History's Number 1 Founder


He time-traveled and got a system but Lin Feng's pressure is as big as a mountain.

System main quest: Ling Feng creates a school, establishing history's number 1 sect, Ling Feng himself becoming the number 1 founder.

And so to become history's number 1 founder Lin Feng started to work hard.

"Your name is Shi Tianhao? Natural born supreme king but it was stolen by your cousin. Now being raised in a little village your father placed you in? Come come come, come with master, we'll let those people know that justice that is owed must be returned!"

"Your name is Xiao Yan? A genius in the past, now a loser. Your fiance even came over and humiliated you by breaking off the engagement? Come come come, come with master, we'll let that brat know the meaning of don't bully a youngster because he's poor!"

"Your name is Zhu Yi? The bastard son of a marquis, suppressed by your father. Your mother was the previous saint but she was killed? Come come come, come with master, we'll let your dad know the meaning of the world is big, fists are… no, reason is the biggest!"


Chapter 1: The Bullsh*t System

Translator:Sparrow_

Editor:Sparrow, Yuui

It was the middle of the night. The sky was completely dark but it was far from quiet in these boundless mountains. Savage beasts lurked; their thunderous roars shook the mountains, causing the forest to tremble and the trees to rustle.

Yet another beast roar. Lin Feng retracted his neck and swept off the leaves that fell on his body. Looking at the dark mountains, he sighed in his heart. This place was really a lot different from Earth.

As Lin Feng was spacing out under a tree, a few wild looking teens looked at him with disdain. A little fat boy shouted at Lin Feng, "We didn't allow an outsider like you to stay in our village just to freeload and eat. Hurry up and work!"

Lin Feng got back to his senses. Without speaking, he stood up, wiped the leaves off his bottom and left.

Behind him, the little fatty snorted, "Useless trash… His physical strength can't even compare to a child's. We should just throw him into the mountains and let him get eaten by wild beasts!"

Lin Feng's lips twitched. Big brother here is an Earthling who travelled through worlds. How can my strength compete against you animals.

This is the Heaven Primal World, a world governed by cultivators.

The village in front of him, Wolf Village, was just a small village in these vast mountains. Naturally, there were no cultivators here, but every villager trained hard in martial arts and their physical strength. This even included the women and children.

This was the only way they could survive in this world where savage beasts were rampant.

Even though it was the middle of the night, the young men of the village still had to enter the mountains to hunt as there were more animals active at night. While there were many dangers which came from entering the mountains at night, there were also greater rewards.

All the villagers were used to this lifestyle. The children that remained in the village do not sleep as they gathered to play and compete, waiting for the adults to return from the hunts.

Children, with snot still running from their noses, casually played with stone blocks that weighed over 100 jin. A group of teens were competing to see who could lift a big 1000 jin cauldron in the village.

Lin Feng looked at the group of little animals and sighed silently. He's truly trash when comparing his strength against these children..

But this did not make Lin Feng feel depressed. Even though he was occasionally talked about behind his back, he used his sweet-talking ability to temporarily stay in this little village. What really hurt his balls, is something else which had appeared in his head.

Super Founder System.

Initially, Lin Feng was incredibly happy, thinking that world travellers had exclusive benefits. However, the first explanation of the system immediately made his heart go cold.

"System Main Quest: Host creates a sect, establishing this world's number one sect, becoming the number one founder."

"The main quest is split into different stages. Every stage needs to be completed within a set amount of time. If the task is not completed within the time limit, directly eliminate the host!"

Lin Feng looked at the system explanation, especially that last line "Directly eliminate the host". He was speechless for a long time before squeezing out a few words through his teeth, "I bought a watch last year!" [1]

After venting his anger, Lin Feng helplessly read the details of the quest. He was not prepared to risk challenging the system, seeing if it could really eliminate him. He just came to this world, he did not even warmed up his seat yet, he didn't want to die again.

Main Quest 1.0 — Take in 4 disciples.

Quest Details: Even if it's a wandering practitioner, if they want to pass on their legacy, they need to take in a disciple. A sect's most important resource will always be people. Famous teachers teach outstanding students. It is hard to find a famous teacher. It is even harder to find an outstanding student.

Quest Time Limit: 1 year. If not completed within the time limit, directly eliminate the host!

"This is bullsh*t!" Lin Feng let out a sigh. "I'm just a newbie who travelled through worlds. I'm as tender as a bush of young cabbage. I should be the one looking for a strong master and hugging his leg, right?"

"Oh System, at any rate, shouldn't you at least give me a secret manual before I can start taking in students? I've got nothing in my pockets so what do you want me to teach them? Cheating and boasting?"

"What's worse is, the system clearly said that there will be a novice gift, yet it's telling me that a malfunction has happened to the gift system and that the novice gift has been delayed!" Lin Feng sighed as there was no end to the bullsh*t he is in.

However, at least the trading system was open, and it had a bunch of good stuff: panaceas, magic weapons, manuals, techniques. If you could think of it, it would probably be there.

There's one big problem: all of the items required trading points and Lin Feng didn't even have a single trading point at the moment. He could only stare at the system and roll his eyes.

Lin Feng was in the middle of swearing at the bullsh*t system when there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the village. From the looks of it, the hunting party had returned.

The teens waiting at the entrance all happily went to greet them while Lin Feng glanced at them indifferently. Surprisingly, the men returning from the hunt were all empty handed. Not only did they not have any prey, even their weapons were missing.

For the villagers, their weapons were their second life. Living in the mountains, it would be impossible to survive without weapons.

The corners of Lin Feng's lips lifted up into a hard-to-notice smile, "Seems like there's a story." As he thought of this, he walked towards the crowd at the village entrance.

He did not even need to get close before he heard someone yelling angrily, "Lang Feng is our Wolf Village's hope. Now he's been seriously injured by the people of Stone Village, we cannot let this go!"

Lin Feng lifted his eyes and looked over, seeing a teen in the middle of the crowd lying on the ground with a dejected expression. His entire body was covered with wounds and his eyes released a cold gleam of hatred.

"This is the genius the people of Wolf Village are always talking about?" Lin Feng secretly watched him. He had already heard Lang Feng's illustrious name for a long time. He was the idol of the entire Wolf Village's teens and was seen as the hope of the village. Today was Lin Feng's first time seeing him in person.

Even though Lang Feng was currently hurt, the energy within his body was evident. Even though the strength of his body could not compare to those of cultivators, but it was definitely top notch amongst worldly martial artists.

Based on the public opinion of the Heaven Primal World, being able to achieve such a physical body at such a young age signified great prospects in his future cultivation. Ultimately, what cultivators did was to guide the energy of the world into their bodies, using it to refine their mana and strengthen their foundations.

Lin Feng quietly brought out his Super Founder System and activated the Disciple Talent Probe. He faced it towards Lang Feng and pressed confirm.

"The target's aptitude is too low; he cannot become the host's disciple."

Lin Feng scrunched his forehead. This system was too picky. His initial thoughts were to randomly take in four disciples to get over with the system's one year limit. He could simply kick them out at the end.

But from the looks of it, it wasn't so easy to exploit the system. Even Lang Feng, the famous genius of Wolf Village didn't have the qualifications to be his disciple. The difficulty for Lin Feng to take in four disciples and complete the system's task was a little too much.

"One year's time, one year's time…" Lin Feng let out a depressed sigh.

In the crowd, an old man beside Lang Fang snorted, "Lang Feng is my grandson; of course we cannot let this go. But now's not the right time. There's been a lot of activity in the mountains over the past few days. From the looks of it, a mountain treasure is about to appear. First we get the treasure. Then we can go settle things with Stone Village!"

Fights between village clans occurred commonly, and Lin Feng had no interest in the fight. But the two words "Mountain Treasure" excited him.

Lin Feng was in the middle of pondering about the mountain treasure when he suddenly heard someone in the crowd cursing quietly, "How did Stone Village raise that little monster? He's still a little child who's barely 4 years old. To think that he can defeat our village's genius Lang Feng. It's preposterous!"

Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.

A little kid, who's not even 4 years old, beat this village genius Lang Feng?

Lang Feng could already be considered quite talented; the person that injured him hadn't even reached 4 years of age, what kind of talent was that?

The little fatty beside Lin Feng quietly cursed, "Damn twerp, we have to kill him!"

Giving him a glance, Lin Feng echoed, "Yes, indeed." However, in his heart, Lin Feng was thinking that he might have finally found someone who could win the system's acknowledgement.

As he thought of this, Lin Feng silently backed out of the crowd. Right now, he wished that he could grow a pair of wings and fly towards Stone Village, but he didn't dare to leave the village by himself. He would just be giving an extra meal to the beasts in the mountains.

Right at this moment, the stiff, mechanical sound of the system notification abruptly rang in Lin Feng's mind.

"Novice Gift distributed, do you want to examine it?"

After a brief feeling of blankness, Lin Feng became thrilled in his heart. He'd never felt that the dull and stiff sound of the system notification would actually be so pleasant and nice.

Finding an empty space, Lin Feng opened the novice gift.

Novice gift: Host obtains basic level of Qi Disciple 4th level. Obtains 1 lottery chance. Obtains 300 trading points. Obtains tao technique manual"Nine Heavens Thunder Technique". Obtains "Heavenly Thunder Call" skill.

Lin Feng blanked out; a warm feeling flowed downwards from the top of his head, flowing straight into his chest and swiftly released a hidden nerve point in his body.

The body hides 12 important nerve points; cultivators called them the 12 floors.

The Qi Disciple stage training was split into 12 levels so as to clear the 12 floors. With every nerve point released, spiritual energy would be converted into mana, and the cultivator's mana capacity would increase.

At this moment, Lin Feng felt a warm current flowing through his body, directly opening up 4 nerve points within his body before it disappeared. As Lin Feng inhaled and exhaled, the energy of the world was rapidly sucked into his body, circling in the 4 released nerve points.

Every nerve point was like a constantly revolving star cluster universe. Spiritual energy was constantly being converted into Lin Feng's own mana, just like when the universe was first created, developing all life in the universe.

Lin Feng felt his entire body becoming lighter. With a single thought, the mana in his nerve points erupted like a spring, causing explosive strength to seethe in his body.

Only after a long time did Lin Feng start to gradually grow accustomed to the changes in his body. He comforted himself in his heart, "I finally have some ability to protect myself." But after thinking that the system's ultimate goal was to create history's number 1 sect and that he had to become history's number 1 founder, Ling Chen instantly felt massive pressure. He hurriedly investigated the other items of the novice gift.

"Lottery chance?" Lin Feng looked in the Super Founder System, there was also a lottery system beside the trading system. But it was in the grey inactivated state. At the moment, he didn't need to think about it.

He could only hope that the purchasing power of his 300 trading points would be high enough to actually do anything.

While thinking about it, Lin Feng entered the trading system. Previously, he was completely broke and he didn't even have the heart to look at the prices.

Carefully looking at the prices, Lin Feng secretly cursed the system. A bottle of the lowest grade qi nourishing pellet required 10 trading points, even an iron sword with a bit of spirituality was 30 points.

A set of the most basic clothing, a set of taoist clothes, required 50 points.

The most basic spells like "Fireball" and "Thunder Palm" required 100 points.

Lin Feng didn't even dare to look at the high end items with a string of zeros behind their butts, . He was afraid of he might faint.

Lin Feng stared at that pitiful 300 trading points in his "Current Trading Points" column. He shook his head, "My starting capital is too little."

Luckily, the novice gift also gave a tao technique manual and a skill, or else Lin Feng would really be at a loss.

Tao techniques were the basics of cultivation; their main purpose was to enhance one's level. On the other hand, skills included martial arts and spells which could have many different effects.

A pleasant surprise was that the level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique was very high. The current trade system didn't even have it; he had to upgrade the system in order to trade for it.

To upgrade the system, Lin Feng needed to complete a certain number of system tasks. It was still too early to think about it.

Nine Heavens Thunder Technique was one of the top lightning tao techniques of this Heaven Primal world and it had been lost for many years. The ancients who trained in this technique were big shots who could do anything they wanted.

According to the explanation, the novice gift randomly gifts a type of tao technique. Lin Feng could be considered incredibly lucky to be able to get the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique, . Even though the purchasing power of 300 trading points was limited, the feeling of depression in Lin Feng's heart was completely swept away.

With this top-level tao technique, Lin Feng would first find a place to train before emerging to wreak havoc on this world. If only he didn't have this bullsh*t main quest.

Since he had to go and take in disciples, it's a totally different story..

Lin Feng was dissatisfied but he quickly adjusted his mood and swiftly started to take action.

After calmly asking for the path towards Stone Village, he quietly left Wolf Village without alerting anybody.

Right now, the two villages were in a hostile relationship. Lin Feng who had already become a cultivator was not afraid of Wolf Village's villagers troubling him. However, he was afraid that they might reveal his identity in front of Stone Village's villagers.

Thankfully the villagers of Wolf Village were all gathered at the village entrance and talking amongst themselves because of the matter of Lang Feng's injury. Lin Feng went behind the village so that nobody would notice his movement.

As he walked along the path, Lin Feng did not hesitate and directly invested 50 trading points to buy an outfit for himself.

How could Lin Feng who came from Earth not understand the logic: "the tailor makes the man". If you wanted to sell something, you would have to do a good job in promoting and packaging.

Lowering his head and looking at his taoist outfit – a white robe with wide sleeves, a sage-like master image – Lin Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. The system's items might be expensive, but there's nothing to complain about their quality and appearance.

When Lin Feng arrived at the entrance of Stone Village, the first thing he saw was the broken half of a giant, dead tree. The tree's diameter was a whole dozen meters; its entire body was burnt black.

Lin Feng gazed at the tree and speculated that this was a lightning tree. Many years ago it was probably struck by lightning. The old tree's massive canopy and exuberant vitality were all destroyed, leaving behind a 8-9 meter tall tree stump.

Just looking at the size of the remaining tree trunk, one could imagine how massive the tree was when it was alive.

Now, the dead tree's entire body was burnt black without any hint of life.

At this moment, an old person walked over, coughing as he said, "This tree has already withered for fourteen years." The old man walked to the front of Lin Feng and started sizing him up, "I am the village chief of Stone Village, how can I help Mr Taoist?"

Lin Feng smiled faintly; his body naturally exuded a proud, unworldly aura. Pairing that with his clothing of a white robe with wide sleeves, his appearance was absolutely perfect. He definitely had the style of a master who surpassed this mundane realm.

"Discovered target. Suitable to become host's disciple."

Lin Feng was just about to speak when he heard the sudden sound of a system notification, causing him to almost choke on his spit.

The Stone Village chief looked at Lin Feng in puzzlement, but he then shivered for a moment in fright.

Lin Feng's two eyes turned green as he stared at the village entrance like a starving wolf.

At the village entrance, a cute, beautiful little boy with snow white skin was pulling on the tail of a big yellow dog. His voice was childish and crisp, "Hey, hey, don't run!"

The sound of the system rang non-stop in Lin Feng's mind, "Talent system has finished organizing. Target number 1's data is as follows."

"Body Root– 10; Comprehension – 8; Will – 8; Blessings – 8."

"Conclusion: Target's talent is extremely high, recommended to take him in as a disciple and carefully guide him; he will definitely become a pillar of the sect."

Lin Feng did not see anything else. His eyes were staring straight at that blood-red number behind body root: "10".

The max points for this talent system was 10.

The body root was the congenital talent factor of a cultivator's body. A body root of 10, what did that mean?

Here's an example, if other people running from start to finish needed to run 100 meters, under the condition of the same finishing point, this little guy's starting point was at 90 meters!

