Everlasting Chapter 290: Promoted To Elite Disciple (1/2)

“Congratulations to Junior Brother Chen for successfully escaping,” Sun Xuan came forward and said happily. The rest, too, stepped forward to greet him. Chen Feng smiled and chatted with them while secretly observing their reactions.

Some were pleasantly surprised; some had forced smiles and some revealed entangled expressions.

As expected, some fellows are unreliable. Chen Feng secretly lamented. He was their saviour, after all. Back then, if it were not for him, all of them would have been killed by the demonic beasts. However, seeing Chen Feng successfully escape from the training grounds, some of them were having other thoughts.

Naturally, Chen Feng understood that it was due to the rumours of him possessing a Sacred artefact. If it were not for that Sacred artefact rumour, these people would truly be pleasantly surprised to see him.

“Junior Brother Chen, please come in. We need to have a good talk. It is all thanks to Junior Brother Chen's actions of stepping forward that all of us here can escape back then.” Sun Xuan was very enthusiastic. Both his eyes revealed sincerity and no other thoughts could be seen from him.

“Fellow senior brothers, let's not stand on ceremony,” Chen Feng said smilingly.

There was a small pavilion inside the courtyard. After they were all seated, several inner disciples came in to bring some snacks and drinks for them. After that, they bowed courteously and left.

“He he, as expected from an elite disciple. Even the attending disciples are inner disciples,” Chen Feng said with a chuckle.

“Given Junior Brother Chen's present level of strength, forget the rank of elite disciple, it will be no problem for you to take the a.s.sessment to become a core disciple.” Sun Xuan laughed.

“A pity, my cultivation level is still lacking.” Chen Feng smiled wryly.

“Brother Chen. You just need to hand over some of the demon cores you obtained from the Demon Trial Grounds to the sect. Given your strength, there will be no issues in getting promoted to the elite disciple rank,” w.a.n.g Meng suddenly said.

“Is that so? In that case, I will give it a shot.” Chen Feng nodded his head.

Since sitting down, everyone there had been chatting coolly. None spoke up about Chen Feng's involvement in the Demon Trial Grounds.

Finally, Sun Xuan spoke up.

“When did Junior Brother Chen come out from the Demon Trial Grounds? Back then, the demonic beasts were causing a pandemonium and many Great Yaos emerged. All of us were feeling worried. Today, seeing you safe and sound puts us at ease,” Sun Xuan said with a smile.

“I have been out for a while now. I came out not too long after you fellows did. However, I did not use the pa.s.sageway that our Extreme Celestial Sect opened. I used another teleportation pa.s.sageway out. After coming out, I rushed back. I only arrived two days ago,” said Chen Feng.

“I have heard that, back then, the Great Yaos in the Demon Trial Grounds were all dispatched to capture Brother Chen. Is that true?” w.a.n.g Meng had an impetuous and straightforward character and he asked openly.

“He he! Back then, I fought the humanoid demon and was wounded. Thus, I went into hiding. As for the matter of Great Yaos getting dispatched to capture me, he he, if that were true, it would have been impossible for me to escape,” Chen Feng replied with a chuckle.

“However, there is a rumour that Brother Chen possesses a Sacred artefact,” a disciple known as Lin Qi suddenly spoke up.

Hearing those words, everyone there fell silent and they all secretly checked Chen Feng's reaction.

“He he, I don't have a Sacred artefact. However, I do have a high-grade Prized artefact,” Chen Feng replied with a chortle.

“High-grade Prized artefact? Can Brother Chen show us?” Lin Qi's eyes lit up before continuing.

“Of course.” Chen Feng smiled and waved his hand. Next, a fiery-red sword appeared within his grasp. A searing, sharp and formidable aura erupted outwards, forcing Lin Qi and several other cultivators with lesser cultivation bases to take a few steps back.

“A fire sword at grade 9 of the Prized tier, forged using the fangs of a wyrm. I name it Fire Wyrm Sword.” Having said that, Chen Feng tossed it towards Sun Xuan.

“What a formidable aura! As expected of a high-grade Prized artefact. A pity, there is one step left between it and a Sacred artefact, otherwise it could reach the Heavens,” Sun Xuan said with a sigh. Finally, he handed the sword back to Chen Feng. The others had also wanted to feel it. However, seeing as Chen Feng had no intentions of letting them do so, they kept quiet.

“Yes, although there is just a one-step difference between this Prized artefact and a Sacred artefact, it is a world of difference.” Chen Feng nodded his head and kept the sword back. As Chen Feng had yet to refine the sword, he did not want to leave it outside for too long, fearing that someone might notice something.

“I didn't think that Brother Chen could possess such a top-grade Prized artefact. How enviable!”

“Just enviable? I'm practically salivating here. I don't even have a grade 1 Prized artefact!”

They all cast envious gazes at Chen Feng.

They then continued to chat away. Then, one by one, some began leaving. In the end, only Luo Bo, Sun Xuan and Lu Ta were left.

“Junior Brother Chen, those Great Yaos were after you, right?” Sun Xuan said with a smile as he looked right at Chen Feng.

“Yes.” Chen Feng nodded his head.

“If so, the matter about the Sacred artefact must be true as well?” Sun Xuan raised his brows.

“It is true.” Chen Feng nodded again.

“Junior Brother Chen, you actually trust me so much? To be telling me about something so important.” Sun Xuan sighed.
