Chapter 174: Yun Ling: "Your Majesty, are you going to marry your teacher?"
"This reward is quite good. With these thousand pieces of Dou Ling Pill, it will greatly benefit in nurturing power and influence."
After reading the description of the system reward Dou Ling Pill, Chen Feng felt very satisfied.
Although similar pills could be refined by Yao Chen, a thousand sixth-grade pills, apart from the considerable time and immense effort required for refinement, even the medicinal ingredients needed were astronomical.
Perhaps even with the combined effort of the entire Imperial Empire, it would be impossible to gather the medicinal ingredients needed to refine a thousand Dou Ling Pills. Moreover, ordinary Dou Ling Pills, compared to the effectiveness of using it three times as per the system's reward, could only be used once in a Dou Wang's lifetime.
Next, Chen Feng's gaze shifted to the system's third reward, the Primary Experience Pill.
He had obtained this thing once before in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. It could enhance the user's cultivation for a year.
Unlike the ordinary strength-enhancing pills on the Dou Qi Continent, those pills not only developed a significant resistance after consumption but could also cause instability in the Dou Qi within the body, affecting its foundation.
The Experience Pill, however, had no side effects, akin to the user diligently cultivating for a year.
"System, use the Primary Experience Pill!"
At that moment, Chen Feng hardly hesitated, directly opting to use the Primary Experience Pill to enhance his strength.
As soon as Chen Feng's voice fell, a massive surge of energy erupted within him. Immediately, his cultivation skyrocketed.
From just having broken through to a three-star Dou Wang, he directly advanced to a four-star Dou Wang, then rapidly broke through to a five-star Dou Wang!
Six-star Dou Wang!
Seven-star Dou Wang!
Eight-star Dou Wang!
While his cultivation continuously skyrocketed, a familiar dragon's roar resonated in Chen Feng's mind.
Similar to his previous breakthrough, each time he advanced a small realm, a golden dragon would shoot out from his body into the air before swiftly disappearing.
After five consecutive golden dragons emerged from his body, Chen Feng's cultivation finally stabilized at the peak of the eight-star Dou Wang.
"Wow, peak of the eight-star Dou Wang… If the top experts of the continent knew of this speed of improvement, they'd all want to 'study' me!"
Feeling the change in his cultivation, Chen Feng felt ecstatic.
Boosting cultivation with the Experience Pill wouldn't cause any supernatural phenomena. Those flying golden dragons were only visible to Chen Feng himself. Therefore, within the palace, no one else was aware of the strange scene in the secret chamber just now.
Chen Feng calmly delved his consciousness into the system space to examine the final reward of this round.
Space Locking Symbol: After use, it can lock any space within a hundred-mile radius. The specific locked area can be adjusted freely. Up to three spaces can be locked simultaneously. The user can lift the lock at any time...(This item is reusable with a cooldown time of one day).
"This effect is much better than I speculated!"
After reading the detailed introduction of the Space Locking Symbol, Chen Feng felt very satisfied.
This kind of treasure, the Space Locking Symbol, was perfect for trapping others or avoiding certain crises.
In Chen Feng's impression, once he reached the Central Plains, some deeply entrenched forces like the Hall of Souls, Pill Tower, the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, and the Illusory Ancient Dragon Clan would often crush space jade tubes, pulling people over from tens or hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Now, with this Space Locking Symbol, Chen Feng didn't have to worry about getting involved in such issues of helping the weak.
"It's time to go to Yun Er's place!"
After exploring the rewards obtained this time, Chen Feng directly walked out of the secret chamber, then quickly summoned Jia Xing Tian and dozens of Imperial Guards, rushing towards the Cloud Mist Sect.
...
Not long after, Chen Feng and his entourage arrived at the entrance of Cloud Mist Sect.
When the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect saw him, they respectfully stood in place, paying their respects.
Under the gaze of many respectful eyes, Chen Feng directly led his people into the main hall of Cloud Mist Sect.
"Salutations, Your Majesty!"
"Salutations, Elder Jia!"
Not long after Chen Feng led his people into the main hall, the news reached Elder Yun Ling and several other elders, who quickly arrived at the hall and bowed to Chen Feng and Jia Xing Tian.
Normally, major sects like Cloud Mist Sect were basically independent in the Gama Empire and were not subject to the emperor's authority. However, Chen Feng's current identity was not just the Emperor of Gama but also the Junior Sect Master of Cloud Mist Sect. Therefore, even these Cloud Mist Sect elders were extremely respectful towards him.
Chen Feng casually waved his hand and said, "Elders, no need for excessive formalities. Please rise!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Yun Ling straightened his body and approached Chen Feng, respectfully inquiring, "Your Majesty, is there something you wish to command upon your return to the sect?"
Hearing Yun Ling's words, Chen Feng bluntly stated, "Elder Yun Ling, I've returned this time to propose marriage!"
"Marriage?"
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Yun Ling couldn't help but pause, but soon, a strange smile appeared on his old face.
Chen Feng had married his childhood sweetheart, Nalan Yanran, just a few months ago, and at the same time, he had married Princess Yao Ye and the charming consort of the Mittel family. These matters had already spread throughout Cloud Mist Sect. Chen Feng's image as a romantic and gallant figure had become deeply ingrained.
At this moment, upon hearing Chen Feng talk about marriage, Yun Ling subconsciously thought that Chen Feng had set his sights on another beautiful young female disciple within the sect, intending to add her to his harem.
"Your Majesty, within Cloud Mist Sect, no matter whom you set your eyes on, I, Yun Ling, will immediately arrange for her to enter Your Majesty's palace!"
Yun Ling pounded his chest, pledging confidently. In his view, none of the female disciples in Cloud Mist Sect would refuse Chen Feng.
"Is that so?"
Hearing Yun Ling's reply, a hint of amusement flickered on Chen Feng's face.
"Of course, I believe the other elders feel the same way!" Yun Ling looked at the other elders, smiling as he spoke.
"Yes, yes!"
"We do! If Your Majesty desires, there's no need for complicated marriage proposals. Just take her away directly!"
"Indeed, if His Majesty favors someone, there's no need for formalities."
As Yun Ling finished speaking, the other elders in the hall nodded in agreement.
Seeing the attitude of these elders, Chen Feng spoke earnestly, "In that case, I'll be straightforward. The person I wish to marry is the Sect Master!"
"What?"
"Your Majesty wishes to marry the Sect Master?"
"But the Sect Master is Your Majesty's teacher!"
Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, the expressions of several Cloud Mist Sect elders in the hall instantly froze, resembling statues.