No wonder why he could beat the crap out of that Lang Feng even though he wasn't even 4 years old.

At this moment, Xiao Budian also noticed Lin Feng and he looked over with a confused face. His large, black eyes blinked, causing him to look like a cute little puppy.

Lin Feng smacked his lips. Not only did this little boy have a heaven defying body root, his comprehension, will and blessings also exceeded even the greatest geniuses.

Wasn't there too much pressure taking in this kind of guy as a disciple?

Lin Feng pondered and his face gradually revealed a warm, sunny smile.

If people familiar with Lin Feng in his previous life saw him reveal this kind of smile, they would immediately hide as far away as possible.

Usually, when Lin Feng smiled like this, someone was going to get majorly screwed!

Making up his mind Lin Feng looked towards the old elder beside him, a flawless master demeanor once again appearing.

Lin Feng cooly said: "Yesterday I was seized by a sudden impulse, suddenly sensing a person whose fate is related to mine in this mountain.Thus I came looking, but I did not think that I would meet him in this kind of little mountain village."

While speaking Lin Feng's gaze turned towards the little guy holding onto the dog's tail who still had a puzzle face, sighing in his heart: "Other people are main characters who carry old grandpas around with them, but I have to go be an old grandpa for other people."

Although, thinking of a group of OP main characters being his disciples and that in the future if there's something to do he can let these OP disciple go out and wreck everybody, Lin Feng's mood instantly became a lot better.

"This guy in front is the first."

The old elder was dazed for a moment and also looked towards the little guy: "Is the one you speak of… him?"

Lin Feng faintly nodded: "I was originally puzzled where this fated person came from, but seeing this child I now understand the story of this matter."

He let out a sigh with deep feelings, telling the story that he'd prepared beforehand.

In this story, Lin Feng once had a disciple that he was very proud of, but because he was unable to see through the demon of love in his heart he failed to pass ascension crisis and died, reincarnating.

Lin Feng has always been looking for his reincarnated disciple, hoping that he can renew their master, student relation. In the end after a long one hundred years he finally found him today.

The old elder was stupefied by his story, looking towards the little guy in disbelief: "This little guy is your disciple reincarnated?"

Lin Feng lightly nodded his head, his gaze while looking at the little guy revealing a hard to notice but just spot on feeling of care.

You've got to go all the way when putting on a show, Lin Feng did the best that he could but he was not optimistic in his heart.

Because he noticed that underneath the old chief's stunned expression there clearly hid a heavy sense of vigilance.

The old dude even had one hand behind his back lightly waving towards the little guy.

Lin Feng secretly frowned, he sensed a familiar aura fluctuation from this old guy's body.

The fluctuations of a truth cultivator's mana.

The old person of this little mountain village is actually a cultivator. Even though he's only Qi Disciple level 3, but he is a genuine cultivator.

Truth cultivators are different from martial artists, to become a truth cultivator and guide the energy of the world into one's body turning it into mana, one must train in a dao technique.

Wolf's Village's Lang Feng can be considered to have cultivation talent, but he is still just a martial artist, he cannot be considered a truth cultivator.

Before, the old village chief purposely hid his aura so Lin Feng did not notice. Now because he is wary of Lin Feng, mana fluctuations naturally rose up in his body and Lin Feng immediately noticed it.

Lin Feng secretly sighed. Even though this old man may not be a match for him, but he wants to be the master of the little guy, the old grandpa in stories, not a human trafficker. So forcibly snatching him is clearly a no-no.

Lin Feng stared at the little guy, calmly asking: "Qing Feng, do you wish to return under my wing?"

The old elder's expression did not change, but the hand behind his back was practically about to shake off.

The little guy scratched his head in confusion, looking at Lin Feng and then staring at the old chief, saying a bit sheepishly: "Eyah, my… My name isn't Qing Feng, and I don't want to leave the village."

Lin Feng was silent and did not speak, for a moment the atmosphere became stiff. The old village elder nervously stared at him, his mana fluctuation became increasingly more obvious, prepared to attack at any time.

"Okay then, you have yet to unlock your wisdom from previous incarnations and do not remember the matters of your previous life, I will not force you." Right when the old elder was almost about to break down Lin Feng let out a light sigh, finally opening his mouth saying: "But, I have foretold that the fate between you and I has not ended. In the end we will meet again after my departure today."

Lin Feng took out a purple talisman from his robe and handed it over to the little guy: "I leave this talisman with you for you to protect yourself. If you encounter danger then throw this talisman towards your enemy and it will protect you well, we will meet again when fate wills it."

Finishing speaking Lin Feng did not drag things on anymore, turning around and leaving. When he walked past the old chief his gaze casually swept across him, the corners of his lips revealing a faint smile, but he did not say anything, directly leaving.

The old elder was drenched in cold sweat. He knew that Lin Feng had already seen through him, yet he was unable to see the depths of Lin Feng's level. This made him afraid, thinking that Lin Feng's level was a lot higher than his, maybe a great cultivator of the Foundation Establishment level or even the Aurous Core level?

At ordinary times truth cultivators can hide their aura, but with any slight fluctuations it will be discovered by cultivators of the same level or higher levels.

This could be a hidden benefit of the system. According to the system explanation, as long as Lin Feng doesn't act he will be no different from a regular person in the eyes of other people. Even cultivators with a higher level than him are unable to see through him.

This is very beneficial for Lin Feng to act like he's a boss.

Leaving the sights of the old chief and the little dude Lin Feng instantly used shadow sneak technique and secretly returned to Stone Village. (TL: The actual word is just sneak, but that sounds bad so I added the word shadow…)

Even the trading system's cheapest little spells require 100 trading points. After carefully thinking Lin Feng did not choose an attack or defense spell but instead exchanged for the shadow sneak technique.

It can hide his body and as long as he doesn't do anything else he will not be revealed. In Lin Feng's opinion if this spell is used properly then its practicality is very strong.

The old chief's reaction was a bit strange and it aroused Lin Feng's suspicion.

Lin Feng silently snuck into Stone Village. The environment was pretty much the same as Wolf Village, only currently compared to Wolf Village's cloud of gloom, Stone Village was full of joy.

The center of the village is filled with all kinds of beast corpses, from the old people to the children the villagers were all smiling in happiness.

Lin Feng found the stone house of the village elder. Just entering the house he saw the little guy holding onto a little porcelain bowl, using a little wooden spoon to drink milk.

A child at the courtyard entrance yelled loudly: "Oh wow, you're drinking milk again little dot, you're already three and a half years old now!"

"Eyah!" The little guy was greatly embarrassed. He hugged onto the little bowl using his tender white arms to hide it, not letting the older child see it. His little face was flushed, his long eyelashes lightly trembling, unconfidently arguing: "You guys saw wrong, I'm… actually… drinking water."

"Haha…" A group of big kids laughed loudly.

This cute little guy also made Lin Feng let out an amused smile. Not paying attention to those laughing children he passed straight through the courtyard arriving at the side of the stone house. His ears twitched and he heard the old elder in the stone house say: "Three years have passed by in the blink of an eye, the little guy is also three and a half years of age"

The sound of an old woman rose up in the house, should be the village elder's wife: "You let the little guy reject that priest, will there be trouble? Do you think if the little guy is actually the reincarnation of the priest's disciple?"

The old village chief said pondering: "I initially thought that daoshi was a person of the Shi family helping Shi Tianyi or someone from the Yu family of Shi Tianyi's maternal grandfather come looking for the little guy to finish him off. But now it doesn't seem like it, as for disciple reincarnated…"

The old village chief hesitated for a moment: "You also know that the little guy was extraordinary at birth, he was born at Foundation Establishment level! In addition he also had the earthshaking supreme-king dao root of legends, if you want to say that he is a great cultivator reincarnated, that also seems to be plausible."

The village chief's spouse said sighing: "Too bad his supreme king dao root was actually stolen by Shi Tianyi. They are cousins from the same line, how can he be so cruel? At that time the little guy wasn't even 6 months old, he really is a poor child."

The old village chief said seriously: "All in all, I promised his father that I would definitely take good care of the little guy. In the end that daoshi's background is unknown, its best to be careful. Only you and I the two of us know of the little guy's background, we absolutely cannot leak out any information or else the little guy will be in danger."

Lin Feng who was listening outside of the house beamed with joy, this little guy, 9 out of 10 is a main character level character.

As for that Shi Tianyi that robbed his dao root, he belongs to the rival villain type.

No wonder this kid's bone root can reach the max value of 10. Natural born Foundation Establishment level, moreover it was the most top-level supreme king dao root. If this kind of talent wasn't max value then nobody could be max value.

Although his dao root has already been taken away, why is his bone root still 10?

Could it be, his dao root can regenerate? Or when after he practises a dao technique, when he ascends to Foundation Establishment level he can still forge a supreme king dao root?

While thinking Lin Feng quietly retreated out of Stone Village, arriving at the mountain path not far away from the village entrance.

Taking out 9 shining purple crystals from his pocket and arranging them on the mountain path according to a certain pattern, Lin Feng let out a sigh. Being an old grandpa for people isn't that easy either.

Out of the 300 trading points from the novice gift, Lin Feng used 50 points in exchange for a set of clothing and 100 points for a shadow sneak technique. The remaining 150 points were all invested into these purple crystals.

His gaze looking towards the direction of Wolf Village, Lin Feng brushed his nose: "If Wolf Village wants to attack Stone Village, this place here should be a must-cross path."

Finishing his preparations Lin Feng started to ponder about his next move. While he was thinking a massive rumble suddenly exploded from the depths of the mountain, like a clap of thunder exploding on the ground.

In the depths of the mountains a beam of purple light shot up into the sky, from a glance one can tell that it is an extraordinary treasure. Thinking of the birth of a mountain treasure the Wolf Village villager's mentioned, Lin Feng was dumbfounded: " This is prepared for that little guy, right? A blessing of 8, even though it's not max value it still cannot be looked down upon."

His eyes turning, a warm smile like the sun once again appeared on Lin Feng's face. He rapidly rushed towards the place that the mountain treasure appeared.

Somebody please give this guy an oscar award.

A little lesson on the pronunciations of some names, but I won't be teaching the tone of the words. Lin (Lean), Feng (Fung) Shi (Sh) Tian (Tien, think dragonball. but not so much emphasis on the Ti.) Hao (How) Xiao (Xee-ow) Bu (Boo) Dian (Dee -en) Zhu (Zhoo) Yi (Ee) Wang (Wong) Lin (Lean) Xiao (Xee-ow) Yan (Yen). Put these into google translate or something if you want to hear how they sound.

林锋,石天昊,小不点,朱易,汪林,萧焱. Interesting fact, 昊天 Hao Tian is the Chinese sovereign of gods.

Lin Feng sprinted furiously in the mountains, using his quickest speed to rush towards the location of the purple light.

That is a protruding rock on a cliff, purple light seeped out from the dark grey rock. Rhythmically flashing like the breathing of a human.

Everytime the purple light flashed it would release a thunderous sound, a deep rumbling sound.

Lin Feng scanned the surroundings, not discovering the ambush of other people.

Pretty lucky, looks like I'm the first one to get here.

Lin Feng rapidly climbed the cliff. One hand like a claw tightly grasping the rock, the other hand not using any spells, just circulating his mana and smashing his fist into the protruding rock.

The rock broke away from the cliff, falling to the bottom of the cliff. Lin Feng went down the cliff and found the rock. Even though it broke away from the cliff, the rock still flashed a purple light like it was alive, releasing bursts of thunderous sounds.

Lin Feng smashed apart the rock revealing the treasure hidden within. It is a purple crystal the size of a soccer ball, releasing roars of thunder from within.

The surface of the purple crystal is uneven, bumpy and rough, an irregular shape.

Feeling around for a bit, Lin Feng discovered that this purple crystal is still not the true body of the treasure. It's kind of like a jade stone wrapped in a layer of stone skin.

Lin Feng slowly sent his mana into the purple crystal, attempting to connect with the treasure within the crystal.

Rumble!!

Lin Feng felt himself enter into a world of lightning, looking across it was all flashing bursts of thunder and lightning.

A kind of endlessly huge fear and overbearingness.

Violent thunderclaps, the ancient punishment of the gods, fierce lightning, the scourge of the foreworld, causing the souls of all of the people facing it to tremble in fear, but still rushing forth on their own and then being completely obliterated.

A sort of crushing pressure, a true crushing pressure, being instantly crushed into pieces underneath a mountain!

Lin Feng was shocked, the dao technique Nine Heavens Thunder Technique automatically circulating. It was not resisting, not assimilating, but controlling.

I am the master of thunder, controlling the lightning of the heavens.

As if it was just an instant, but also as if a long time had passed, Lin Feng returned to his senses. Looking at the purple crystal in his hand again it had already split into two from the middle, revealing a perfectly round light golden orb in the center.

The sound of thunder and the light of flashing lightning had all already disappeared, what remained was only the fist-sized orb flashing a light-golden glow. It looks very calm but Lin Feng could sense that within the orb it was harboring incredibly terrifying thunder energy.

If all of this thunder energy exploded, it would be more than enough to turn this mountain range that Lin Feng is currently in into a massive crater.

In the trading system there is an identical item, its name is the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade and it requires a whole 2000 trading points.

According to the system's description, this item is extremely rare. It requires thousands of lightning bolts to continuously strike the same rock for there to be a one in a hundred chance of being created. It contains a monstrous amount of thunder energy essence and is a priceless artifact towards truth cultivators who practise thunder class dao techniques.

Lin Feng smiled to the point that even his eyes had become a slit, very shamelessly thinking: "My good disciple, let's just treat this as your gift to becoming my student. Don't worry, master will treat you well."

Faintly hearing voices coming from the jungle at the bottom of the mountain, Lin Feng rapidly put away the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade and looked downwards. He saw that at the two sides of the mountain there were two separate groups of people quickly rushing over.

Of the two groups, the vanguard of one of them is Xiao Budian. He looks as white and cute as a little doll, but right now he is as agile like a little beast, rapidly advancing in the deep jungle.

Before Xiao Budian never revealed anything so Lin Feng only now discovered that this not even 4 years old child actually also has a level of Qi Disciple level 2.

Lin Feng habitually scratched his nose feeling that the pressure was as big as a mountain: "That old village elder is a madman, right? Teaching such a little child to practise dao techniques."

The other group of people are the people of Wolf Village.

Lin Feng calculated the speed of both parties. Confirming that Xiao Budian and the Stone Village villagers will arrive first he took out the stone shell that remained after taking out the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade, i.e. the purple crystal that cracked into two halves and left them on the spot. He then quickly left the scene.

Even though the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade has already been taken out, but being nourished by the moon jade for so long, that purple crystal that has been split into two halves also harbors a massive amount of energy, it is also a hard to come by treasure.

The sky was overcast with dark clouds, the sound of thunder echoed. Lin Feng lifted his head looking at the sky, muttering to himself: "A storm is brewing…"

As Lin Feng predicted, Xiao Budian and co. picked up the stone shell a step earlier. Even though it was a pity that someone had beaten them to the chase towards the true treasure within the stone shell, but at least they did not return empty-handed. The group of people returned to their village in high-spirits.

On the other hand, the villagers of Wolf Village were bummed. Not only did they not get the meat, they didn't even get any of the juice, coming out empty handed. Naturally they don't know that the real treasure, the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade has fallen into the hands of Lin Feng, they just thought that Stone Village had gotten here first.

New hatred and old rancor adding together the people of Wolf Village immediately exploded, chasing after Xiao Budian and co. with red eyes.

