Drawing out this sword, Fuxing did not rush to infuse it with barrier power. Instead, she carried the sword and walked off to the side.
Chu Feng realized that Fuxing likely had something to say, so he followed along.
"Chu Feng, you're a good person, right?" Fuxing asked.
"That question… I can't really answer it. Some people might see me as a good person, but many others see me as a villain." Chu Feng laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Then can I trust you?" Fuxing asked again.
Chu Feng thought for a moment, then said, "You can."
"Then you absolutely must keep this secret for me."
"If word gets out, it will bring a killing calamity upon me." Having said this, Fuxing handed a scroll to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng unrolled the scroll. It was a special technique used by Spirit World Masters.
The technique was called the Combat Power Enhancement Art.
The name was simple enough, but it spoke plainly to the technique's purpose.
And upon seeing the origin of this technique, Chu Feng understood why Fuxing was being so secretive about it.
The Combat Power Enhancement Art was created by the founding ancestor of the Celestial Master Divine Sect. One had to consume a pill uniquely crafted by the Celestial Master Divine Sect — the Celestial Master Divine Pill — to boost one's combat power.
"You're from the Celestial Master Divine Sect?"
Chu Feng looked at Fuxing. Although there was no one else around, he still asked via secret voice transmission.
"Yes. I am the successor of the Celestial Master Divine Sect."
"Since you know of the Celestial Master Divine Sect, then you should understand what would happen if the people of the Seven Realms Sacred Villa learned of my identity," Fuxing said.
"Don't worry. I'll keep your secret," Chu Feng said.
"You should have no trouble mastering this technique," Fuxing asked.
"I can cast it directly," Chu Feng said.
Upon hearing this, Fuxing extended her palm. Resting inside was a yellow pill, one that looked utterly unremarkable.
"This is the Celestial Master Divine Pill. Only my founding ancestor can refine it. Every one used is one fewer."
"But when this pill is combined with the Combat Power Enhancement Art of our Celestial Master Divine Sect, it can dramatically enhance barrier combat power — with no side effects."
Chu Feng took the pill. It still felt ordinary in his hand, but when he sensed it with his Mental Power, he could tell this pill was far from simple.
It wasn't even comparable to forbidden drugs!!!
"What a treasure indeed," Chu Feng sighed.
Fuxing then handed another scroll to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng unrolled it. It was a special auxiliary formation designed to enhance Fuxing's combat power.
Fuxing wanted Chu Feng to assist her through this formation.
"I'm asking you to bear with this."
"But we're facing the same opponent. Defeating it is what matters most," Fuxing said.
"That's no problem at all. As long as I get my share of the fruit."
As he spoke, Chu Feng merged the two scrolls together, then handed them back to Fuxing.
"You… don't want to study them a bit more?" Fuxing asked.
Chu Feng smiled faintly, then began forming hand seals to set up the formation. Before long, a magnificent formation materialized before them.
It was precisely the auxiliary formation that Fuxing had wanted Chu Feng to learn.
"Thank goodness my Master didn't notice you before, or else… he probably wouldn't have taken me as his disciple," Fuxing sighed.
