"It should be," Ye Feng mumbled, reaching out to the spherical object that looked like both a jewel and a water droplet.
He gently pinched it, finding that the sphere was not a hard gem, but something rather bouncy...
"The outer layer seems to be... the power of heaven and earth?"
Sensing the strange aura emanating from the sphere, Ye Feng was quite surprised and curious.
While Ye Feng was filled with surprise and curiosity, the heaven and earth power on the outer shell of the sphere was slowly absorbed by his fingers...
Immediately, under the slightly worried gaze of Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying, Ye Feng, like the person depicted in the mural Xiao Xiao had pieced together, put the spherical object into his mouth.
"Whoosh!"
The moment it entered Ye Feng's mouth, the sphere shattered.
"Ugh!"
Ye Feng's eyes widened. He felt an extremely pure force flow down his throat into his stomach, then rapidly spread outwards...
This pure force was different from the fine nectar he had drunk before. It caused Ye Feng no pain, but instead made him feel very comfortable... so comfortable that every cell in his body seemed to be cheering...
Gradually, Ye Feng closed his eyes, savoring the strange comfort Anka brought him...
Within a few breaths, Ye Feng's withered, tree-like body began to regain vitality. His shriveled, cracked skin became rosy again... Even the white hair on his head started to turn black...
In no time, Ye Feng transformed from a white-haired, gaunt old man on the verge of death back into the rather robust and spirited youth he had been before!
"Big brother, you've recovered!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao immediately cheered, and Qiao Ying's face was also full of joy.
"Mmm!"
Ye Feng nodded slightly.
"Is this the Water of Life Anka..."
Ye Feng looked at the faint aura of heaven and earth power radiating from his body with great surprise. He had never felt so good before...
The next second, he turned to Qiao Ying and said, "Qiao Ying, take Xiao Xiao away for now!"
Qiao Ying was slightly stunned, then her expression changed. She picked up Xiao Xiao, flashed, and rapidly flew out of the Qingxin Yaju building.
As soon as Qiao Ying and Xiao Xiao landed, they saw a golden flame, as thick as a water tank, pouring down from above Qingxin Yaju. It was the tribulation fire.
"Buzz!"
The tribulation fire did not fall on Qingxin Yaju, but was blocked by Ye Feng, who had flown into the air.
The golden tribulation fire struck Ye Feng's body, but instead of burning him as before, it circled around him...
Ye Feng closed his eyes, recalling what the mysterious elder had told him during his battle with Ares...
Gradually, the tribulation fire seeped into Ye Feng's body, occasionally leaping around him like a playful child...
...
By the time the tribulation fire dissipated, it was already the evening of the next day.
Where Ye Feng had undergone his tribulation, in addition to Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying from the beginning, there were now Bing, Shuang, Yue Yan, Shen Potian, and Shen Yunyao...
"Hoo!"
Ye Feng opened his eyes and let out a soft breath. With a thought, golden tribulation fire instantly appeared at his fingertips, without any arcane energy wrapped around it...
"Big brother!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's happy and excited voice rang out.
"Mmm!"
Ye Feng gently scraped Xiao Xiao's little nose with his hand.
"Ye Feng... Diamond Tier Five... This is probably the most outrageous Diamond Tier Five in the world..."
Yue Yan, who was a short distance behind, muttered. Shen Potian nodded somewhat stiffly, deeply agreeing in his shock.
"Gulp, gulp!"
Before Ye Feng could reply, his stomach protested with hunger.
"Let's go, to the banquet, to celebrate Ye Feng's recovery!"
Saying this, Yue Yan led the way in a certain direction.
...
"This..."
Upon arriving at the place where Yue Yan said the dinner party would be held, Ye Feng couldn't help but be taken aback, as it was a quaintly styled wooden boat.
The ancient wooden boat had oars on the outside, and on the deck was a garden building with an ancient charm, with pavilions and towers interspersed. Various green plants were also beside the buildings...
"Big brother, the boat has started moving..."
Xiao Xiao exclaimed. The oars of the ancient wooden boat moved slightly, and the entire boat slowly ascended into the sky, finally hovering in mid-air.
"This... spatial power?"
After observing the ancient wooden boat from the railing, Ye Feng quickly understood the reason why it could fly into the sky.
"Mmm!"
Yue Yan walked to Ye Feng's side and nodded, "This wooden boat is called Cloud Sail. I accidentally discovered it while exploring this ancient ruin. It's said to be a product of the Tian Gong clan, just like the legendary Noah's Ark!"
"Ancient ruins?"
Ye Feng turned his head, looking at Yue Yan in surprise.
"Mmm!"
"The entire City of Arcane Arts was built on the ancient ruins I discovered... including that city defense formation..."
After speaking, Yue Yan looked through to Bing and the others, "The banquet is a barbecue, and we're a bit short-handed, so everyone help yourselves..."
"Okay!"
...
In the night sky,
Ye Feng sat on the edge of the Cloud Sail, enjoying the high-altitude night view, occasionally raising his wine bottle and taking a sip, quite leisurely.
Xiao Xiao was curiously playing with the water-light butterflies that had flown out of Ye Feng's spatial storage with Bing, Shuang, and Shen Yunyao...
Meanwhile, Qiao Ying looked at the growing number of water-light butterflies, deep in thought...
"Senior Shen, is something on your mind?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng walked up to Shen Potian and asked.
This was because he noticed Shen Potian holding a wine bottle alone, looking at the night sky, and frowning occasionally.
"Uh... you could say that~"
Shen Potian was slightly surprised by Ye Feng's continued polite tone, but more so by his relief and happiness. Having lived for so many years, he had seen too many people become arrogant when they achieved success...
"This trip to the City of Arcane Arts has made me feel that things are complicated. Just in case, I've also summoned Qian Ying..."
"Qian Ying protected Yao Yao several times this time... but it seems her energy is depleted, and she can no longer absorb energy automatically as before..."
He paused, and Shen Potian spoke again, his voice tinged with obvious regret, after all, it was a Heaven-tier mecha.
"Can I see it?"
Ye Feng looked around and said softly, "Perhaps... I can help..."
"Mmm! Alright!"
Shen Potian was slightly taken aback, then nodded in agreement.
Soon, Ye Feng and Shen Potian went to a secluded spot.
"Swoosh!"
A flash of light appeared on Shen Potian's hand, and a silver-white humanoid mecha, about two meters tall, instantly appeared. It was the Heaven-tier mecha, Qian Ying, which Ye Feng had seen at the Brad Base.