At this time Lin Feng very "coincidentally" bumped into the people of Wolf Village. Lang Feng's grandfather Lang Liqing glanced at Lin Feng with a dark face: "What are you doing here?"

Lin Feng said with an embarrassed face: "I wanted to enter the mountains to gain some knowledge, but I ended up getting lost."

Lang Liqing impatiently waved his hand and didn't pay any more attention to Lin Feng, leading the group of people and continuing to pursue forward.

Lin Feng aware of his status followed at the back of the group. Hiding his strength he weakly walked in the mountains, looking like he could straggle from the group at any moment.

"Those two people…" Lin Feng looked like he was distressed, but he was actually closely observing the group the whole time. Very quickly he discovered two middle-aged people within the group that he'd never seen before in Wolf Village.

The attire of these two people is also very particular, different from the people in the mountains.

The lips of the two people slightly moved, yet they did not release any sounds. After a glance Lin Feng lowered his eyelids as if nothing was wrong.

These two people are actually both truth cultivators. One is Qi Disciple level 3, the other is Qi Disciple level 4 like Lin Feng.

They used their mana to encase their voices. Regular people are unable to hear the contents of their conversation but Lin Feng is able to clearly hear.

"Old Chen, when that person last appeared 3 years ago, the child was not by that person's side. Could it be that he was placed in this little mountain village at that time?"

The middle aged man that was called Old Chen pondered saying: "Calculating from the age it is just right, but Little Seven, that kid is already done for, he shouldn't be able to live until this old."

Little Seven said: "Right now we're tagging along towards Stone Village to check things out. If we confirm that it really is that child, then we'll cut him down and end things for good. Leaving him around is ultimately a problem for the young master." (TL: The young master used here is 表少爷 which if you had to translate it would be cousin young master. Cousin as in not part of the main branch family cousin. Only children of the main branch family can be called just young master by the servants/people/workers/etc. of the family. I think at least…)

Old Chen thought for a bit and then nodded his head: "We can't directly do it ourselves or else if we leave a trace, there are Shi family people that pity that child, they might trouble us. Even though the family would love for that little baby to die, they will not necessarily support us, instead handing us over as scapegoats."

Little Seven glanced at Lang Liqing with an insidious laugh: "There's nothing to worry about, isn't in front the best scapegoat?"

Finishing speaking the two people both started laughing: "Being able to take the blame for the Yu family, it can be considered their good fortune."

Lin Feng secretly sighed. The Stone Village village elder kept his oath and worked hard to hide Xiao Budian's information, but he didn't know that Xiao Budian's whereabout has already been pretty much exposed.

Although, these two people really came at just the perfect time. Staring at the backs of the two people the smile on Lin Feng's face became increasingly brilliant.

There is also a science to picking supporting roles. Before Lin Feng was still worried that the opponent's strength was too weak. Stone Village has the old elder and Xiao Budian these two truth cultivators, with just these mundane martial artists of Wolf Village, going would just be giving experience points to Xiao Budian.

Of course, the opponent's strength being too high is an even bigger no no. Firstly, it's hard to guarantee Xiao Budian's well being. Secondly, Lin Feng is also just a level of Qi Disciple level 4, if he made an opponent that he also can't deal with then that would become a joke.

Like these two Yu family truth cultivators, they are just perfect.

On his side he was spacing out in his thoughts, the little fatty beside him huffed in anger: "Keep your eyes open when we get there, don't cause trouble for us or I'll gut you!"

Lin Feng grinned, not saying anything. Right now he was quietly waiting for the show to start.

Wolf Village's people quickly caught up to Xiao Budian and co. and both sides engaged in a fierce battle. Wolf Village has a large number of people and mountain people are all very fierce, but they couldn't stand up to the old elder and Xiao Budian these two truth cultivators.

Especially Xiao Budian, even though he is not experienced enough and is not brutal enough when attacking, but his strength is more than enough to crush these mundane martial artists. Like the little cub of an ancient beast, utterly wrecking the people of Wolf Village.

Before the two sides had even crossed blows Lin Feng had already turned around and run out of sight like a frightened rabbit, causing the little fatty to curse in anger: "Pussy cat!"

Lin Feng laughed in his heart. Of course he had to run away early, or else if he lets Xiao Budian and them see him together with Wolf Village's people would that be proper?

Finding a hidden place Lin Feng's gaze tightly locked onto those two Yu family cultivators. He saw that middle-aged man called Old Chen unhurriedly take out a bone flute and start playing it. The flute's sound was not at all pleasant, hoarse and shrill like utterly dreary cries and screams.

The next moment a large number of beasts sprang out from the forest. Iron mail elephants like the size of small mountains, black unicorn tigers with a horn on their heads, blaze bears with a body of fiery red fur…

Every single beast was ten of hundreds of times more aggressive than regular wild beasts. Requiring the bravest, most seasoned hunters to form groups and set up traps to dare to go hunt them. Even like this they could still pay the price of their lives, and even fail the hunt.

And right now there are dozens of such savage beasts, surrounding Xiao Budian and them from all directions, rushing over like a tidal wave.

Against the beast tide even the old elder and Xiao Budian have no ways of dealing with it. Only able to do their best to protect the villagers and retreat. Even like this there are still multiple people that were pounced down by the beasts and killed.

Dark clouds covered the sky and wild wind howled. On the ground the cries of battle shook the heavens and blood flowed like rivers.

The situation turned for the worse in an instant, even Lin Feng was a bit taken by surprise. Only able to follow them from far away and pray in his heart: "Run fast, here is not enough. Go forward a bit more, draw them forward a bit more."

Stone Village villagers were constantly being killed by the savage beasts. Xiao Budian watched red eyed in anxiety, he could only ensure himself not being hurt by the beasts. Even if he can save a fellow villager there will also instantly be even more people falling into danger.

The old elder stomped his feet, throwing a leather like item towards Xiao Budian. The old man himself also pulled out a little drum.

"Magic items? Moreover it's two!" Lin Feng's eyes slightly brightened.

With the two magic items left behind by Xiao Budian's father, the old elder and Xiao Budian finally brought the villagers and fought their way out, escaping towards Stone Village.

Seeing their target about to flee, the two Yu family cultivators looked at each other and in the end still couldn't hold back striking out.

Right now they were only not even a mile away from Stone Village. But just these couple hundred meters became a chasm that Xiao Budian and co. are unable to cross over.

The moment those two truth cultivators struck out the old elder immediately discovered something wrong: "Who are you people?"

The middle-aged person called Old Chen coldly said: "Dead people don't need to know."

The old elder said in fury: "Are you guys sent by the Shi family or the Yu family? Actually being so venomous as to plot against a little child and now you guys won't even let him live!"

That cultivator called Little Seven loudly laughed: "It is the young master of our house that is a natural born sovereign. This little twerp, being able to contribute towards our young master is his good fortune. Right now I will send him to reincarnate, I believe that he'll be able to get a nice life!"

Xiao Budian felt confused towards their conversation, but this did not hinder his judgement: "Eyah, you guys aren't good people." Finishing speaking he fought against Litte Seven. He has a magic item, fighting Qi Disciple level 3 Little Seven with his Qi Disciple level 2 he is not at a disadvantage.

But he is unable to hold up against Little Seven's insidious mind. While fighting against Xiao Budian he occasionally ambushes the villagers of Stone Village, the numerous beasts at the side and Wolf Village's villagers also surrounded them and attacked, the people of Stone Village were in a critical situation.

Xiao Budian wanted to save people but he was entangled by Little Seven, causing his face to turn completely red from anxiety, almost about to cry out.

Lin Feng hid at one side, saying in his heart: "Now's the time! Good disciple, hurry up and use the trump card that I gave you, you silly boy don't tell me that you've forgotten about it?"

Not sure if it's because he sensed Lin Feng's reminder, Xiao Budian who was at the end of his wits finally remembered the talisman that Lin Feng left for him, taking out the talisman and smashing it over to Little Seven right in his face!

Little Seven was slightly shocked, afterwards he discovered that there seemed to be nothing special about the talisman. Casually pinching the talisman with a grab, he said mockingly: "In the end he's a little brat…" Before he could finish speaking a change suddenly occurred to the talisman in his hand.

Around him nine points of light simultaneously lit up, lighting up his dumbfounded face.

Report chapter

Say, does anyone here play clicker heroes? How many times did you ascend before you could buy Dread Knight? I've already ascended about 15 times and I'm still not close.

Xiao Budian took out that talisman Lin Feng gave him, directly smashing it towards Little Seven.

Lin Feng who was hiding at the side silently laughed: "Excellent!"

He formed a spell sign with his hands, silently incanting in his heart: "Move!" Under the control of his mind, the mana that he left in the talisman started to rapidly circulate.

The nine thunder energy crystals that he hid here earlier were also activated at this moment, releasing powerful energy waves.

"Sizzle, crackle!" The air filled with the sound of jarring electrical currents, arcs of bluish violet lightning constantly jumped around.

Before Little Seven could react the nine thunder energy crystals simultaneously shot out 9 beams of lightning!

And the talisman in his hand was like a conductor, drawing the 9 arcs of lightning to shoot over towards him, instantly destroying his mana protection barrier.

"Ah!!!"

Accompanied by screaming 9 lightning snakes wrapped around Little Seven's body and wildly raged in his body.

Old Chen was aghast, promptly ditching the old elder and rushing over. His palms fiercely separating and then coming together, wildly surging mana pouring into Little Seven's body attempting to dispel the lightning.

Towards Old Chen's action Lin Feng treated it like nothing, lifting his head looking towards the overcast sky with rolling thunder: "Today is good weather."

He shrugged his shoulders: "You think my Nine Heavens Thunder Summoning is that simple?"

Lin Feng changed the spell sign of his hands: "Attract!"

Following the change of Lin Feng's spell sign, the lightning wrapped around Little Seven's body suddenly started to jump uniformly, filled with a strange tempo and rhythm.

The next moment, a terrifying lightningbolt the thickness of a bucket descended from the clouds in the sky, its target was exactly Old Chen and Little Seven on the ground who were surrounded by lightning.

This is the true mortal blow of Lin Feng's Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning ability.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable Old Chen did not dare to bother with his partner anymore, hurriedly dodging towards the side.

"NOOOOO!"

Little Seven looked in despair as the lightning bolt like doomsday divine punishment struck him straight on in the head, he didn't even have the chance to officially reveal his identity.

Xiao Budian and the Old Elder stared in shock at that lightning bolt that lit up the sky ripping through the air. They never could have imagined that the talisman that Lin Feng seemingly casually gave Xiao Budai actually held such power.

The villagers of Wolf Villager and Stone Village were especially dumbfounded, thinking it was the epiphany of the thunder god.

Everything was just in the blink of an eye.

The lightning fell to the ground with a crash, the violent flash blinded the eyes of all of the people causing them to see a white blur.

When after they recovered their sight, they hastily looked towards Little Seven's position. On the spot there was only a section of char.

A truth cultivator, was completely obliterated by a bolt of lightning.

After a moment everyone finally returned to their senses. Wolf Village's villagers immediately exploded, running away in all directions without even turning their heads, not a single person dared to remain on the spot to trouble Xiao Budian and co. The savage beasts drawn over by Old Chen's bone flute were also scared shitless, all of them tucking their tails between their legs and running away.

The people of Stone Village all let out bursts of cheers. The old elder reacted, heavily stomping his feet: "Kill, don't let a single one of the Wolf Village people here today live!" The morale of Stone Village's villagers ran high, chasing after them together.

Old Chen was dazed for a moment and then roared hoarsely: "We are Yu family's people. You hillbillies dare to kill our Yu family's people, are you guys not afraid of your entire village being razed to the ground?"

The novice gift once again brought a pleasant surprise towards Lin Feng. He stared at the lightning struck charred ground, silent for a while and then letting out a long sigh of relief after a long time: "Fortunately, even though there are too many limitations to using it and it is too troublesome, the power in the end is not disappointing."

Lin Feng brushed his nose. With this Nine Heaven's Thunder Summoning as the groundwork, when he makes his appearance again convincing the old elder and Xiao Budian will be a lot easier. After all in their eyes, I created such a large commotion using just a tiny little talisman alone.

If you were to have Lin Feng himself fight head on with Old Chen and Little Seven he would also be able to win. After all the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique he practises is far superior to the ragtag dao techniques those two people practise.

But he would definitely not be able to create such an amazing result. With that his master sage disguise would be seen through.

How could he be like right now. One hit insta-kill, easy and relaxing, waving his sleeves and not bringing away a wisp of cloud.

Towards Old Chen who still remained Lin Feng did not pay him any heed. This person may have avoided the heart of the lightning strike, but he is already heavily injured after being hit by the waves of the attack. The old elder and Xiao Budian are enough to take care of him.

Right now Lin Feng prepared to silently slip into the elder's house yard and leisurely sit there waiting for the old elder and Xiao Budian to return. It would especially be able to display his ability to predict future events and poised character and demeanor.

At that time would he still need to be afraid of that little guy not lowering his head and bowing?

Oh right, when the mountain treasure appeared he changed out of his taoist robes for convenience of traveling in the forest. Right now he is wearing a set of rough cloth clothes and looks the same as a regular mountain villager, he needs to remember to first change back.

"My first disciple is at hand." Lin Feng thought elated. turning around and walking towards the village entrance. When he lifted his head, the smile on his face instantly froze, slowly disappearing.

Because he clearly saw that on that old withered charred tree at the village entrance that should originally be completely dead, actually grew out a new branch!

The few pink peach blossoms on that young branch were bright and fresh, swaying and flickering.

Lin Feng swore, when he just came to Stone Village half a day ago, this old tree definitely did not have this branch of bright peach blossoms.

What made the heart's of people beat even faster was that these peach blossoms looked incredibly beautiful, but they faintly revealed a demonic aura.

"So much food after just waking up…"

Lin Feng's mind slightly blanked. He seemed to hear the low, hoarse voice of a woman slowly speaking in his mind, her tone was joyful and beautiful, yet it made people shudder in fear!

Shivering Lin Feng returned to his senses. Looking around he saw Old Chen's expression also drastically change, looking around in a panic.

And everyone else seemed to be completely oblivious, still continuing to fight.

Lin Feng turned his head in shock, seeing the petals of those vibrant peach blossoms on that new branch actually floating down, flying over to the battlefield one-mile away.

Light, delicate flower petals, they look soft and weak but their flying speed is fast as lightning. Hundreds of flower petals like meteors from outside of the heavens flying into the crowd swaying in a profound orbit.

Old Chen wanted to escape, but how could he be faster than these strange peach blossoms?

He set his heart, slamming his palm over. The flower petal that looked weak and unendurable directly pierced through Old Chen's palm, going and sticking to his forehead.

Lin Feng widened his eyes, seeing Old Chen's face reveal a horror stricken expression, opening his mouth wide wanting to yell but unable to emit any noises.

Old Chen's blood, body and skin all rapidly shriveled up at a visible speed, in the end he directly turned into a mummy!

The peach blossom petal on the mummy's forehead became increasingly vibrant and beautiful.

Lin Feng's heart directly sank to the bottom. His gaze wandered looking around, all of the people or beasts that these flower petals attached to were all sucked dry within a short period of time.

Lan Liqing who clamoured about killing Xiao Budian, the little fatty who didn't mix well with Lin Feng… People that he had still talked to before, right now their eyes have all lost the light of life, making Lin Feng have goosebumps all over his body looking.

The next moment, the flower petals all detached from their prey that they had already sucked dry, drawing traces of pink arcs in the night sky, flying back to the old tree.

