Beyond the canopy of towering trees, near a giant and deep crater, a boy was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. The World Qi around the youth pulsed and revolved around him.
The youth's face was tranquil and even, as if the hustle and bustle of the world could could shake him.
Suddenly, a burst of Qi exploded from the youth's forehead, disrupting the World Qi orbiting him. The burst was followed by a great aura emerging from the youth's body as he slowly opened his eyes.
He youth smirked and muttered while he slowly stood up, "It only took 11 days to completely open the 12th Meridian and Condense the 12th pulse."
This youth was none other than Wang Feng. In the last 11 days he had been practicing and now he had finally reached the True Peak of Body Forging Realm. He looked in front of him, into the rising sun with his arms folded behind him.
"With this done, it's time to take the next step.... But first.", Wang Feng muttered to himself as the Yang Energy of the Sun reflected on him. He then turned around and walked towards the canopy of trees and entered them.
After a few minutes of walk, Wang Feng reached the end of the collection of towering trees, returning to the main area of the sect. He then slowly walked towards the Treasurer Hall as he watched several desciples walk around in groups or practicing in the martial arts ground.
He arrived at the Treasurer Hall after a few more minutes. He slowly entered the Hall and was slightly surprised to see in front of him. In the Hall, only three people were present currently. One was coming outside, one was going inside and one was sitting on a chair.
The one sitting was obviously Meng Wu Ya. The other two were also people he knew. The one going inside was Xia Ning Chang and the one coming outside was none other than Yang Kai.
Yang Kai too saw him and was also surprised before a smile broke out on his face and he spoke, "hey! Brother Wang. How have you been?"
Wang Feng smiled as well and answered, "hello, Brother Yang. I'm good. Didn't think of meeting you here.", Wang Feng spoke as the two shook hands. Their voices pulled the attention of the other two occupants of the Hall.
Yang Kai just shook his head and spoke, "I just came here to see a few things. What about you, how about getting a drink?", Wang Feng ideally noticed that Yang Kai seems to be wearing Lower Base Desciple clothes, signifying his rank. Wang Feng nodded before looking behind Yang Kai and seeing Meng Wu Ya and Xia Ning Chang looking at him.
Wang Feng looked at Yang Kai apologetically, "Brother Yang, how about we do it another time. Treasurer Meng seems to have a task for me.", Yang Kai looked slightly surprised before glancing at Meng Wu Ya, who nodded.
Wang Feng saw how his gaze drifted to Xia Ning Chang for a second, which Wang Feng didn't like one bit. Yang Kai then looked back at Wang Feng and nodded, "alright. Oh, I'm still living in my cabin."
Wang Feng nodded before he shook hands with him again and walked a step towards the table. "Hey, Old Man.... Hello, Senior Sister, how are you? You haven't visited me for a few days.", Wang Feng spoke while still walking towards the table, making sure Yang Kai heard him.
Xia Ning Chang who heard his teasing and somewhat saddened voice, blushed lightly and looked to the side, still feeling shy from their last encounter, though she returned the greeting in a tiny voice.
Yang Kai and even Meng Wu Ya looked at the two of them with surprised eyes, feeling an .... unusual atmosphere between them. Yang Kai then shook his head and chuckled wearily before he walked out, clearly understanding the meaning of the atmosphere and even Wang Feng's slightly loud spoken words.
Meng Wu Ya waited till Yang Kai dismissed himself from the Hall, before looking at Wang Feng with narrowed eyes, his gaze shifting between the two, "what is it brat?".
Meng Wu Ya ignored his instinct of a protective father to properly interro... *Cough* *Cough* question Wang Feng and Thre.... *Cough* *Cough* nicely ask him to not disturb his desciple.
Why? Because he felt Wang Feng's aura at 12th Stage Meridian Opening and knew that he must be here for something important.
Wang Feng smiled lightly at Xia Ning Chang, who was trying not to look his way but would still steal glances. Wang Feng answered Meng Wu Ya, deciding that it wasn't the best of times to talk to Xia Ning Chang, "I came here to find Senior Sister, fortunately she was already here."
Meng Wu Ya narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrow. While Xia Ning Chang also looked at him, this time with seriousness and slight worry, "is everything alright, Junior Brother?"
Wang Feng looked at her by turning his neck to the side, "what? Can't I see my Senior Sister unless there's a problem?". Xia Ning Chang blinked twice before she blushed atomic, 'my...my.. Senior Sister.', Xia Ning Chang repeated his word and felt like banging her head on the table.
Wang Feng chuckled, but stopped after getting a death stare from Meng Wu Ya. Wang Feng gulped and said, "well, uh... The thing is, I didn't know how to contact Senior Sister nor do I know her residence, so I came here."
He turned to Xia Ning Chang and said, "I need Senior Sister's help in refining a Peak Earth Grade pill." Meng Wu Ya's expressions returned to normal before he looked at him in surprise, while Xia Ning Chang broke out of her stupor and looked at him.
