Chapter 323 - 159: Sunk Cost, The Perseverance of Miao Family_1
From the hand of a Death Warrior of Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect,
He took over a ring that the Wan Dan Sect’s Main Sect had researched
specifically for storing Spiritual Fire and Beast Fire.
Luo Changfeng then waved his hand,
dismissing the Death Warrior beside him.
As the Death Warrior left,
he waved his hand again and extracted the five portions of Beast Fire Black Crow Flame from the storage ring.
The Black Crow Flame was pitch-black in color.
As soon as it was freed from the constraints of the ring,
it tried to flee desperately towards the distance.
However, it was a pity,
before the five lumps of pitch-black flames could escape, a terrifying Qi-Blood Force had already transformed into a cage, trapping the flames tightly.
[Sizzle sizzle sizzle...]
Upon seeing the five clumps of Black Crow Flame, the Spiritual Fire Void immediately became excited.
The flames danced merrily,
and the temperature of the flames surged dramatically at that moment.
However, the master hadn’t spoken yet,
so Void did not rush to devour the Black Crow Flames.
"These are all for you, go ahead..."
Luo Changfeng looked at the humanoid expression of intense desire from the Spiritual Fire Void,
and couldn’t help but smile faintly.
Then, he spoke to Void in a low voice.
The Void Flame danced briskly twice, then quickly approached the five clumps of Black Crow Flame.
...
Under the suppression of Qi-Blood Force,
the Black Crow Flame, even if wishing to resist or escape,
seemed to no longer have the qualifications to do so.
[Sizzle sizzle sizzle...]
After devouring all five clumps of the pitch-black Black Crow Flames,
Spiritual Fire Void quietly returned in front of Luo Changfeng.
Even, he faintly heard,
did Spiritual Fire Void... seem to burp contentedly?
It was preposterous,
but he probably hadn’t heard wrong.
"Finished eating?"
"Feeling happy now?"
Luo Changfeng reached out his hand and lightly stroked the Void, which now appeared even blacker and more profound.
And Void was happily leaping about.
Because Spiritual Fire Void had already established a unique connection with Luo Changfeng,
even when he reached his hand into the flames of Void,
he would only feel a slight warmth,
and not be burnt by its flames.
...
After taking Spiritual Fire Void back into his body,
Luo Changfeng shifted his gaze to the mysterious rune-etched, greyish-black Demon Beast Egg on the stone table.
The Demon Beast Egg seemed to detect Luo Changfeng’s gaze,
and wobbled slightly in response.
But that was about it; it seemed to have exhausted all its strength with just that minor wobble.
"Interesting..."
After murmuring softly,
Luo Changfeng raised his head slightly,
and turned his gaze towards Yuan, who was hidden in a corner of the courtyard.
Before Luo Changfeng could say anything,
Yuan, who was not particularly robust but exuded bursts of icy cold intent,
had already appeared beside Luo Changfeng,
silently waiting for orders from his master.
"That boy Luo Ze..."
"How is he doing inside?"
After a moment of silence, Luo Changfeng asked softly.
Ordinarily, he shouldn’t need to ask such a question.
That courtyard outside Qingshi City, specially used to train Shadow Guards,
for countless people, that place is an endless hell.
Within hell, one would endure endless torment.
To survive in that place, you must clench your teeth and hold firm to your convictions,
and then, stepping over the corpses of countless others,
you can stand out.
Previously, the order Luo Changfeng issued was,
as long as you don’t die, that’s enough.
Now, however...
He eventually felt a bit soft-hearted.
"It’s worse than death," Yuan replied softly.
But, he didn’t seem sure if his answer was accurate.
To him,
that seemed to be the state of Luo Ze,
living every day in endless torment, a life worse than death.
"Has that little guy ever thought of giving up?"
After a moment of silence,
Luo Changfeng asked again.
This time, Yuan was silent for a while,
then finally shook his head,
and replied softly, "His talent is very poor, especially poor, the worst I’ve seen in that courtyard, but his will is also the most resolute I’ve ever seen..."
...
Yes, that was how Yuan responded.
Yuan’s assessment was highly regarded,
After hearing these words,
Luo Changfeng was somewhat surprised as he looked at the youth known as Yuan beside him.
He wasn’t surprised that Yuan would give such an assessment;
he was aware of Luo Ze’s resoluteness, n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
he just found it surprising that Yuan would speak so much all at once.
Under normal circumstances, Yuan wasn’t that talkative.
As Luo Changfeng’s gaze lingered on Yuan for a long time,
Yuan seemed to realize something was amiss,
so he lowered his head slightly,
and then fell silent once more.
"Alright, I understand…"
Luo Changfeng waved his hand, dismissing Yuan from his side.
He then sat alone
under the Stone Pavilion,
drinking tea while looking off into the distance.
No one could know what Luo Changfeng was thinking at that moment.
In the meantime, Luo Changfeng waved his hand again,
signaling Ruan Liuli to stand by his side.
However, Luo Changfeng didn’t command the young girl to do anything,
just to stand beside him,
pouring him cup after cup of steaming tea.
Pouring tea for oneself all the time can become tedious sometimes,
Having a seemingly delicate creature stand by one’s side can be quite a pleasant sight to enjoy.