The peach blossoms landed back on the tree branch, beautiful and dazzling, breath-taking horror.

Lin Feng stared at the old tree, sure enough on the charred trunk two more new branches grew out again!

The peach blossoms on the three new branches gently sway in the night air, looking so delicate and attractive. The flower fragrance floated over with the wind, making people feel refreshed.

Yet Lin Feng cursed in his heart: "Fuck, there's definitely something goddamn wrong with this tree!"

He carefully observed for a moment, discovering that besides Old Chen, the people that were sucked dry were all Wolf Village's Villagers. None of the savage beasts were spared either, although Stone Village's villagers were not attacked.

The old elder and the people of Stone Village all blankly stared at the scene in front. Suddenly there was a villager who knelt on the ground, prostrating to the old tree at the village entrance and muttering: "Praise the Peach Celestial! Praise the Peach Celestial!"

More and more people thought that the old tree at the entrance of the village was the theophany of the Peach Celestial, helping them kill their enemies and so they all knelt on their knees and worshipped.

Xiao Budian looked in confusion at everybody, scratching his head with a puzzled face.

The old elder looked at the old tree with a complicated expression, biting his lips.

Lin Feng who did not show his face the entire time was expressionless, his heart feeling cold. Beside his ears he seemed to hear the long echo of a low, hoarse female voice: "I'll stop here for today and let the rest go for now…"

This old tree doesn't differentiate between friend or foe at all, all people in her eyes are the same, they are all food!

The difference is only that she is guarding at Stone Village's entrance and she is simply not afraid of Stone Village's people running away.

Maybe also adding a slight biological instinct of rabbits don't eat the grass by their burrows. (TL: Apparently this saying means something like not putting one's hand on the people around you or not doing bad things on your own turf.)

Lin Feng thought trying to cheer himself up, his mood completely unable to relax. Looking at the situation of the old tree that just struck out, casually killing over a hundred targets in a instant, of them even includes Old Chen this kind of truth cultivator.

Even if Old Chen was hurt, her attacks were still too relaxing. Just one petal out of hundreds of flower petals already insta-killed Old Chen. For her, Qi Disciple level 4 truth cultivators are no different at all from the mundane martial artists.

Lin Feng has never hesitated before to plan for the worst. According to his speculation, this old tree demon's strength has probably already surpassed the Qi Disciple stage.

It's at the very least Foundation Establishment.

Lin Feng brushed his nose. Finally found a suitable disciple candidate but it is beset with difficulties.

A person chosen by the heavens, a main character level character, do they all have so many problems surrounding them?

While thinking the system notification sound suddenly rose up in his mind.

"System has operated for one full month, lottery system officially opened!"

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

Yahallo my homies. That's right, going back to my roots. Bet you never expected to see those words in a sentence. I got this done so I figured I'd just post it now. The cleaning is complete and the house is now as clean as it'll ever be until we decide to go all in on cleaning the house…

"System has operated for one full month, lottery system officially opened!"

Hearing the system notification sound Lin Feng first blanked for a moment and then had an impulse to cover his face in tears.

He'd already almost forgotten that there was still a lottery system and that the novice gift had even given a lottery chance.

Lin Feng looked back glancing at the old peach tree at the village entrance. Stone Village's villagers had already gradually started to return to the village. Looking at Xiao Budian amongst the crowd Lin Feng silently prayed: "Good disciple since you're a main character level character. you shouldn't die that easily, right? Hold on for a bit, master will come back quickly to save you."

First distancing himself from the old peach tree, Lin Feng then eagerly checked out the lottery system.

Entering the lottery system, three images appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

A die, a wheel, and one more which is misty and cannot be clearly seen, like a cloud of fog.

Lin Feng tried a bit, that cloud of misty fog cannot be chosen. Maybe it's that the system still hasn't opened it yet.

As for the wheel and the die, they are two different lottery methods. The spinning wheel is like the slot machines or the turntable used in gambling in Lin Feng's previous life. A circle of completely different images, representing different items. If Lin Feng spins that wheel, then whatever it lands on is what he gets.

Lin Feng took a look. The wheel has a total of 18 slots, of them 16 have items and two are empty.

16 items, three types of dao technique manuals, three types of elixirs and panaceas, three pieces of magic items, 3 sheets of talismans, three types of abilities, and one that is a mysterious box with a question mark.

The level of the three types of dao techniques on the wheel are all inferior to the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique, they have no appeal to Lin Feng.

The medicines are also just some regular stuff, at the least they can't make Lin Feng's level soar, reaching the point that he can fight Foundation Establishment level opponents.

Magic items, talismans, abilities… Lin Feng looked around, there was also nothing that could help him take care of that old peach tree.

Lin Feng left the wheel lottery system, and then went into the dice lottery system.

Three dice quietly lay on top of a light disk. The edges of the light disc are also surrounded by a circle of images. Different from the wheel is that each image has been labelled with a number, from 1 to 18.

There are a total of 16 images, the numbers 12 and 14 are empty.

Lin Feng already understood that this wants him to roll dice. The number obtained after adding up the numbers of the 3 thrown out dice will decide what he gains.

If added up it is a 12 or a 14, then he could only return empty-handed.

Same with the wheel system, the dice system also has 16 items. They are also dao techniques, medicines, magic items, talismans, and abilities, three of each, in addition to a mysterious chest with a question mark.

The 16 items waiting to be chosen should be randomly chosen every lottery chance. The wheel system and the dice system are relatively independent.

Lin Feng stared at the items of the dice system looking down, when he saw the magic item corresponding to number 13, the Dark Thunder Sky Piercing Awl, his eyes instantly lit up.

This Dark Thunder Sky Piercing Awl is actually a Foundation Establishment level magic item.

In the Heaven Primal great world, only great Primordial Spirit cultivators can create magic treasures. Items created by cultivators below Primordial Spirit are all magic items. Based on the creator's level, they are split as Nascent Soul level magic items, Aurous Core level magic items, Foundation Establishment level magic items and Qi Disciple level magic items.

The 3 magic items from the wheel system and the other two from the dice system are all Qi Disciple level magic items.

For Lin Feng how is currently only Qi Disciple level 4 they are of course also suitable for him. But wanting to rely on them to go and face the Foundation Establishment level old peach tree is completely nonsense.

As for the Dark Thunder Sky Piercing Awl this Foundation Establishment level magic item it is a different story. For Qi Disciple level cultivators it is already a nearly god-like existence. Letting Lin Feng also have the strength to fight against the old peach tree.

The chest with a question mark should be a special prize, giving an unknown item, but it could also be very bullshit.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, muttering in his heart: "Dark Thunder Sky Piercing Awl, Dark Thunder Sky Piercing Awl… 13, 13!"

Focusing for a long time, Lin Feng confirmed starting the lottery.

"Go!"

3 dice spun together on the light disk. Very soon one of the dice stopped, a big 6.

Lin Feng nervously stared at the remaining two dice, secretly cursing the system as wicked in his heart. The three dice actually don't stop together, purposely hanging one's appetite.

The second dice also stopped very soon.

5.

Lin Feng slightly relaxed in his heart, and then tightened again.

The first two dice were 6 plus 5, 11 points. This means that Lin Feng does have a chance to get the 13 point Dark Thunder Sky Piercing Awl.

But likewise, he could also get the empty spaces at 12 and 14.

"2! 2! 2!"

Lin Feng felt like his entire self became silly, holding his breath and not even daring to take a big breath, closely staring at the last die. (TL: 2, er, is also a way of saying stupid, silly, foolish, etc. I don't know if this is internet slang or not.)

While his mind was highly focused, Lin Feng felt even the movement of the die become slow.

The force of the strength of the die became increasingly smaller, gradually showing traces of stopping.

Lin Feng was entirely red from holding his breath, seeing the die land on the light disk, the side facing up was terribly a "6"!

"No, move a bit, move a bit again!" Lin Feng anxiously cried in his heart.

656, 17. What it corresponds to is a bottle of the most regular Energy Gathering Pellet. For Lin Feng at the moment it doesn't do shit.

Seemingly hearing Lin Feng's thoughts, the die really jumped again.

"2", this time the side facing upwards is exactly the "2" that Lin Feng wished for.

Lin Feng's face just revealed a smile, and then it abruptly froze.

Under his gaze the die still did not completely settle, lightly rolling a bit and revealing a bright red dot!

65… 1, 12…

Fuck!

12, there's nothing…

Right when Lin Feng's mood fell to the bottom from the clouds, the die shook, flipping to the side one last time. The number turning from a 1 into a 4.

This time it was completely settled, the number of the third die is 4.

Lin Feng blinked his eyes, looking towards the item corresponding to 15.

A mysterious chest with a question mark quietly lay there.

Lin Feng opened the mysterious chest a bit hesitantly, a light golden sword with the scabbard appeared in his vision. Even though the sword has yet to be pulled out of the scabbard, Lin Feng could clearly feel the terrifying power within.

The Northern Aurora Sword, a Foundation Establishment level magic item.

A pair with another Foundation Establishment magic item the Southern Aurora Sword, when the two swords combine one can gain an Aurous Core level magic item the Polar Magnetic Dao Sword.

Lin Feng stared at the Northern Aurora Sword and let out a long breath after a long time, his entire body actually had a feeling of exhaustion.

Both being Foundation Establishment magic items, the Northern Aurora Sword's power is a level higher than the Dark Thunder Sky Piercing Awl's.

Getting out of the system, Lin Feng's consciousness had already returned to his body. Staring at the longsword in his hand emitting a faint lightning glow and magnetic force, Lin Feng grinned and laughed. Pulling the sword out of the scabbard, a bright lightning flash appeared with a casual point, blowing up a far-away rock.

"The first lottery chance, my luck's not bad." Lin Feng put away the Northern Aurora Sword, the wild joy in his heart gradually calming down. His mind once again calmly thinking: "Even though I've gained a Foundation Establishment level magic item, my own level is still just Qi Disciple level 4, I actually can't completely exert all of the magic item's strength.

Lin Feng's started to calculate the current cards in his hands.

Nine Heavens Thunder Summoning has impressive power, but it's usage conditions are too stringent. It's suitable for ambushing and not head-on fighting, moreover using it once requires the consumption of 10 thunder crystals. Lin Feng currently also doesn't have any extra points to exchange for crystals.

The Northern Aurora Sword is powerful, but Lin Feng's current level is unable to exert all of its power.

The old peach tree could very likely be a solid Foundation Establishment level. Relying on the magic item of which he can only exert a portion of its strength, Lin Feng can only be said to have the strength to fight it. If they really fought, he probably still wouldn't be the old peach tree's opponent.

Unfortunately his time is limited, nobody knows when the old peach tree will strike out again. She is guarding right at Stone Village's entrance and is too big of a threat towards Xiao Budian and co. But unluckily besides Lin Feng nobody else has realized her danger.

The majority of people even treat the old peach tree as the village's protector. If Lin Feng runs over to warn them, he will instead be seen hostily.

"Those two Yu family truth cultivators were wandering around in these deep mountains looking for Xiao Budian's location. They should also have companions and superiors. Maybe there's a Foundation Establishment expert amongst them." Lin Feng pondered in his heart: "If I can draw over Yu family's experts and have both sides get hurt in a fight with the old peach tree, then there will be a turning point for the situation."

"But who knows when I'll be able to find them, the time might not be enough."

Lin Feng was in the middle of thinking when he sensed something. A powerful mana fluctuation travelled over from far away, somebody was approaching this side at a very rapid speed.

Voices of people talking faintly travelled into his ears.

"Shimei, you should have decided long ago to go to that Xiao family to break the engagement." (TL: Shimei, 师妹, the name for a female student of younger seniority in an apprenticeship/school/sect/etc. Doesn't have to be same master or even the same school. There's also shi, 师, which means master, but in this case it means school, and then family member name based on seniority. So shimei is like younger school sister… I mean, if you guys want I can put it like that, but I'd much rather not. I guess I could also just say, junior/senior, but it loses a bit of the meaning/doesn't sound right.)

"Now isn't too late either."

Just finishing speaking, three white-clothed people carrying a sword on their backs had already appered in front of Lin Feng.

Of the three people there is an old person. The old person is wreathed in smiles and brimming with energy and vitality. A pair of slightly small eyes but a sharp light occasionally flashed across his eyes.

Yet, it is exactly this kind of old person that looks ordinary and plain, whose entire body is releasing a powerful mana fluctuation as deep as the sea.

The characteristical mana fluctuation of Foundation Establishment level truth cultivators.

In regards to the first true Foundation Establishment cultivator that he's seen after coming to this world, Lin Feng did not have the time to pay attention to him.

Right now his entire attention is all focused on that girl by the old person's side.

Lin Feng's face revealed a warm smile like the sunlight, numerous thoughts flashing across in his heart.

"Breaking off an engagement? If I didn't hear wrong, the topic they were just talking about, is the legendary marriage annulment?" (TL: He's saying how in a lot of Chinese novels, something bad, such as breaking off an engagement which I guess is common enough, happens to the MC at the beginning which causes the MC to want to get stronger and eventually end up ruling the universe…)

Celeritas is apparently the latin word for speed and is what the "c" for the constant of the speed of light stands for. The name of the sword sect here translates to something like flowing light or the quick passage of time so yeah. Oh, and you guys have probably already noticed that the grammar here is considerably worse. Yeah, I have difficulties translating this but I'm working things out.

The young girl's facial features are very outstanding and incredibly elegant, her entire body exudes a refined, cold and beautiful extraordinary aura.

On her tender ears there hangs green coloured jade pendants, while they shook they released a crisp jade ring, unexpectedly displaying a hint of delicacy…

From appearances Lin Feng looked like a simple young boy being taken away by the young girl's beauty, slightly lowering his head in shame.

Actually he just doesn't want people to see that his two eyes are both glowing.

Marriage annulment, this is the legendary marriage annulment that created countless overpowered people!

Beside the girl is a teenager with the same white robed clothing as her. He has a tall body and his face is handsome, the mana fluctuations circling around his body show that he possesses Qi Disciple level 10 strength.

The white-robed teen swept Lin Feng with his gaze and then did not look at him anymore, turning his eyes towards the rock that had been destroyed by Lin Feng using the Norther Aurora Sword and wrinkling his forehead: "We already rushed over as soon as possible, logically speaking the person shouldn't have been able to leave on time."

The girl shook her head: "If the person's gone then that's that."

The white-robed youth suddenly used his mana to wrap his voice, speaking to the girl: "Yanran-shimei, they say that Xiao Yan is also a cultivating genius, only afterwards for some unknown reason he fell over becoming a piece of trash now?"

Murong Yanran was a bit unhappy, her eyebrows slightly wrinkling: "There's an outsider here, let's stop talking about this." (TL: Mu (Moo) Rong (Roe-ng, yeah I don't know what to put for that.), Yan (Yen), Ran (Ran). 慕容嫣然 click for google translate and press the speaker button for pronunciation.)

The white-robed youth lightly smiled: "It's just a country boy, I'm using mana sound transmission, how could he possibly hear?"

Lin Feng stood on the spot unmoving blinking his eyes. He didn't have the time to change into those taoist clothes and is still wearing a body of rough cloth clothes, he does indeed look like a mountain villager.

Hearing his words Murong Yanran shook her head: "Regardless if he is a genius or a loser I still have to go break off this engagement. Even grandfather cannot force me to marry a person that I've never seen before."

Lin Feng's expression became increasingly simple and honest, but his heart was already bursting with joy: "Awesome job woman! Just like this, not being moved by the outside world, steadfastly go and break off the marriage, I've got high hopes for you!"

