Chapter 203: Spiritual Sense Examination

There were many things that did not go as one wished in life.

Although Feng Feiyun was sympathetic towards Murong Ta’s situation, he was not overly affected by it. In the end, everyone had their own stories. The most important part was how their future would turn out.

Murong Ta’s bright eyes gazed at the Boundary Spirit Stone by Feng Feiyun’s waist. Earlier when Feng Feiyun wanted to take out the Eight Arts Volume but then decided against it, this stone did not escape Murong Ta’s eyes.

He handed a deliciously grilled fish to Feng Feiyun. This fish was fresh and fatty with the sweet fragrance of bamboo leaves. Although Feng Feiyun was used to eating delicacies, those cuisines were only mundane and ordinary. They could not compare to this grilled fish.

Both the chicken and fish grilled by Murong Ta were number one. To become friends with him was a blessing for one’s eating habits.

“It is a pity that you are not a chef!” Feng Feiyun ate three of these fish as quick as the wind and threw the fishbones all over the ground. His mouth was full of oil that reflected the warm sunlight.

After being exiled from the Feng Clan, he had not eaten or laughed so joyously.

“If you open a big restaurant, then I’ll be your head chef.” Murong Ta jokingly said with a smile.

“Really?” Feng Feiyun threw away the fourth set of fishbones and asked.

“I never joke around.” Murong Ta spoke with a secretive glare.

“Haha! Very well, remember these words then.” Feng Feiyun said, then he suddenly stood up and picked up a branch from the ground. With this branch, he began to draw a strange line with complicated runes. Each symbol was particularly interesting.

Murong Ta came standing by his side and looked at the drawing on the ground before curiously asking: “What are you drawing?”

“In order to become a Treasure Seeking Master, outside of having a great spiritual sense, one must have great eyesight and a basic knowledge for a few things. For example, formations. This is something that all Treasure Seeking Masters must know.”

Feng Feiyun moved his hand back and forth. Very quickly, he carved a formation on the ground. To be more exact, an outline of a formation.

“You want to teach me formations?” Murong Ta became quite ecstatic. His thin body crouched down and he carefully looked at the runes and outlines on the ground with a very interested expression.

Feng Feiyun put away the bamboo branch and also crouched down. Then, he smilingly said: “There are too many formations in this world; with many different types and complex arrangements, there are more than one thousand different techniques of drawing them. However, they are divided into nine ranks. The higher the rank, the greater the complexity. Some high level formations would require several years of drawing and preparation to complete.”

Murong Ta sat next to Feng Feiyun and quietly listened to his lecture while his spirited eyes gently shifted.

“However, everything has the same beginning, and all the initial frameworks of these formations are the same. Just like what Master Taozi said, the Infinity gave birth to the Absolute, then the Absolute gave birth to the heaven and earth, then the four divisions came from the heaven and earth, and then the Bagua came from the four divisions, and finally all livings things were born from the Bagua. Although the myriad existences are cumbersomely complex, all beginnings are stemmed from the Infinity and the Absolute.” Feng Feiyun was afraid that Murong Ta wouldn’t understand, so he explained everything in great detail. 1

Murong Ta slightly nodded his head and said: “Then this thing you carved just now is the bare outline of all formations?”

“You can put it that way.” Feng Feiyun patted Murong Ta’s shoulder and handed him the bamboo branch while gesturing for him to draw.

Murong Ta’s talent at creating formations especially shocked Feng Feiyun. It was as if he was someone who had studied formations for many years. After just three failures, he managed to draw a complete formation outline.

This was the culmination of many years of research from many wise sages from the Demon Phoenix Race, the result of many years to form an outline capable of carving all the formations in this world. It was much more amazing compared to the formation scriptures of humans.

Feng Feiyun thought that Murong Ta was truly an unparalleled genius of the Treasure Seeking Master branch.

Time began to slowly pass by like this. Before they knew it, the two were laughing and studying like a teacher and student, but they were also friends.

When the sun was up high, the examination teacher of the Spirit Treasure Tower came to find them and wanted to bring them to the real spiritual sense test.

It was already extremely impressive for someone to have a spiritual sense nine times greater than an ordinary person. They would be greatly valued by the predecessors from the tower. Moreover, one of them was also the son of the demon, so even the tower master specifically came to ask about this.

After finding out that Feng Feiyun was the son of the demon, this old man before them who always liked to pretend to be cool had to behave a bit. He quietly led the way, but Feng Feiyun suddenly stopped when they reached a straight cliff along the way.

Murong Ta was right behind him and almost hit his head against Feng Feiyun’s back. He quickly paused as well.

The old man noticed the strange expressions from the two geniuses behind him, so he quickly asked: “What is wrong?”

Feng Feiyun asked with a cold glint in his eyes: “Who is the person staying inside that cliff?”