Meng Wu Ya asked, "why do you need such a high grade pill?", Wang Feng looked at him as if looking at an idiot. His eyes mocking Meng Wu Ya as if saying, 'are you senile old man? Why would I need a pill. Think, Wu Ya, Think.'.
Xia Ning Chang between the two and saw Meng Wu Ya's annoyed face with a twitching eyebrow. She giggled lightly before saying, "Of course I can help. Junior brother just needs to tell me the pill you want... Though it would depend if we have the herbs.", her voice turned thoughtful and slightly low at the end, completely different from her previous shy one.
Wang Feng shook his head while placing his hand in the big bag he had on his shoulder, "you don't have to worry about the herbs, I have them all here. Besides, it's me who wants the pill, so I should be the one who brings the herbs."
He spoke as he took out a few boxes from the bag. Before coming here, he had placed the required herbs from his inventory into this bag. Oh, how he longed to have a space ring so he doesn't have to carry a bag when in these situations.
Xia Ning Chang chuckled embarrassingly at his statement and looked at the herbs he had placed on the table.
Since it was just an Earth Grade Pill, it only needed 7-9 herbs. She was slightly surprised by the herbs he had placed on the desk. There were 5 Peak Common Grade herbs of each of the Five Elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, Wind).
While the other 2 herbs were High Grade Earth Rank Herbs, the 150 years old Sun Blood Ginseng and the Mystic Tranquility Flower.
Wang Feng then spoke, "the pill I want is the Yin-Yang Balancing Pill.", Xia Ning Chang thought for a second before she nodded, "I can refine it. Though, to make it of the level you need, there needs to be 2 more herbs in this batch, luckily I have them." After that Xia Ning Chang told him to wait here for a few minutes.
Wang Feng tenderly looked as she walked away before looking at Meng Wu Ya. Meng Wu Ya was giving him a suspecious look and asked him, "If I remember correctly, the Yin-Yang Balancing Pill, is a pill that releases a balanced stream of Yin and Yang Qi into the user's body, while also working as a stabilizing force for other types of Qi's, right?"
Wang Feng nodded with a mysterious smile, "From Chaos came the Yin-Yang and from Yin-Yang came the Five Elements. And so is true for the other extreme.", Meng Wu Ya's eyes shot open as he took in Wang Feng's words. He remained silent for a minute before he spoke in a light voice, ".... Is that so...."
Wang Feng looked at him with a raised eyebrow, '....did he comprehend something from that?.....', Wang Feng shook his head and thought back to his plan. Now that he has completed the 12th Stage Body Forging Realm, he could breakthrough to the next stage by opening his Dantian.
But for that, he needs a cultivation technique. A technique, he already possessed.

[Primordial Origin Art]
[Grade: ??? Grade]
[Description: A technique that follows the principle of Myriad Elements into Five Elements, Five Elements into Yin-Yang and Yin-Yang into Chaos, returning Qi to its Original Form that started the Universe as it is.]
———————————————————
This was the technique that he had made for himself during the enlightenment. This technique had a few stages.
In the First Stage, the cultivator needs to cultivate Five Element Qi in his Dantian. In the Second Stage, the cultivator needs to introduce Yin and Yang Qi into his Dantian. In the Third Stage, the cultivator needs to balance the 7 types of Qis.
There were 3 more stages after that. The technique consisted of a total of 6 Stages, with the end result being the Original Qi, in other words Chaos Qi.
For now, Wang Feng just needs to open his Dantain, which would form a Sea of Qi in his body, before the effect of this technique starts taking place.
He reviewed his plans till he saw Meng Wu Ya break out of his trance. He looked at Meng Wu Ya and asked curiously, "So...?". Meng Wu Ya looked at him for a few seconds before sighing and speaking, "*Haah* ... Thanks brat. I just found a solution to one of my problems."
Wang Feng looked at him suspiciously before shrugging, "No problem." The two then started talking while waiting for Xia Ning Chang to arrive. During the talk, Wang Feng suddenly remembered something, "Hey, Old Man. What's the highest level of Cultivation does our sect's True Desciples have!"
Meng Wu Ya didn't expect such a random question and asked, "why do you want to know about that?... You should focus on your own cultivation brat.", Wang Feng shrugged again, "Just Curious."
Meng Wu Ya shook his head and replied, "whatever.... If this old master remembers correctly, then the True Desciple with the highest cultivation should be that girl Su Yan, having reached 1st Stage True Element Realm."
Wang Feng inwardly thought, 'so there's still time? I think she was at the 3rd Stage when she first appeared in the novel...'. But outwardly, Wang Feng said, "hmm, isn't Senior Sister Xia at the Peak of Separation and Reunion Realm? Doesn't that mean she is also counted as one of the strongest?"
Meng Wu Ya laughed at that. "My precious Desciple is far far above any desciple in the sect.... Especially after she started training your system. She already has strength equivalent to that of a 3rd Stage True Element Realm Cultivator."
Wang Feng frowned slightly, '3rd Stage?... Did she..!!?'. Meng Wu Ya observed his features and broke out in a sly grin, "Yes, she successfully reached the Divine Stage Qi Sea Realm."