Once a genius, now a loser, also a fiance coming over to break off the marriage and humiliate him… Holy crap, this is definitely xuanhuan main character level treatment.

Right now Lin Feng wanted to go look for that Xiao Yan right away. He's finally understood, the system's demands for disciples is absurdly high, probably only those legendary people blessed by the world, story protagonist level characters can enter its eyes.

Even though right now he is unable to prove it, but deducing from Xiao Budian, Lin Feng is 80% confident that Xiao Yan should match the system's standards for approving disciples.

"Wait a sec, this kind of main character level OP little monster…"

Lin Feng suddenly thought, following Murong Yanran going over to break off the engagement, that Xiao Yan who is seemingly incredibly unlucky right now, he should most likely explode his inner cosmos after the marriage annulment.

Even though Lin Feng doesn't know whether he is carrying an old grandpa around with him, or picked up a super god item outside, or maybe found a godly manual from the crappy books in his parents' belongings…

Anyhow, as soon as Murong Yanren arrives and breaks off the engagement and Xiao Yan ignites his fighting spirit, it should then be time for him to turn things around.

Fish of the pond the golden carp they are not, dragons they do become when encounter they do a storm.

Only requiring a tiny little opportunity to help Xiao Yan get on the right track, using an old saying is having the wheels of fate start turning, and that kid will immediately become an unstoppable beast.

Lin Feng didn't plan to change the final result of Xiao Yan becoming a beast, he just wants to change the process of him become a beast, making himself become that storm that spurs Xiao Yan to change from a golden carp to a dragon.

In other words, going to be the old grandpa for Xiao Yan.

But at the moment Xiao Budian's matter still hasn't been solved, Lin Feng can't leave.

If I allow Murong Yanran to go break off the marriage right now and in the end let Xiao Yan call out a different old grandpa, then won't it be none of my business anymore?

This marriage has to be cancelled, but it definitely can't be now.

Thinking here, a thought appeared in his mind, a warm smile like the sun naturally appeared on his face.

The white-robed youth smiled saying: "If we can't find the source of the mana fluctuation just now then forget it. We should rush over to the Xiao family in Wuzhou City as fast as possible, it's still a long journey from here to Wuzhou City.

The white-robe old man that hadn't spoken the entire time opened his mouth at this time saying: "Yanran, your talent is outstanding and your future cannot be measured. You are a core disciple of the Celeritas Sword Sect, you cannot waste time on a mundane human. But going over and breaking off a marriage is after all a disrespectful affair, remember to give that Xiao Yan some compensation."

Murong Yanran and the white-robed youth nodded their heads saying: "In compliance with Elder Ye's teachings."

The white-robed old man Ye Ge nodded his head in satisfaction and then prepared to carry the two juniors on their journey, from beginning to end he treated Lin Feng like empty air.

Under the effect of the system, even Ye Ge who is at the Foundation Establishment level also did not see that Lin Feng is a cultivator.

At this time Lin Feng went over on his own, looking at the three people slightly in fear: "Three… These three masters, are you guys legendary sword celestials?" His expression was a just perfect 70% admiration and worship and 30% fear and timidness.

Murong Yanran slightly frowned, she did not speak.

The white-robed youth's face revealed a haughty expression, lightly nodding his head: "What do you want?"

Lin Feng's face revealed an expression of great joy, hurriedly saying: "In the village that I live in a demon has appeared. Please help us get rid of it, our entire village's people will all be extremely grateful, please save us!"

The white-robed revealed a dismissive expression. Deserted wild mountains have lots of legends of demons and spirits, it cannot be taken seriously.

Lin Feng continued saying: "I saw it myself, the old peach tree that had originally been turn into charcoal by lightning suddenly grew out new branches and even blossomed beautiful peach blossoms…"

The white-robed youth waved his hands cutting him off: "Being rejuvenated during the spring isn't really a rare thing."

Lin Feng repeatedly nodded his head: "Right, right, you are correct, but those peach blossoms will kill people, they killed a lot of people!"

Murong Yanran and the white-robed youth looked at each other, finally becoming interested: "Tell me, how did the peach blossoms kill a lot of people?"

Lin Feng hurriedly explained the course of how the peach blossoms flew down from the tree sticking on the foreheads of people and then how the flower petals flew back to the tree after sucking people dry.

The white-robed youth's eyebrows lifted up high. Hearing what Lin Feng described it does indeed seem like a peach tree becoming a demon and causing trouble. Being able to use flying flowers to kill people, this old peach tree has clearly already gained intelligence and grasped its own gifts and abilities.

This kind of demon has usually already formed a demon core, having value to kill it.

Murong Yanran's eyebrows wrinkled, looking towards the white-robed elder Ye Ge: "Elder Ye, let's just go, or else that tree demon could still kill even more people."

Ye Ge stroked his long beard, and then consulted Lin Feng in detail about the general course of how the old peach tree killed people, patiently confirming every detail.

With a simple and honest face, Lin Feng patiently answered each of Ye Ge's questions.

He wasn't afraid of Ye Ge questioning because everything he said was true.

It's just he left out a little tiny detail.

Lin Feng did not tell them that for the old peach tree, killing a Qi Disciple level 4 truth cultivator is also the same as killing an ant.

Ye Ge specially repeatedly asked about certain problems. After confirming that there were no mistakes to Lin Feng's responses, he finally nodded his head: "In the first place destroying evil and protecting justice is the duty of we Celeritas Sword Sect's cultivators. Encountering this tree demon today causing trouble we cannot leave it alone. Young man, lead the way."

Lin Feng's face was rejoiceful, profusely thanking them, in his heart he silently laughed: "Excellent!"

You three could not have come at a better time, just on time to help me go save my eldest disciple.

As the adversaries of my future second disciple, if I don't screw you guys over then who would I?

Yeah, my siblings came back from vacation yesterday so yeah. Anyways, here's the chapter. Remember to leave a comment in the comment section below, Seriously, I need comments, the thirst is real.

Lin Feng led Murong Yanran and the other two arriving outside of Stone Village, the area of battle before had not been cleaned up yet, the ground was littered with dried corpses and it was as terrifying as hell on earth.

It's not just Murong Yanran who nearly dry heaved when seeing this miserable scene, Ye Ge and the white-robed youth also had a big frown on their faces and felt nauseous.

The strong contrast of the charred withered tree trunk of the old peach tree at the village entrance matched with the charming peach blossoms entering the eyes made people feel a wave of uncomfortableness.

In this living hell like environment, the more exuberant the peach blossoms were the more eerier they appeared.

Lin Feng was just about to speak when a disturbance suddenly rose up in Stone Village. The swearing of adults and the crying of children mixed together, everybody ran towards the outside of the village from different directions. all of them keeping away from the old peach tree at the village entrance.

Lin Feng focused his eyes looking over, seeing that in the village, brilliant red peach blossom petals were flying in the air, chasing behind the villagers.

People that the flower petals attached to immediately had their vital essence sucked clean, turning into dried corpses.

Seeing in the crowd Xiao Budian who was protecting other people and running away with everybody, Lin Feng let out a long sigh of relief, calling out lucky in his heart.

Fortunately he encountered Murong Yanran and co., or else with the old peach tree striking out this quickly he really wouldn't have had any way to deal with the demon.

Against the peach blossoms chasing outside of the village, with a loud yell Lin Feng held his head and ran away, seemingly receiving a great fright.

Murong Yanran and the white-robed youth stared at the back of Lin Feng's figure that had already run far away, releasing a cold snort in unison: "Coward."

Lin Feng didn't know that his actions were in the middle of being looked down upon by people, even if he knew he also wouldn't care.

Of course he has to run, if he lets Xiao Budian and the village elder see him like this then how would he continue to act like a peerless master?

On the other hand, Lin Feng also needs to leave the sights of the three people from the Celeritas Sword Sect as quick as possible to make preparations for himself striking out.

Regardless of who wins and loses Lin Feng will still make a move.

If the old peach tree wins Lin Feng naturally would not be happy, Right now it's not just the safety of Xiao Budian, he also has to ensure that if Murong Yanran and co. lose that they do not die and are able to escape alive. At least Murong Yanran this little chick absolutely cannot die.

Or else who would go to the Xiao family to break off the marriage?

But if Ye Ge and co. win too easily, then for Lin Feng that is also definitely not a good thing. God knows if they will take an eye towards Xiao Budian's potential and take him into the Celeritas Sword Sect's door?

Then Lin Feng will have lost everything.

A lose-lose situation for both sides is the result that Lin Feng is most happy to see.

And so, carefully finding a place and hiding himself, Lin Feng took out the Northern Aurora Sword, closely paying attention to the battle.

The white-robed youth had already pulled his sword out of the scabbard, engaging the old peach tree first.

Only even though a level of Qi Disciple level 10 is impressive and he cut down a couple of peach blossoms, it is far from being the old peach tree's opponent.

When the white-robed youth's sword aura was about to cut the tree trunk, a change suddenly occurred to the old peach tree. The peach blossoms on the tree branches together released a pink coloured mist, connecting together and enveloping the old peach tree.

When the white-robed youth's sword cut into the pink mist, it was immediately like being caught in quicksand, unable to move.

"Vile spawn thou dareth?" The white-robed youth's expression changed, wanting to call back the flying sword but it was caught by the pink mist, no matter how hard he tried he could not take it back.

Not only so, the red mist followed the white-robed youth's mana eroding over, counterattacking him. The white-robed youth's face was instantly flushed red, as if drunk from alcohol, only able to difficulty hold on.

The situation drastically plummeted, Ye Ge and Murong Yanran were all greatly alarmed. Murong Yanran wanted to help out but was stopped by Ye Ge: "There's something strange about this tree demon, don't interfere."

Ye Ge extended his arm and released an invisible sword qi with a sweep of his arm, cutting off the connection between the white-robed youth and the old peach tree. Saving the white-robed youth he handed him over to Murong Yanran: "You guys stand down, I will face this demon."

Finishing speaking he pulled his sword out of the scabbard, stabbing forward and also releasing a golden coloured sword aura.

Ye Ge's sword aura is a lot fiercer than the white-robed youth's, like a fogbow streaking across the sky, the dazzling sword aura cut straight towards the old peach tree. (TL: Fogbow – a phenomenon similar to a rainbow, produced by sunlight shining on fog.)

The old peach tree repeated the same trick, the red mist became increasingly thicker blocking Ye Ge's sword aura. Waves of ripples like water rose up on the red mist, the strength of Ye Ge's fierce attack was actually also averted by her.

Lin Feng secretly said: "Thank god." Taking head on the attack of Ye Ge who is a Foundation Establishment rank cultivator, this old peachtree really also has Foundation Establishment rank strength.

Good thing I wasn't rash before or else even with the Northern Aurora Sword, running over to solo the old peach tree would just be a futile attempt without return.

Ye Ge gave a cold snort, the bright sword aura turned into a mist, suddenly expanding. The sword qi spread upward, forming a very imposing cloud pillar.

The cloud pillar expanded to the extreme, the mist directly burst apart becoming a rain of sword qi like a swarm of locusts, hundreds of thousands of sword qi together shooting in all directions.

The old peach tree was in no rush, the peach blossoms on the tree branches all floated down, forming a rain of flowers in the air and shooting towards Ye Ge.

Unlike the seemingly weak and floaty appearance seen before, the flower petals this time were like sharp arrows, soaring through the clouds and splitting rocks

The rain of flowers all over the sky met in mid air with the boundless sword qi, breaking out a striking collision.

Flower petals split, sword qi vanished, the two sides mingled together, the world was turned into a haze.

Lin Feng was hiding in cover and watching enraptured: "This is the power of Foundation Establishment rank cultivators, they are indeed skilled."

Lin Feng thought while watching, if he met a Foundation Establishment rank cultivator, how should he deal with the person?

Naturally it would be best if he didn't have to fight, but if he had to attack then he has to first set up Nine Heavens Thunder Summoning to ambush, and then immediately use the Northern Aurora Sword to do a pincer attack while the person is dealing with being stuck by lightning.

Success is between these two moves, if even this kind of attack cannot defeat the opponent then he will immediately run away, running as fast as he can.

Overall, under the premise of first plotting against the opponent and ambushing, it's not that he can't win, but his chances of winning are still pretty low.

While Lin Feng was in the middle of his thoughts, the battle over there had already gradually intensified.

Between the collision of the sword qi and the flower storm, it seemed like Ye Ge was the better. After the sword qi crushed over a hundred peach blossoms, the remaining momentum did not stop, continuing to bombard towards the old peach tree.

Concentrated sword qi like a storm landed on the old peach tree.

The entire body of the old peach tree rippled with a layer of crimson red demonic aura, gorgeous and brilliant, bearing the bombardment of the sword storm head on.

Like a rainstorm hitting water, wave after wave of ripples rose up on the red demonic aura. Maybe one beam of sword qi cannot break open the old peach tree's defense, but the attack this time is more than thousands of beams of sword qi. Being repeatedly attacked by such concentrated sword qi non-stop the old peach tree really does have a sort of precarious feeling.

Murong Yanran and the white-robed youth were all loudly cheering.

The Stone Village villagers that had escaped far away also stopped their footsteps, paying attention to the battle. Seeing Ye Ge have the advantage they also cheered together.

Only Lin Feng's eyes were slightly focused, his heart tightening a bit: "Something's wrong."

Naturally he wouldn't be worried about the old peach tree, it's that he sensed that the old peach tree seemed to be holding back.

Seeing the old peach tree only have the ability to withstand the attacks and not have the strength to retaliate, Ye Ge who has a cautious nature was also in high-spirits, the sword sign of his hands changed, his body fusing with the sword and together flying upwards.

The mist like sword qi also instantly became a brilliant sword aura at this instant, human and sword as one, cutting straight down towards the old peach tree.

This attack gave up on the formless, fluctuating characteristic of the mist and focused all of the strength into lethality and destructive power. Ye Ge's mana surged, forming a powerful sword aura dozens of meters long and as wide as a door with peerless might and an invincible aura.

But right at this moment, a light laughed rang beside Lin Feng's ear.

It was that low and hoarse female voice, her laughing voice was filled with disdain and contempt.

Lin Feng's eyes jolted wide open, seeing the bright red demon aura around the old peach tree suddenly condense into a ball of light only the size of a fist.

The light orb looks unremarkable, but watching that light orb Lin Feng felt even his soul slightly tremble.

That is a strength compressed to the extreme, the destructive power has also reached the extreme. Lin Feng even saw that even the air around the light orb had already distorted, the space had a trend of collapsing towards the inside of the light orb.

Ye Ge's expression dramatically changed: "What a cunning demon!"

But he had already reached the end of his move, there was no more time to change. He could only brace himself and attack.

Ye Ge's sword aura collided with the old peach tree's light orb, a dazzling light burst forth causing everyone to be unable to open their eyes.

The instant that both sides made contact there was not much activity, but the next instant a deafening roar rose up.

A massive shockwave expanded in all directions, the Stone Village villagers far away were like blades of straw being blown all over the place by the powerful wind.

Against the shockwave, Lin Feng who was very far away also felt his chest tighten, the breath that he was originally about to exhale was actually suppressed, unable to breath out.

At the heart of the explosion, a human figure flew out, heavily falling onto the ground, is was exactly Ye Ge.

The Ye Ge right now no longer had the sage like appearance when they first met, the white robe on his body had already been dyed red with fresh blood.

Murong Yanran and the white-robed youth were all aghast, hastily going up and helping up Ye Ge. Before they could even speak they were cut off by Ye Ge, the old man hurriedly yelled: "Go, go quick!"

Before his voice has died away, the old peach tree's flowers fluttered in the wind, already preparing for a new round of attacks.

