Chapter 481: Depth

"Maybe today your unbeatable record might be beaten, Sect Master Xiao..." Duan Lie spoke softly.

Xiao Canglan smiled, "I will be happy if that happens, although I don’t know if he really will be able to do so..."

Xiao Canglan holds the highest climbing record of seventy-eight steps, and very people are close to him, One of them was Sun Xiurong, who reached seventy-six steps.

There was a reason for this, just like how the fortieth step brings some change, the seventy-fifth step does it too.

The intensity of the pain increases so much at that point that your body itself succumbs to the absolute fear of pain. Even if you want to take another step, your whole being would oppose your will to do so.

This is why, even if there were some people who reached the seventy-fourth step, they weren’t able to take another step or stopped at the seventy-fifth step due to losing consciousness.

Cui Shuyin was one of them too. She tried to climb the seventy-fifth step, but the moment her foot touched the seventy-fifth step, she lost consciousness and fell back to seventy-four step.

"Fifty, and still no indication that he is slowing down..." Qin Ruoxuan sighed, "Does this mean he has an indomitable will?"

Every step Lin Feng was taking continuously was increasing the heartbeat of everyone present there.

"Tolerance to pain isn’t enough to represent complete willpower, it is just one part of it..." Xiao Canglan stated calmly.

"True..." Duan Lie nodded in agreement, "However, it definitely shows a glimpse of what level of willpower someone is holding..."

Qin Ruoxuan gave a slight nod, "Should I inform the others too? Surely we cannot leave them out from the acceptance ceremony of such a disciple?"

Cui Shuyin shook her head when she heard that, "Just inform Elder Shen, the others are irrelevant..."

Xiao Canglan and the others became bewildered immediately.

"What are you implying, Elder Cui?" Qin Ruoxuan asked.

"Well..." Cui Shuyin sighed before deciding to tell them, "The thing is that till now Feng’er has shown unbeatable talent in alchemy..."

This statement made the others look at her with even more confused expressions.

"Unbeatable..." Duan Lie stretched his voice slightly, "You sounded quite certain about that part, Elder Cui, are you sure you are not overstating it?"

"Oh well..." Cui Shuyin decided to explain to them about what she had seen in the town.

As she began mentioning Lin Feng’s feats, the elders felt a little disbelief, but knowing that Cui Shuyin had no reason to lie to them, they became slightly stunned.

Hearing that Alchemy Hall was interested and Lin Feng declined them upfront made them dumbfounded.

Which talented alchemist would decline Alchemy Hall’s invitation like that?

"That’s quite interesting..." Qin Ruoxuan laughed slightly, "This might be the first time someone has declined them publicly..."

"I must say, if what you said is true, Elder Cui, then Shen Tianji might become mad with happiness..." Han Kuang stated with a little loss in his voice.

"I think you missed the whole point here, Elder Han..." Xiao Canglan gave a small smile and continued.

"The fact that this person has even declined the invitation of Alchemy Hall, then why would he want to join our Alchemy Pavilion?"

He looked into Lin Feng’s eyes and suddenly felt something which wasn’t there before, "And look at those eyes... I don’t know what you all see in his eyes, but those eyes aren’t something that belongs to an alchemist..."

Duan Lie, Qin Ruoxuan, Han Kuang, and even Cui Shuyin and Sun Xiurong instinctively looked into Lin Feng’s eyes.

What they saw was absolute calmness. So much that somehow, they found themselves drawn into those tranquil eyes before an invisible pressure suddenly gripped their hearts, jolting them out of their stupor.

They all got shocked before most of them looked at each other.

"W-what the hell was that?" Han Kuang was visibly shaken. How could he even feel something like that from a junior who was just in the Initiation Realm?

"That is depth of his willpower... sigh" Xiao Canglan sighed with a little defeat, "Something which he didn’t even intend for us to see..."

Cui Shuyin and the others understood what he meant. Walking on those steps continuously was the reason they were able to sense it.

"It seems I stand corrected... If that isn’t an indomitable will, then I don’t know what else would be an appropriate term for it..." Qin Ruoxuan took a small breath and chuckled slightly, "I am feeling a little ashamed to feel something like that from a junior though..."

The intention of others were similar too.

"Don’t feel ashamed..." Xiao Canglan smiled, "There are some anomalies which defy the heavenly beliefs in this Heavenly Realm..." He then pointed towards Lin Feng, "He might be one of them..."

Qin Ruoxuan sighed and nodded in acceptance, "I hope he lives long enough to leave his imprint on this world than.."

The others sighed too when they heard that.

The premature death of geniuses is a very common thing. There are many who want to see them suppressed or killed just because of their jealousy.

This is the reason why they also don’t want Cui Shuyin to leave the sect without a protector.

"Elder Cui, the way you addressed him so familiarly tells me you already have an advantage. Would you mind stepping aside for a while so the rest of us may have an equal chance?" Duan Lie asked politely.

They all had noticed Cui Shuyin calling him Feng’er.

Cui Shuyin’s lips curled up slightly in amusement, "I think you misunderstood something very deeply here. You might argue the fact that Lin Feng wanted to join the sect even before I found him, but who do you think is the reason he decided to do so?"

Qin Ruoxuan and the others got bewildered again before Cui Shuyin pointed towards Sun Xiurong.

"It was Xiu’er whom he met first after coming to this world, and she is the reason why he decided to come here..."

Sun Xiurong turned her eyes towards Cui Shuyin as if asking her why she phrased it like that.
