Chapter 331 - 161: The Gates of Chenguan Prefecture Are Opened, Genius and Mediocrity?_3
After a long watch, Luo Changfeng finally turned around.
He returned to the Stone Pavilion in the courtyard.
...
Strange, very strange.
Following the sprouting of the mysterious seed that Luo Changfeng had taken out from the Heritage Secret Realm,
everything within that Half Spirit Field
seemed to have become somewhat odd.
Of course, by odd,
it referred to the condition and rate of growth of the Spiritual Medicines within the Half Spirit Field, which were considerably better than he had anticipated.
Even more so, because of the gradually growing verdant sprout,
the Spiritual Power within that Half Spirit Field miraculously became denser.
The Spiritual Power contained within the Spirit Field,
apparently, was also increasing little by little as time passed.
Rather than saying that the place was still a Half Spirit Field,
it would be better to say,
that the Half Spirit Field seemed to be transforming into a true Spirit Field.
"Could it be because of that unknown, mysterious Spiritual Medicine sapling?"
Underneath the Stone Pavilion,
Luo Changfeng held a steaming cup of tea while quietly contemplating in his mind.
However, after only a short moment of thought,
he laughed and shook his head.
Regardless of whether it was due to that unknown, mysterious Spiritual Medicine sapling or not,
as long as everything was moving in a better direction,
that was enough, wasn’t it?
...
In the small courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion,
while Luo Changfeng leisurely sipped his hot tea,
the shadow next to him suddenly distorted slightly.
A figure clad in black, exuding the Initial Realm of Blood Cultivation,
which was a Death Warrior specifically cultivated by pooling all the strength of the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect,
suddenly appeared before his eyes.
"Has the Black Crow Flame that I had repurchased in five portions arrived?"
Luo Changfeng glanced at the mystical ring in the Death Warrior’s hand, used for storing Spiritual Fire and Beast Fire,
and reached out his hand to play with the ring.
Then, he waved his hand,
dismissing the Death Warrior cultivated by the Luo Mountain Prefecture Sub-sect.
Next, of course, was to extract the five portions of the Black Crow Flame from within the ring.
"Trying to escape?"
"You might as well save your energy..."
Luo Changfeng watched the five balls of pitch-black flame that were struggling,
Before he could say anything,
the Spiritual Fire Void residing within him,
consciously separated from Luo Changfeng’s body at that moment.
[Sizzle...]
The Void silently watched Luo Changfeng,
Though it showed no expression,
from the rhythm and frequency of its flickering flames,
Luo Changfeng seemed to feel its desire.
"Go..."
Luo Changfeng whispered.
And as he finished speaking,
the Spiritual Fire Void rushed excitedly towards the five balls of pitch-black Beast Fire, the Black Crow Flame.
Only after it had devoured the five clumps of Black Crow Flame,
did it contentedly return to Luo Changfeng’s side.
"It seems, even darker now..."
"And even deeper..."
"The core strength of the Spiritual Fire Void seems to have become much stronger than before..."
He thought silently to himself.
Luo Changfeng suddenly asked the Spiritual Fire Void in a low voice, "So, the more flames you devour, the stronger you become, and there’s even no limit?"
Listening to its master’s words, Nôv(el)B\\jnn
the Void tried hard to think.
However, this question seemed somewhat profound,
resulting in the Spiritual Fire Void merely staring blankly at Luo Changfeng,
without offering any answer.
"Alright then..."
Luo Changfeng nodded somewhat helplessly, then he allowed the Void to return inside him.
It seemed that this question was indeed beyond the Void’s ability to understand.
...
After sorting out the matter with the Spiritual Fire Void,
Luo Changfeng then placed an order for ten portions of Black Crow Flame with the Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect.
Afterward, he summoned Yuan, who had been hiding in a corner.
Stay connected through empire
At that moment, the youth known as Yuan stood silently by Luo Changfeng’s side,
his head slightly bowed, not uttering a word.
Because of excessive killing, a faintly cold breath always seemed to drift around him.
"How is that little guy doing now?"
Looking at Yuan beside him,
after a long silence,
Luo Changfeng once again asked him in a low voice.
Yuan pondered for a moment, then replied, "His cultivation and strength have improved, but due to poor talent, he is still only at the bottom in the small courtyard..."
"Still at the bottom?"
Luo Changfeng muttered to himself upon hearing this.
However, just a moment later,
he waved his hand and dismissed Yuan who was beside him.
...
In the real world.
Fate is never fair.
Talent and potential often determine your upper limit.
A genius may practice for one day, while a mediocre person needs a hundred days, even a thousand days.
In this way, how can a mediocre person catch up with the steps of a genius?
Compared to Luo Yao and that Luo Qingshan,
Luo Ze is obviously the so-called mediocre person.
In cultivating, he has no particular talent, but his willpower is firmer than any Luo Changfeng had ever seen.
People like him often do not enjoy too many family resources.
After growing to a certain age, they will be sent out of the family to manage the family’s businesses,
making their own contribution to the propagation and sustenance of the family’s lineage.
But it was because of Luo Ze’s perseverance
that Luo Changfeng had given the young man chance after chance.
However, it’s a pity,
that fate did not allow Luo Ze to embark on the path of a genius just because of the opportunities Luo Changfeng provided.
"Improved, but still just at the lower level in that small courtyard outside of Qingshi City, huh?"
"Luo Ze, Luo Ze..."
"I’m really getting more curious."
"With someone like you in this cold and cruel world of cultivation, how far can you actually go?"