The three people of the Celeritas Sword Sect did not dare to hesitate, supporting each other and running away in a fluster. Right now their minds no longer had any thought of slaying evil, their only thought was one word: Run!

Yet at this moment Lin Feng summoned the Northern Aurora Sword, its blade pointing straight at the old peach tree.

"Now is the time!"

I'll say this beforehand since I don't really think it's a spoiler. As you'll see in this chapter, yes the tree is a female, and if you were to base things off this chapter and with every novel you've read, you would assume they end up together. But, I am 1000 chapters in and there is almost zero indication of Lin Feng getting together with anybody, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that I've never seen a novel where the MC doesn't end up with somebody, I would tell you 100% that Lin Feng doesn't end up with anybody. Honestly if he does end up with somebody, judging by the way things are going, it'll at least be a couple hundred more chapters. So yeah, you guys will have to wait like 10 years or something to see if that happens or not…

The showdown between two Foundation Establishment rank powerhouses came to a close with the old peach tree's victory.

First appearing weak to the enemy and then after luring Ye Ge to advance rashly decisively using the strongest strength to engage, beating the complete crap out of this Foundation Establishment ranked cultivator of the Celeritas Sword Sect.

But the old peach tree herself also paid a relatively big price, that brilliant red protective demonic aura of hers had also vanished at this moment, only able to use the red mist and flower rain to organize a new offensive.

Even like this she is still not what the injured Ye Ge and co. can withstand, Ye Ge and co. hurriedly escaped.

Right at this time from a different direction, a powerful wave of mana fluctuations suddenly burst out, lightning and thunder surged making people breathless.

Lin Feng's face was pale, drenched in sweat.

Above his head the Northern Aurora Sword floated in the air. The sword was covered with arcs of lightning, sparks continuously jumped, the "Crackling" sound of electric currents roared.

Lin Feng's hand formed spell signs, his mouth complaining: "This thing consumes too much mana, but this is still far from enough." He felt his mana was practically about to be sucked dry by the Northern Aurora Sword.

Lin Feng didn't have a lot of chances, taking advantage of while the old peach tree has been heavily exhausted by Ye Ge is the best opportunity to defeat the old peach tree. this is a golden opportunity.

Suddenly, Lin Feng thought of something: "Oh right, how did I forget about that thing?"

He hurriedly took out the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade, attempting to draw out thunder energy from within.

With this he almost screwed up, the thunder essence in the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade is pure and so colossal, flowing into Lin Feng's body in an instant it almost turned him into charcoal.

Lin Feng's entire body was covered by lightning, from top to bottom his body was coursing with dense blue and purple lightning aura.

Don't mention sparks flying out from his entire body, even the hairs on his body had thunder energy that could not be held in blowing out.

At the crucial moment, Lin Feng circulated his Nine Heavens Thunder Technique to the extreme, his mind linking with the Northern Aurora Sword above his head.

The colossal thunder energy finally found an outlet, immediately charging into the Northern Aurora Sword like a flood breaking through a dike.

Lin Feng carefully controlled the flow of the mana and spirit energy in his body, making himself become the bridge of communication between the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade and Northern Aurora Sword.

With the massive power supply of the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade the Northern Aurora Sword instantly became powerful, the lightning aura on the sword became increasingly condensed, in the end becoming a pure white, even the Northern Aurora Sword itself turned into a lightsaber.

At the tip of the lightsaber, lightning aura converged into a lightning ball. The size became increasingly bigger, revealing a power of mass destruction. Compared to the lightning that Lin Feng summoned before using the Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning it was also even stronger.

The scariness of this lightning ball could already rival the light orb that the old peach tree created.

The commotion over at Lin Feng's side had already alarmed the people in the battle, both sides stopped fighting in uncertainty. Even though they couldn't see Lin Feng, they were all paying attention to the movement over at Lin Feng's side.

But before they could react, Lin Feng had already let loose.

An incredibly overbearing and powerful beam of dazzling lightning burst across the sky, striking towards the burnt old peach tree.

Northern Aurora Mystic Light!

The flowers of the old peach tree all violently shook, boundless red mist and and an endless flower storm went to engage the Northern Aurora Mystic Light.

The lightning along with the red mist and flower storm met in mid-air, time seemed to stop at this instant, becoming infinitely slow. It was clearly just an instant, yet it was like a century had passed.

Every person looking discovered that they could clearly see the the flower rain and red mist bit by bit fragment, becoming specks of dust and then being swallowed by the lightning.

The enchanting flowers, inch by inch, foot by foot, all disintegrated like dust.

Lastly the old peach tree itself that is 8,9 meters tall with a diameter of a whole dozen meters was also covered in cracks like fractured porcelain.

Breaking, disintegrating, constantly fracturing, breaking again!

Countless pieces of wood charcoal fell onto the ground, this incredibly massive old peach tree was directly obliterated by this Northern Aurora Mystic Light of Lin Feng's!

Too bad for it that it had already been struck by lightning before and is now suffering a lightning calamity again, it is unable to hold on anymore.

Lin Feng saw the result of his one sword blow letting out a long sigh of relief. His mind felt a wave of weakness, he does not have the ability to do it again.

A sea of thunder energy was poured into the Northern Aurora Sword through his body causing his body to also bear a huge bearden, especially his heart which was suffering from waves of numbness.

But he quickly pulled himself together because he faintly saw that after the old peach tree was destroyed there was a while light that flashed by.

Even though it was just a split second, Lin Feng's expression still greatly changed.

That is a bare-footed woman with snow white clothes, her beauty is one that Lin Feng has never seen in his life before.

Murong Yanran could already be considered incredibly beautiful, but in front of this woman she was still a step below.

The beauty of this woman was in that her entire body did not have any imperfections, her beauty was breathtaking, her beauty was intoxicating… Her beauty was inhuman.

But Lin Feng's heart did not have the fiery feeling of seeing a beautiful woman like before.

He only felt a bone chilling coldness, his back drenched in cold sweat.

The white-clothed woman had her hair loose, her entire body did not have any accessories but she naturally revealed a tempting beauty.

Lin Feng felt her look over towards him, that low and hoarse female voice once again sounded beside his ears.

"My name is Long Ye, please remember it, because…" (TL: Long Ye, 胧夜, hazy night.)

Different from her elegant and enchanting appearance, her voice is extremely deep, yet it formed a sort of special allure, attracting people to willingly indulge in it.

But Lin Feng's mind did not have any romantic or amorous thoughts because the other half of this woman's sentence is like this.

"… because, I've remembered you!"

Finishing speaking one sentence, with a flash the white figure had already disappeared, only leaving behind the remains of the wrecked old peach tree all over the ground.

Lin Feng brushed his nose, if it was possible he really wanted to say: " Big sis, please don't have good memory."

Being remembered by a hot chick is a good thing, but that definitely doesn't include Long Ye.

At this time, the other people were also like they had woken up from a dream.

The villagers of Stone Village were all cheering in joy when Ye Ge had the advantage, who knew that the situation would take a sudden turn for the worst and that the three people of the Celeritas Sword Sect would be defeated and flee. Right when people were in a panic, a sudden bolt of lightning from the sky directly killed the tree demon.

The ups and downs of life are honestly too quick, when the villagers returned to their senses a lot of people cried from joy, one by one they kowtowed in the direct that the lightning was released.

Ye Ge and co. who had escaped for a while were also dumbstruck at this moment. The white-robed youth said angrily: "Isn't this guy a bit too good at picking up opportunities? Only attacking while taking advantage of after Elder Ye and that tree demon took each other down."

Ye Ge shook his head: "Seeing the power of that lightning, that person's strength is only above mine and not below."

Murong Yanran said hesitantly: "Should we go back and take a look?"

While speaking, a hostile aura suddenly came over from the direction of the lightning, powerful mana fluctuations once again sprang up.

Ye Ge and co. all had an unhappy look, the white-robed youth said furiously: "Actually daring to provoke us the Celeritas Sword Sect?"

Murong Yanran glared at him: "Elder Ye is currently hurt, we can only let him be cocky."

"Forget it, let's go. In any case the tree demon has been eliminated." Ye Ge sighed, looking towards Murong Yanran: "It's just that we'll need to delay a period of your time, I can only accompany you to the Wuzhou province Xiao family after I've recovered."

Murong Yanran hurriedly said: "Of course it's elder's injury that is more important."

Scaring off Murong Yanran and co., Lin Feng let out a breath of relief. He looked towards Xiao Budian in the crowd far off, his heart instantly becoming fervent: "Busying about for half a day it's finally about to reach harvest time."

As for the future trouble brought by Long Ye, Lin Feng could only first put it in the back of his mind. Right now all of his thoughts are about how he is finally about to have his first disciple.

Hurriedly changing into the taoist clothes and reverting back to that sage-like master appearance, Lin Feng snuck back to the elder's house, finding a most comfortable position and then sitting in the elder's house yard, quietly waiting for Xiao Budian and them to return.

After a moment, a group of people followed the elder and Xiao Budian walking into the yard, originally they were going to discuss the matters of taking care of the aftermath.

Who knew that just entering the door he saw Lin Feng carefree and content, sitting cross-legged, a magic sword placed horizontally across his knees. The lightning arcs that occasionally jumped on the magic sword instantly flashed them blind.

Xiao Budian was the first to react: "Daozhang, it was you that got rid of that old peach tree?" (TL: 道长, daozhang, a way to refer to taoist priests. I just left it out before or changed it to you, but I've just decided to leave it as daozhang from now on.)

Lin Feng lightly smiled but did not speak.

Thinking of that talisman he gave to Xiao Budian before that summoned lightning and then seeing the Northern Aurora Sword on Lin Feng's knees, thinking of that miraculous lightning strike that destroyed the old peach tree, the Stone Village villagers immediately started cheering.

Everybody looked at Lin Feng in reverence, all of them kneeling down and thanking Lin Feng for saving them.

Even with the thickness of Lin Feng's skin he still felt embarrassed, but he still had to continue acting like a master so he could only force himself to hold on.

The old elder also walked over at this time thanking Lin Feng. After thanking him he seemed to have something to say, his gaze hesitantly shifting between Lin Feng and Xiao Budian.

Lin Feng's appearance was indifferent, but the corners of his eyes were looking at Xiao Budian the entire time, his inner heart calling out affectionately.

"Xiao Budian you little guy, hurry up and come into master's bowl." (TL: Come into his bowl, become his, you get it.)

Chapter 9: Come to Master!

Translator:Sparrow_

Editor:Sparrow, Yuui

The old elder's gaze hesitantly shifted between Lin Feng and Xiao Budian.

"Xiao Budian, hurry up and come to master's embrace!" Lin Feng loudly cried in his heart.

However, on the surface, he looked indifferently towards Xiao Budian and asked calmly, "Master left a talisman with you. Did you use it?"

Xiao Budian turned slightly red and he scratched his head in embarrassment, "I used it. I tried to look for it but I couldn't find it."

Lin Feng laughed coldly, "No worries. I left it with you to protect you. Master returned again because I sensed the change in your talisman."

Xiao Budian smiled, "Thank you Mr Taoist for getting rid of the old peach tree and saving everybody."

Lin Feng lightly smiled. He took out another talisman and handed it to Xiao Budian, "Keep it safe and be careful in the future. Master still has things to do so we'll split here. We'll meet again if fate allows."

The exchanged thunder crystals have already been exhausted. Just this talisman alone will not be able to activate the Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning but this didn't stop Lin Feng from his act.

Finishing his words, Lin Feng straightened his clothes and got up. He kept the Northern Aurora Sword and headed towards the door.

Xiao Budian nodded his head innocently, but the old elder stared blankly. He thought Lin Feng would revisit the issue and take in Xiao Budian as his disciple.

The old man wanted Lin Feng to take Xiao Budian as his disciple. However, he was also afraid of leaking Xiao Budian's background. He was in the middle of contemplating but he never expected that Lin Feng would just get up and leave.

Lin Feng maintained a poker face as he walked out to the village entrance. The Stone Village villagers all made way for him with reverence and gratitude.

"1, 2, 3…" Lin Feng walked while silently counting in his heart. Of course he couldn't just walk away. If not, why would he have worked so hard?

When you're acting, you need to fully immerse yourself in the role. Playing the role of a sage-like master, Lin Feng needed to have the airs of a sage-like master.

Often, people will not value things which are obtained too easily. It is also the same when it comes to masters and disciples. If Lin Feng appeared to be too passionate and interested, the old elder and Xiao Budian might have doubts. On the other hand, if Lin Feng played hard to get, they might actually actively seek him out.

Sure enough, by the time Lin Feng counted to "10", he heard the elder calling out, "Sir Taoist, please wait!"

"Excellent!" Lin Feng laughed in his heart without changing his facial expression. He turned around but did not speak. Instead, he calmly looked at the old elder.

It's clear that the old man made up his mind. He held Xiao Budian's hand as he walked over, humbly but solemnly saying, "This child has had many hardships since he was born. Being able to gain Sir Taoist's favour is his good fortune. Sir Taoist, please have mercy and take in this child."

Lin Feng knew that this was the right time to display his magnanimity so he didn't create any difficulties and said calmly, "It's not a matter of favouring and taking mercy. Being able to continue our master-disciple relationship makes me very happy. However, that still requires this child to make up his own mind."

After the old elder contemplated, he said to the surrounding villagers, "Everyone, please go home. Over the past few days, we have had been a chain of major events. I believe that all of our families are in a mess. Why don't you all go home to settle down and rest."

Though the villagers found it odd, they left under the behest of the elder. As they left, they profusely thanked Lin Feng.

After a moment, only Lin Feng, the old elder and Xiao Budian remained in the yard. The old elder bowed and said, "There are some secrets I have not revealed. If Sir Taoist allows it, I would like to invite you to enter into the house to speak."

Lin Feng nodded his head. The three people entered the stone house and sat down. The old elder looked at Xiao Budian affectionately, "Xiao Budian, are you willing to take Sir Taoist as your master?"

Xiao Budian's dark eyes lit up like they were glowing and looked at Lin Feng, "Can I learn great skills like Sir Taoist?"

Lin Feng lightly smiled, "There are even greater ones."

Xiao Budian repeatedly nodded his head with a face full of anticipation, "Wow… I'm willing! I'm willing!"

Lin Feng put away his smile and said slowly, "However, Master will not stay here for long. If you want to be my disciple, you'll have to leave the village with Master."

Hearing this, Xiao Budian immediately started to hesitate and looked anxiously between Lin Feng and the old elder.

The old elder gave a dry cough and said with a serious face, "Xiao Budian, aren't you always asking me where your father and mother went?"

Blinking his eyes, Xiao Budian said, "I have a slight impression in my mind but I'm always unable to remember it. Grandpa, you're finally willing to tell me?"

The elder nodded his head and then looked towards Lin Feng, "Allow me to tell Sir Taoist. This child… His background is very special, it might even bring you trouble in the future. He… He comes from the royal family of the Great Qin Dynasty and is also related to the Yu family of the Great Qin Dynasty."

Lin Feng's heart jumped slightly. The dynasties of this Heaven Primal world are different from those of Earth's history. Here in the Heaven Primal World, the kings who qualify to rule a country are all powerful cultivators.

The supposed royal family of a dynasty should instead be called extremely powerful cultivator clans. Such clans are strong enough to compete with great sects.

Lin Feng knew that this is the last test of the old man. Regardless of the difficulty, he will not give up on Xiao Budian, this disciple.

