The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 158 The Ugly Nature of Humanity

"This Feng Tianjue is quite skilled in the art of ruling the world!" Feng Ling thought to himself, glancing at the man in the purple-gold crown with admiration.

He remembered that when he recounted his trip to Sunset City, he had repeatedly emphasized the important role Feng Yuqing played in the battle at the Sun Mansion.

Logically speaking, Feng Yuqing and Ling Weiyun's avatars' contribution in resisting a large number of evil spirit masters at the Sun residence is no less than Leng Ningshuang's contribution in going to Shili Slope alone to kill the evil spirit masters!
Everyone knew that Feng Yuqing's reward should at least be equal to Leng Ningshuang's, but Feng Yuqing received one less Ghost Stone than Leng Ningshuang. This could only be because Feng Tianjue did it on purpose.

Winning hearts and minds!

Thinking of this, someone smiled to himself: "On the surface, he has achieved the status of a 'wise patriarch,' but whether he will provide compensation in secret is another matter."

No one knows!
Even if people later guessed it, they probably wouldn't bother to investigate further!

"The last one, Feng Ling...!"

Upon hearing the call, the man in purple exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly stepped forward amidst the strange and complicated gazes of the crowd, each step appearing steady and unhurried.

"Hmph, what are you pretending for!" Many core disciples widened their eyes, adopting a sour grapes attitude, and looked at the purple figure that walked up to the Jade Purity Sect Master, curling their lips in disdain.

They felt a vague displeasure when Leng Ningshuang and Feng Yuqing took the initiative to greet them earlier.

Although they were self-aware enough to know that they could not possibly have any connection with the two goddesses, watching Feng Ling, who appeared out of nowhere, get along so well with them still made them feel quite uncomfortable.

envy!

They thought the other party had just had a stroke of good luck with women, but they didn't expect that they would also have incredible luck. They believed that with the protection of a mysterious powerhouse, if they were to go, they could still hold off the Bone White General for a while!

"Bastard! Taking advantage of the chaos...!"

"This pale-faced boy must be benefiting from... good fortune!"

"Hmph, he's just a lucky guy who got lucky!"

……

As the purple-robed man held the pitch-black stone handed to him by the Jade Purity Sect Master, many people began to grit their teeth and whisper among themselves, creating a somewhat noisy and chaotic scene.

"Thank you for the reward, Sect Master. I will accept these three Ghost Stones!" With a cold and indifferent tone, a flash of light disappeared from the purple-robed man's hand.

Compared to the others, Feng Ling remained relatively calm. This was something he was entitled to. He was joking, after all; he had risked serious injury and death to forcibly kill the Bone White General…

Is this what they call "fishing in troubled waters"?

Is this called... taking advantage of someone else's success?
Is this what they call...luck?
Faced with countless disdainful and provocative gazes and sarcastic remarks, Feng Ling found it both laughable and infuriating, yet he never uttered a word.

Looking back on my past and present lives, I've lived more than half a lifetime. What kind of people haven't I seen?

Feng Ling could deeply understand that the crowd wasn't targeting him specifically. Even if someone else had been on stage to receive the grand prize, they would still have done the same, mocking and ridiculing him.

"Whoosh...!" In a brief pause, the purple-clad man quickly banished all the remaining distracting thoughts from his mind, exhaled a breath of stale air, and turned to glance around.

"Shh...! Keep your voice down, this kid's acting weird!"

The man in purple was extremely indifferent, especially his sweeping gaze, which was as calm as a stagnant pool.

The sight sent chills down the spines of many who witnessed it, including the elders who were being watched. They all felt numb all over, with no part of their bodies feeling comfortable.

"What are you afraid of? Does he dare to make a move?"

One of the core disciples looked disdainful, and although he said that, he was actually terrified inside.

In their eyes, Feng Ling was just lucky!
Most of the elders and others looked on with envy, jealousy and resentment.

"This lad has extraordinary talent; I've never seen anything like it in my entire life!" A small number of elders, however, had discerning eyes and their gazes lit up as they looked at the man in purple.

He wanted to take on a disciple, but he didn't want to announce it in front of everyone in such a heated atmosphere, lest someone misunderstand that he was only interested in the disciple's enviable prize.

"Fortunately, not all of them are useless!" After noticing the abnormality, the man in purple curled his lips, then, as if he hadn't heard the discussions of the crowd, he looked away and prepared to leave the Jade Purity Hall alone.

"Feng Ling, thank you for finding the Elder's Token for Yu Qing. Consider this Body Refining Pill a token of my gratitude!"

Seeing that the purple-robed man's condition was slightly off, Feng Tianjue hurriedly stepped forward and placed a jet-black pill, the same color as the Ghost Stone, into the man's hand.

He secretly transmitted a message to him: "Wait patiently until the awards ceremony is over before you leave. As long as you can swallow this anger, you can study the several rare legendary cultivation techniques on the fourth floor of the library!"

At this moment, the Jade Purity Sect Master could clearly sense that Feng Ling's aura had undergone some subtle changes. It seemed that his realm had not changed, but his strength had increased. He couldn't explain why this strange feeling was so inexplicable!
Is picking up a token worth a Body Refining Pill?

"This...!" Everyone looked at the Jade Purity Sect Master with a jet-black pill, their eyes filled with strange expressions. They hesitated to speak, but then fell into an eerie silence. There wasn't a single word of questioning or discussion!

"Such a rapid change? Could it be that CD changed her personality?" This made the purple-robed man, who was examining the Body Refining Pill, frown and feel extremely suspicious.

The Body Refining Pill can be used to assist in refining the body with the Ghost Stone, and its effects are excellent. If a legendary Ghost Spirit Master could obtain one, it would greatly shorten the time required to refine the Ghost Stone.

More importantly, the Body Refining Pill is a second-grade pill!
In fact, their value is equivalent to half of a Demon Stone. There's no reason for these people to have changed their appearances so drastically in just a few minutes!
"Suppressing aura!"

A subtle energy emanated from the man in the purple-gold crown. Following the flow of energy, Feng Ling finally realized where the problem lay.

Originally, Feng Tianjue's gift of the Elder Token to Feng Ling was destroyed by everyone. How could he allow the gift of the Body Refining Pill to "mishap" again?
The core disciples and elders who had initially intended to speak were now all pale-faced, with cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

It's not that they don't want to speak, it's that they simply can't bring themselves to speak!
"Damn it...!" Long Yuzhong remained expressionless as he watched thousands of invisible auras emanate from the man in the purple-gold crown, but inwardly he was gritting his teeth and cursing furiously.

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
