The various sects began to depart from the North Spirit Platform.
Once back in the city, the major sects gathered at the private estate where the Lingyun Sect was staying, all to congratulate Ling Fei for winning the Alchemy and Martial Tournament.
Nominally, it was to congratulate him, but in truth, it was to pay their respects to both the Lingyun Sect and Ling Fei himself.
"Ling the Pill Master, you are truly a prodigy of our Southern Wilderness. I am in awe." Jiang Chen of the North Sea Sect raised his cup, showing his respect.
"Ling the Pill Master, my apologies for my previous offenses. Please forgive me!" Zhu Wei said, his face flush with embarrassment as he raised his cup.
Every time he recalled what he'd said while sparring with Ling the Pill Master, Zhu Wei couldn't help but blush.
'A bona fide Alchemy and Martial Genius... did he really need a small fry like me to go easy on him?'
'If I'd known, I would have never opened my mouth, even if it killed me!'