Are you joking? In front of Xiao Budian, this kind of MC level character, who cares if you're a 10 thousand year sect or a thousand year dynasty? They're all just stepping stones. The path may be bumpy, but the future was destined to be bright.

Furthermore, the ultimate goal of Lin Feng's Super Founder System was to establish history's number 1 sect. To complete this task, he'll naturally have to collide with the current forces of the world.

Lin Feng's eyes turned serious. The corners of his lips drew up to form a light smile but he did not speak.

His change in expression made it clear to the old elder: He knows the gravity of the situation, but he remains confident and unafraid.

Sure enough, the old elder let out a breath of relief and said with a smile, "That was stupid of me. Sir Taoist, please do not be offended." As he spoke, he looked towards Xiao Budian, "This child has great origins, but he has had many hardships..."

Naturally, Xiao Budian was not his real name. In truth, he's Shi Tianhao from Great Qin dynasty's royal family. Even though he was not part of the main bloodline, he was still of nobility.

Shi Tianhao's grandfather and father were both great cultivators of very high levels. Shi Tianhao was especially extraordinary, as he was born in the Foundation Establishment stage. When he was a baby, he'd already crossed a threshold which the majority of living things would not overcome even if they tried for their entire lives.

Normal martial artists who were able to guide qi into their bodies are Qi Disciple cultivators. Qi Disciple cultivators advance to the Foundation Establishment stage when they forge their Tao root.

There was also a distinction between Tao roots. The Tao technique a cultivator practices and his innate talent would affect the Tao root's grade. A Tao root would usually be classified as mortal class, spirit class, earth class and heaven class.

Not only does the quality of one's Tao root causes a difference in strength among cultivators at the same level, it would also determine one's future prospect in cultivation.

Not only was Shi Tianhao born with a Tao root, his Tao root was the incredibly rare ultimate Tao root that is above heaven class Tao roots.

While listening, the expression on Lin Feng's face didn't change. But in his heart, he was actually bursting with joy, "a bone root of 10, a bone root of 10…"

As he listened, Lin Feng started to get a bit confused. With such amazing talent, Xiao Budian should be treated like a treasure. Why did he get left here?

The old elder's following explanation solved Lin Feng's question.

It turned out that Xiao Budian's natural born Tao root was not exhibited at the moment he was born. His parents only discovered it when his grandfather had gone missing in a dangerous place. Xiao Budian's parents were anxious to save his grandfather so they were forced to place Xiao Budian, who was not even half-a-year old, in a different family.

This was when Shi Tianhao faced a series of unfortunate events. This other family also had a little prodigy. His name was Shi Tianyi and he was a few years older than Xiao Budian. He was born with two pupils in each eye and he saw that Xiao Budian actually possessed a ultimate Tao root.

In the end, Shi Tianyi's mother plotted against Xiao Budian. She found a person to use a spell and rob Xiao Budian's ultimate Tao root. She then transplanted it onto her son, Shi Tianyi.

By the time Xiao Budian's parents returned, it was already too late. The ultimate Tao root had already completely fused with Shi Tianyi, They would need to kill Shi Tianyi in order to take it back. This was something that the royal family (the Shi family) could not accept.

As a result, Xiao Budian's parents created a big uproar and fought their way out of Great Qin's imperial capital. To save the dying Xiao Budian, they were forced to go to a dangerous place to look for medicine.

When the old elder was young, he explored the world and learned some basic Tao techniques. In one of his adventures, he befriended Xiao Budian's father. Even though today their levels were as far apart as the difference between the sky and the earth, their friendship still existed. Thus, Xiao Budian was temporarily placed at the old elder's house.

However, the old elder had not heard a word from Xiao Budian's parents since they went out to look for medicine three years ago.

The old elder let out a sigh, "Before the old tree demon caused trouble, there were also Yu family's people. The Yu family is the family of Shi Tianyi's maternal grandfather. Who knew that they would actually be so cruel. They did not stop after robbing Xiao Budian's ultimate Tao root, they also wanted to finish him off.

The Yu family was ranked among the Great Qin dynasty's 4 great clans and was also a powerful cultivator clan. Strong people appear in the clan every generation. The two people who came were their lowest grade servants.

As he finishing speaking, the old elder fell into silence and anxiously looked at Lin Feng. In turn, Lin Feng was observing Xiao Budian.

In the process of the old elder's explanation, Xiao Budian was first shocked, but then after a moment his entire body shook. His gaze was filled with confusion then with sadness. Tears profusely flowed from his eyes.

"Grandpa, I remember, I remember now…" Xiao Budian's face was filled with tears. He was born with a Tao root and developed his intelligence far earlier than normal children. As a result, he knew everything about his bitter childhood experience. It was exactly because it was too miserable, that he chose to purposely forget about it.

The old elder repeatedly sighed. Lin Feng calmly stared at Xiao Budian and asked, "You've remember the matters from your past. What are your thoughts?"

"I am very pained. Father… Mother, where are you guys?" Xiao Budian continuously shed tears.

Lin Feng nodded his head and thought, "What a kind child." He then opened his mouth and said, "You have lost your ultimate Tao root. Don't you hate your clan brother, Shi Tianyi? He was already born with dual pupils and now after obtaining your ultimate Tao root. Now, even other prodigies would probably have difficulties trying to catch up with his greatness."

Xiao Budian gradually calmed down. Wiping his tears, he said, "Isn't it just a Tao root? The ultimate stage is not appointed, it is carved by one's own footsteps. I will wait for him at Primordial Soul stage!"

Lin Feng smiled. Xiao Budian felt blessed and he immediately got down on his knees, "Master, please take me in and teach me Tao techniques."

At this moment the system notification sound rang in his mind. To Lin Feng, it sounded like the voice of a goddess.

"Congratulations on taking in your first disciple, Shi Tianhao."

"Host has obtained reward: One lottery chance and 500 trading points."

Need help… dying… too many… instant noodles… so good…

Fighting the Yu family's cultivators, screwing over Murong Yanran and co., the fierce battle with the old peach tree.

Working hard for so long Lin Feng finally reached harvest time. Looking at Xiao Budian who was following behind him Lin Feng's mood was unprecedentedly happy.

Bidding farewell to the people of Stone Village and inquiring about the path towards Wuzhou city, Lin Feng brought Xiao Budian and hit the road.

At Wuzhou there is still a Xiao Yan who is suspected to be a main character waiting for him.

From Stone Village to Wuzhou one must go through the vast mountains and traverse the primitive jungles in the mountains.

The primitive jungles are definitely not the forests in human society, only people that have come before can understand this point.

Giant trees that shroud the sky and cover the sun, every year they create an astronomical number of fallen leaves. And in this damp and humid area the defoliation cannot turn into dry soil but will instead go through a very long decaying process, becoming a flat marsh together with the moist soil and turning into the scariest traps in the jungle.

And the bugs in the jungle are many times bigger than the regular ones seen outside. Swarms of hovering mosquitos are practically like flocks and flocks of birds!

The tree trunks on the side are covered with some old green tree vines, discreetly intertwined, layer after layer circle after circle. But one time when Lin Feng walked past, a dark green snake hiding in the tree vines suddenly sprang out!

Lin Feng had to admit, having him trek in this primitive jungle alone is a very dangerous matter. But now with Xiao Budian everything is different.

Despite him being not even 4 years old, Xiao Budian who has grown up in these mountains is already a veteran of jungle life.

With him leading in front, Lin Feng even had the time to check out his own Super Founder System while walking.

After Xiao Budian became his disciple, a new disciple system branch appeared in the system.

Right now in the disciple system's name list there's still only just Xiao Budian.

Name: Shi Tianhao

Age: 3 years 07 months

Current Level: Qi Disciple Level 2

Potential Attributes: Bone Root 10; Comprehension 8; Will 8; Luck 8

Note: A very strong body, far superior to regular Qi Disciple level 2 truth cultivators.

Recommended Teaching Plan: Recommended to practice thunder class dao techniques, in terms of abilities he can train in both spells and martial arts.

Lin Feng nodded his head in satisfaction, he can just perfectly pass onto Xiao Budian the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique.

He entered into the lottery system again. When he took in Xiao Budian as his disciple the system rewarded him with a lottery chance.

The dice system and the wheel system, Lin Feng looked at all of the randomly chosen lottery prizes and was slightly disappointed. There was nothing particularly good, he could only place his hopes on the mystery chest.

After the Northern Aurora Sword last time, Lin Feng already knows that this mystery chest is actually equivalent to a special big prize and can usually give a good item.

This time Lin Feng chose the wheel system.

In the void, 18 grids formed a round circle. 15 items were placed within plus a mystery chest with a question mark. There also remains two empty spaces.

"Chest, chest, chest… Start!"

With a thought, a dot of light appeared in the wheel and started rapidly spinning around the wheel.

Approximately after two rounds the dot of light's speed slowed down. Lin Feng closely stared at the light spot, calculating where it will stop in his heart.

The further the dot of light went the slower it became, it was also increasingly closer to the mystery chest.

The three things are respectively the spell Flame Saber, the Evil Suppression Talisman and the mystery chest.

Flame Saber is a higher level spell compared to Fireball and Palm Thunder these kinds of common spells. For Lin Feng who is currently at Qi Disciple rank it is just perfect for use. Spells that are too high grade have high demands and are instead not so easy to use.

The Evil Suppression Talisman is a type of very versatile talisman, it specially destroys demons and spirits. Even though it's just a one-time use item, if it's used properly it is even more useful than Flame Saber.

These two item are both in the trading system, they both require a couple hundred trading points.

But their appeal evidently still cannot compete with the mystery chest.

The light dot arrived at Flame Saber, seemingly wanting to stop. Lin Feng held his breath, not daring to release any sounds but he was constantly yelling in his heart: "Past, past, past!"

As if hearing Lin Feng's thoughts the dot of light slowly moved past Flame Saber arriving at the grid of the Evil Suppression Talisman.

"Past again, past again, past again!"

The dot of light did not disappoint, once more moving past the Evil Suppression Talisman as Lin Feng wished.

Lin Feng was delighted in his heart. My luck is pretty good, a total of two lotteries and I got the special prize each time.

"Could it be that my luck is also very high?" Lin Feng delightfully thought in his heart, the corners of his eyes glancing towards the wheel and almost being scared to death.

The light dot was actually still moving and was about to move past the mystery chest.

Lin Feng was immediately anxious: "Stop! Stop! Stop… Fuck!"

The dot of light finally shakily stopped, but it had already passed by the mystery chest landing on the grid after it.

Lin Feng looked over, becoming dazed.

Spirit Calming Grass.

Has the effect of calming and stabilizing one's soul and is the main material of the Soul Anchoring Pill. Their numbers are very few and are hard to find.

Lin Feng frowned, his gazed freezing on the Spirit Calming Grass that had already fallen into his hands.

Just now he sensed a thought flash across his mind, this Spirit Calming Grass seems to have a great use towards him.

But this thought was very hazy, Lin Feng hastily entered the trading system and found the Soul Anchoring Pill, looking at the description.

Te Soul Anchoring Pill is useless to regular people but can allow spirits and ghosts that have lost their physical body to stabilize their spirit bodies. They can travel long distances during the day, wander for 10 thousand miles and not damage or break their souls.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, gradually having an idea but it was still not clear enough. He still needs to plan things out for a long time, and so he put away the Spirit Calming Grass continuing to look through the trading system.

Taking in Xiao Budian as his disciple this time, besides the lottery chance he was also rewarded 500 trading point, even more than the initial capital the novice gift provided him.

Lin Feng prepared to trade for a spell or an ability.

For techniques he already has the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique, for magic items he has the Northern Aurora Sword so he isn't in a urgent need of both. On the contrary in terms of spells, even though the power of Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning is extraordinary, it has too many restrictions and has many inconveniences when in actual combat.

Ultimately, Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning is actually a formation technique. The user plants the spell formation in advance and then draws on the power of the world with the aid of the formation.

But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The power of formations is great but planting the formation is not easy. Not talking about how spell formations are dead and cannot be moved, just setting up the spell formation requires many materials and time. When encountering sudden situations it is very easy to be taken by surprise.

So this time Lin Feng decided to trade for a spell or ability, he has his eyes on a spell called Cloud Dragon Escape.

Escape techniques are very important towards cultivators. If one is skillful in escape techniques, they can run away if they are no match for the opponent and chase after the opponent if they can beat the opponent and they escape.

Cloud Dragon Escape is actually a branch of a great escape technique. This great ability is called "Dragon Escape" which includes Cloud Dragon Escape, Shadow Dragon Escape, Water Dragon Escape and many other escape techniques with different uses.

Only the amount of trading points to trade for the entire Dragon Escape is too much, it is entirely not what Lin Feng can afford at the moment. He could only take a step back. After seriously thinking and screening, he chose Cloud Dragon Escape this branch.

The escape technique of the Cloud Dragon Escape Technique is mainly used in short distance movement and dodging in small areas. The practitioner's feet move like a snake and dragon, like riding on a cloud making the opponent unable to touch the corner of your clothes. It has a very great value in practical combat.

His consciousness backed out of the system and discovered that Xiao Budian was staring at him in anticipation: "Master, when can I learn dao techniques with you?"

Lin Feng lightly smiled, patting his head: "Relax you are master's senior disciple, how could master forget about you?"

Xiao Budian's big black eyes turned: "Master, I don't want to be the senior disciple. I… I want to be the youngest disciple."

Lin Feng was a bit confused, looking at Xiao Budian in front of him who was like a porcelain doll with rosy red lips and pretty white teeth: "Don't worry, even though you are still young you have entered the sect the longest, there is no problem in you being the eldest disciple. In the future when master takes in disciples they'll all have to quietly be your juniors.

Xiao Budian grabbed Lin Feng's hand and shook it: "But master, I really want to be the youngest disciple."

Lin Feng said in wonder: "Why?"

The tips of Xiao Budian's feet grinded the ground, lowering his head in embarrassment: "In the village it was like this, whoever's family has multiple children, usually it's always the youngest one that people dote on more… In the village I was the youngest child so everybody adored me the most…"

Lin Feng looked dumbfounded at Xiao Budian in front of him who was filled with mischief, after a long while Lin Feng said half-angrily half-laughingly: "You little imp, I don't know if I should call you smart or foolish. That's in your Stone Village, not every place is the same."

"On the contrary, in some places the younger one is the more they are bullied." Lin Feng looked at Xiao Budian with a faint smile: "Have you thought clearly, if you want to always be the smallest then there's also no problem with that. Don't regret it in the future when those seniors of yours tell you to go get washing water and scrub the toilet.

Xiao Budian's eyes turned, holding onto Lin Feng's hand and shaking it while grinning. He said smilingly: "I'll get washing water, scrub the toilet and massage the shoulders for master. With master around and Xiao Budian being so good, surely my seniors won't trouble me."

Lin Feng looked at the little imp in front of his eyes, silently for a short while. In the end he let out a laugh, poking Xiao Budian's forehead: "Oh you…"

Xiao Budian revealed an innocent smile, laughing with a smile.

Report chapter

Hey, sorry about the long break. I've been busy and school has started for me. Stupid darn textbooks are overpriced as hell. Anyways, yeah, I'll just be posting chapters when I get them done from now on, when that is I have no clue.

Dropping from the eldest disciple of the head of the sect straight down to the youngest disciple, Xiao Budian himself laughed heartlessly, like he'd picked up a huge bargain.

Lin Feng secretly let out a breath of relief in his heart. Regardless if it's intentional or unintentional Xiao Budian solved a big problem for him by doing this.

Or else if he takes in more disciples later and they know that above their heads there is a little 4 year old kid as their senior, it's inevitable that there will be concerns.

