, back when cultivating Mountain-Bearing Art, he had never experienced this kind of feeling.
Jiang Feng pushed open the secret chamber door.
Xiao Ziyue and Elder Ding had already been waiting for quite some time.
"You brat finally came out. If you stayed any longer, I, an Old Man, would've barged in to check if you were still alive."
Elder Ding stroked his beard and joked.
With his Profound Gang Realm cultivation, one movement of his spiritual sense was enough to tell if someone was alive inside.
There was no need to check in person.
Profound Gang Realm cultivators could easily do that.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Ding."
Jiang Feng replied politely.
"Jiang Feng, did your cultivation break through...?"
Xiao Ziyue looked at Jiang Feng with puzzlement in her eyes.
There didn't seem to be any noticeable change in his aura, yet she clearly sensed that he seemed reborn—completely transformed.
"Huh...?"
Only now did Elder Ding focus on Jiang Feng.
That feeling... why did it seem so familiar...?
It felt like that old scoundrel Old Man Yun... Wait a minute...
Damn it!
Could it be...?!
"Kid Jiang, don't tell me... you actually cultivated that formless... cough, the Cultivation Technique Old Man Yun passed to you...?"
Elder Ding caught himself mid-sentence and quickly changed his wording.
"Elder Ding's vision is sharp. I did indeed cultivate that Cultivation Technique."
Jiang Feng answered honestly.
"Damn it... that Old Man Yun is just harming others now!"
"He should've suffered alone with that cursed Cultivation Technique. Why drag down a prodigy like you, who's gifted in Alchemy? Despicable!!"
"Kid Jiang, I strongly advise you to give it up as soon as possible."
Elder Ding looked genuinely furious.
Standing off to the side, Xiao Ziyue had no idea what they were talking about.
What were her master and Junior Brother Jiang discussing?
There were only the three of them present, yet her master still spoke so cryptically.
It was clear this involved some kind of secret.
Thinking of this, even though Xiao Ziyue was deeply curious, she wisely kept her mouth shut.
At a time like this, staying quiet was the best choice.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Ding. I understand."
Jiang Feng responded casually.
"Understand my foot...! Whatever, I'll go find Old Man Yun for a good talk next time!"
"Come, come, let's go do some Alchemy. We'll talk about the rest later."
Elder Ding grabbed Jiang Feng and dragged him toward the Alchemy Chamber.
After observing Kid Jiang's Alchemy last time, Old Ding had gained some new insights and ideas about the Alchemy path.
This time, he was determined to watch carefully.
If he could glean even a tiny breakthrough from it, then Kid Jiang would truly be his lucky star.
The two of them walked excitedly into the Alchemy Chamber.
Meanwhile, the stunning purple-robed disciple Xiao Ziyue was heartlessly driven out by her master.
"Annoying girl, what are you doing coming in here?"
"Kid Jiang's Alchemy methods aren't suitable for you to observe. Watching too much may lead you astray!"
"Just focus on refining that Rank 4 Purification Elixir. I'll check it when you're done!"
Elder Ding rattled off a few words to Xiao Ziyue, then casually assigned her a task and immediately slammed the door shut.
Xiao Ziyue: "That's just unfair."
Why did she feel... abandoned right now...?
Was this what it felt like to be replaced?
Just a few days ago, she was still "dear disciple," and now she was just an "annoying girl"...?
Ugh... it really hurt!
Fine! If it's Alchemy you want—this lady will refine it!
The next moment, Xiao Ziyue left in a huff.
......
And just like that, half a month passed.
During this time, Elder Ding came out a few times looking visibly strange, only to dash back in excitedly each time.
Jiang Feng, however, was nowhere to be seen.
Meanwhile, inside the Scripture Pavilion of Demon Sky Sword Sect, a white-haired elder's face was as dark as water.
It was Elder Yun!
Terrifying strands of aura surged from his body!
"Damn that old geezer! We agreed to take turns teaching the disciple for half a month…"
"It's already been nearly twenty days, and where's my precious disciple? Not even a shadow!"
"I knew that old bastard wouldn't play fair! Hmph...!"
With a cold snort, Elder Yun's figure flickered.
In an instant, he vanished from the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.
His movement was so swift, no one could see it clearly...