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Budian smilingly, saying in his heart: "Atta boy, just for you being so understanding master will also cover you."

Regardless if he's the eldest disciple or the youngest disciple right now Lin Feng only has Xiao Budian this one disciple, he is only able to experience the pleasure of being a teacher from him.

But very quickly Lin Feng was secretly depressed, because he discovered that Xiao Budian's comprehension in cultivation is extremely high, he is able to see how things will develop from one small clue and is able to infer other things from one fact. Even the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique this kind of high-end dao technique Xiao Budian is able to learn it effortlessly.

The escape technique Cloud Dragon Escape is even more effortless for him.

Compared to his max level bone root of 10, Xiao Budian's comprehension of 8 didn't seem to be that eye-catching.

But in reality?

A comprehension of 8 is still super genius level, one in a million.

Lin Feng didn't even need to guide him. Teaching everything to Xiao Budian like stuffing a duck and and then letting him figure it out on his own was enough.

Facing this kind of disciple, while Lin Feng sighed about the extraordinariness of the main character aura he also felt pressure as big as a mountain.

He needs to quickly increase his own strength, or else if in the end any one of his disciples are all even stronger than him this master, that would be too shameful.

Lin Feng clearly understands that regardless if it's Xiao Budian in front of him or that Xiao Yan in Wuzhou City, in the future these main characters are destined to step on a path of the strong filled with thorns and fire.

They will be like giant magnets of infinite magnetism, attracting all kinds of savage, cunning, powerful, or sinister enemies from all over the world in all directions like moths flying into a fire, crying and shouting and jumping at them.

Of course, after these chains of soul-stirring, earth shaking epic battles, Xiao Budian and co. are destined to obtain victory, writing their own legend. The problem is, what role will he, Lin Feng, play in the story?

Just looking at the current situation, he can only be considered a mentor of initiation.

And this kind of mentor of initiation, usually only has two types of results.

One, they are an important figure, life teacher or even spiritual pillar towards the main character on a spiritual level. Once they die it will usually ignite the main character's inner cosmos driving them to wreak hell.

Old grandpas aren't omnipotent, on the contrary old grandpas are usually in a downed state which is why they are able to meet the main character when he is still insignificant and yet to rise up. Even if old grandpas don't die they could also be captured by the main character's arch-enemy, being tortured, suffering hardships, waiting for the main character to go save them.

Two, as their mentor of initiation, they only play the role of a guide, responsible for bring the main character into the world of the strong. Afterwards it's none of the mentor's business, there will naturally be higher-levelled masters or big sects to take over the main character. They are the true characters responsible for teaching the main character.

One is cannon fodder, the other is just a bystander.

Evidently no matter which one they are all not what Lin Feng can accept.

To avoid these two circumstances there is only one path, that is to get stronger himself.

Even though they are hurrying towards Wuzhou, but while they are travelling Lin Feng is also grabbing hold of every possible moment to train and increase his strength.

For the current Lin Feng the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade is a priceless treasure that he wouldn't trade for anything. Through absorbing the pure thunder energy inside Lin Feng's training speed is many times faster than under his normal condition.

If not for the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade acting as the Northern Aurora Sword's energy source, Lin Feng would continue to suck clean all of the thunder energy within.

Xiao Budian is also training diligently, although while training Xiao Budian also has some other thoughts.

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Budian who was blushing, unable to help but being a bit dazed: "Are you sure?"

Xiao Budian lowered his head in embarrassment: "Eyah, it's not like I have to drink it, I just like to drink it, like… Just like how grandpa elder likes to drink alcohol!"

Seemingly thinking of a pretty good reason Xiao Budian immediately became energetic, a pair of black shining eyes glowing and looking at Lin Feng with a face of hope.

But Lin Feng had a throbbing headache, no matter what he didn't think that Xiao Budian who is a main character level figure, actually still hasn't cut off milk at three and a half years old.

Although thinking of how there were still some adults in his previous life on Earth who drank milk, Lin Feng felt at ease: "Fine then, drinking milk is beneficial to the body's health."

The difficulty of hunting instantly rose up a lot, it has to be a female beast at the lactation period and it has to be caught alive.

After searching for several days Lin Feng finally captured a five-pawed violet gold leopard.

This is an abnormal species, compared to regular leopards it has an extra paw below its stomach. It runs like the wind and can travel on cliffs like walking on flat land. It can also spit out fire and lightning from its mouth, its nature is extremely aggressive.

It isn't hard for Lin Feng to kill this mother leopard, but wanting to subdue her and have her obediently provide animal milk for Xiao Budian, that is a technical skill.

In the end, Lin Feng was tired of its dawdling and directly held its cub hostage. Under Lin Feng's despicable blackmailing the mother leopard finally submitted.

And so Lin Feng and Xiao Budian also gained a mount, when travelling they sat on the five-pawed violet gold leopard, when resting Xiao Budian delightfully muzzled over below the mother leopard's belly.

After a couple of days the five-pawed violet gold leopard was finally released, it was not Lin Feng showing mercy but instead Xiao Budian wanting to change flavours.

Xiao Budian spoke plausibly: "Hundred animal milk is actually the most delicious, it's a lot better than the taste of a single animal's milk."

Lin Feng knocked on his little head: "You brat, this mouth of yours is not only gluttonous, it's also very picky. Right now there's no hundred animal milk, we'll switch around the single ones." Unable to help but sigh, not only does he have to be a master, he also has to be a milk dad. (TL: Milk dad is what the Chinese call fathers that take care of the child instead of the mother… But it's pretty literal in this case.)

Master and disciple travelled through the mountains, very quickly going through the mountain range. Outside of the mountain range Wuzhou City is already very close.

In a month's time, with the help of the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade Lin Feng already advanced from Qi Disciple level 4 to the peak of Qi Disciple level 6. He can already attack the level of Qi Disciple level 7.

But comparisons are odious, also in one month's time, also practising the the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique, Xiao Budian also advanced from Qi Disciple level 2 to Qi Disciple level 4.

Lin Feng was a bit speechless, I've got the help of the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade dammit…

"We've already reached the outer circle of the mountain range, we'll probably get out of the mountains in just a few days." Lin Feng gathered his thoughts, his mind slowly immersed in training: "I'll strive to reach Qi Disciple level 7 before we leave the mountains."

Lin Feng quietly did breathing exercises, constantly drawing energy from the outside world and bringing it into his body.

The energy stored in his dantian was constantly being refined and purified, and then flowing in the veins of his entire body, nourishing his soul and altering his body.

After the energy circulated throughout his entire body 36 times Lin Feng's eyes suddenly opened, all of the energy was gathered together and then charging at the seventh nerve point under the drive of the mana in the first six nerve points.

Following the constant passage of time Lin Feng gradually felt a slight feeling of exhaustion and the seventh nerve point still had no movement. This is a very dangerous signal, it means that Lin Feng's attempt this time could very likely end in failure.

If he fails this time everything he will need to start over from the beginning again. (TL: Start over as in he'll need to retrain for a while to be able to try to get to Qi Disciple level 7 again.)

"Success or failure it's a one shot deal!" Even though a layer of fine sweat had already slowly appeared on his head, Lin Feng's expression was filled with determination. His mind linked with the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade absorbing thunder energy from within it to support himself to continue charging at the nerve point.

Lin Feng didn't use brute force, instead turning the mana and energy in his body into a type of spiral manner to break through the nerve point.

While the spiral shaped energy acted as the main force and attacked from the front, Lin Feng carefully pulled out a few slivers of weak energy, adopting the method of going around from the side and slowly massaging the nerve point, bit by bit penetrating within causing it to constantly loosen.

Under the simultaneous methods of attacking from the front and penetrating from the sides, a change finally happened to the seventh nerve point right before Lin Feng was about to become exhausted again!

The invisible barrier that had originally been constantly obstructing the circulation of the mana and energy, like the dam blocking the river finally collapsed under the constant assault of the river water. The energy in Lin Feng's body roared downwards, entering into the seventh nerve point.

An abundance of energy circled in the nerve point, as if it were a constantly revolving stardust universe. Here, energy was constantly being converted into Lin Feng's own mana.

Qi Disciple level 7, complete.

Lin Feng's face revealed a smile. He exhaled a long breath discharging all of the muddy air without any spiritual power out of his body.

Exhaling and inhaling a few more times and nourishing the newly opened nerve point for a moment, Lin Feng stood up and stretched: "It wasn't easy this time! Hehe, although I still succeeded."

Lin Feng just felt rejoiceful when he found that Xiao Budian had disappeared, he helplessly sighed. Xiao Budian who was not even four years old fully displayed the so called naughty child characteristic, jumping up and down not willing to calm down for an instant, who knows where he's gone off to this time to go bananas.

After mastering Cloud Dragon Escape's ability, all of the birds and beasts in the forest suffered a calamity.

This time while Lin Feng was in the middle of breaking through the seventh nerve point, Xiao Budian had his mind hooked away by a beautiful yellow coloured sparrow.

Xiao Budian pursued the yellow sparrow deep into the woods. The yellow sparrow doesn't look big but it is an abnormal species, it's flying speed is fast like lightning. The Qi Disciple level 4 Xiao Budian pounced at it a couple times and was unable to grab it.

Xiao Budian was not discouraged and thought of Lin Feng's teachings: "Recklessness and impatience have no use, attentively figure out the details of the target and you'll naturally have it in the bag."

Thinking here Xiao Budian no longer blindly pounced, instead patiently observing the yellow sparrow's flight pattern. After a moment Xiao Budian suddenly jumped up, Qi Disciple level 4 mana surging in his tiny body, arriving in front of the yellow bird in an instant.

It was too late for the yellow sparrow to run away again and it was grabbed by Xiao Budian.

Xiao Budian happily laughed, shaking the yellow sparrow's feathers. He was in the middle of happily playing when he suddenly sensed something. Turning his head he saw a red robed youth underneath a tree looking at him with an expression of shock.

Of course the red-robed is shocked, this little guy in front of him has actually already reached the level of Qi Disciple level 4 at such a young age. Even in his sect this kind of talent is also unique.

"If I bring this little guy back the elders in the sect will definitely go crazy, even the sect master will not be able to sit tight. At this time I've made a great contribution…" Thinking here the red-robed youth's heart instantly heated up, looking at Xiao Budian with a grin.

Xiao Budian glanced at this red-robed youth a bit cautiously but on the surface he still had an innocent and naive look.

The red-robed youth said smilingly: "Kid, where is your family?"

Xiao Budian blinked his eyes: "I came out with my master."

The red-robed youth asked: "Which sect are you? Who is your master?" Xiao Budian shook his head: "I don't have a sect, master is master."

"There's a chance, looks like his master isn't from some kind of big sect, he's probably a wandering cultivator." The red-robed youth completely relaxed, his face unconsciously revealing a hint of arrogance: "Kid, you and I meeting today is your immortal opportunity. Come, return with me to the sect and you will be taught supreme dao techniques, achieving the way of the universe."

Xiao Budian blinked his big, black eyes, his face filled with an expression of blankness.

The red-robed youth woke up in realization, calling himself a fool. No matter how high the talent of the little guy in front of him, he is still just a child.

Thus he changed his tone: "Big brother is a disciple of the Blaze Sword Sect, have you heard of the Blaze Sword Sect? In the entire world the strongest sect is us the Blaze Sword Sect. If you enter the sword sect no one will dare to bully you again. You'll be entirely able to do whatever you want."

Xiao Budian opened his mouth, in the end saying: "But I have a master already."

The red-robed youth smiled faintly: "There's no harm, you can still enter into the Blaze Sword Sect. Bring me to go see your master, I'll speak with him. He will naturally agree."

He laughed lightly shaking his head: "If that master of yours is really thinking about what's best for you he will naturally agree to you changing to under the Blaze Sword Sect. Because only like this can you obtain the best development and not let your talent go unrecognised. What can a wandering cultivator teach you? That's completely wasting and burying your talent."

After the red-robed youth glanced at Xiao Budian he continued to say slowly: "Of course, if he wants he can also join our Blaze Sword Sect and be a guest elder, we naturally won't treat him poorly. Like this you can also meet up with him regularly, for everybody this is the best result."

In the red-robed youths mind, a tiny wandering cultivator being able to be a guest elder at his sect is really his good fortune.

When he obtains this promise he'll be head over heels to give out his disciple. At that point I won't even need to convince him any more and this little guy's master will be rushing him to come over to the sect.

The red-robed youth was in the middle of thinking happily when he saw the little guy in front of him turn around and run backwards after smiling, only leaving behind an increasingly smaller figure of his back.

"What is this?" The red-robed youth blanked: "He's too happy so he rushed back to tell that master of his?"

The red-robed youth hoped so much that it was this result, but his instincts told him that things were not going well. The red-robed youth didn't dare to hesitate anymore, rapidly chasing after Xiao Budian.

Originally he thought that it would not take too much effort to catch up to Xiao Budian, but after only chasing after him for two steps the red-robed youth received a big surprise.

Xiao Budian let out a long, clear cry, under the surging of his mana the skeleton and muscles of his whole body were like they'd connected into a line, turning in a giant dragon flying outside of the heavens, floundering and shifting in the clouds, appearing and disappearing.

The ability of Cloud Dragon Escape was used by Xiao Budian, he was truly like a dragon appearing at one moment and disappearing the next, like a dragon hiding its head and disappearing in the clouds.

A couple of ups and downs in the thick forest and Xiao Budian disappeared from the red-robed youth's sight causing him to stop his steps from shock. He said dumbfounded: "My level is Qi Disciple level 6, to think that I would actually be ditched by a Qi Disciple level 4 little kid?!"

Yet he didn't know that Xiao Budian was also very unsatisfied in his heart: "I still haven't exerted this escape technique to the limit. If it was master he would ditch that big red monkey out of sight in a flash."

Xiao Budian was careful and purposely went around in the forest a couple of circles. After confirming that he'd already completely ditched the red-robed youth he ran back and met up with Lin Feng.

Hearing Xiao Budian retell what happened Lin Feng secretly furrowed his eyebrows.

Blaze Sword Sect.

Even though the Stone Village elder's level isn't high, he traveled extensively when he was young and is quite knowledgeable. Before leaving Lin Feng had talked with him a couple of times and secretly obtained a lot of information from him.

This Blaze Sword Sect is the same as the Celeritas Sword Sect, they are both one of the few top-level sects in the borders of the Great Qin Dynasty. The sect has countless people of strength, like Ye Ge that kind of Foundation Establishment stage cultivator is just a minor character.

Even worse is that these two sword sects are both members of the Nine Heavens Sword Alliance.

The Nine Heavens Sword Alliance is formed by the alliance of the 9 great sword sects. They have always been very close, moreover the leader of the alliance the Mt. Shu Sword Sect is the supreme holy land of the way of the sword. Together with the Buddhist Great Thunder Monastery and the Taoist Void Temple they are called the 3 great holy lands of the cultivating world of the Heaven Primal world. (TL: The Great Thunder Monastery is also the place where Buddha resides in Journey to the West, there are also places in China called Thunder Monastery.)

The red-robed youth saying to Xiao Budian that his sect is the strongest sect is undoubtedly a big bluff. Not speaking of the 3 great holy lands and a couple of the other top-level sects, just in the Nine Heavens Sword Alliance the Blaze Sword Sect is also just a mid-tier level.

But the Blaze Sword Sect is indeed a powerful top notch force in the Heaven Primal world, this point is without doubt.

Lin Feng glanced at Xiao Budian, the little guy's black hair reaches down to his shoulders, his big eyes are black and bright, very energetic. His appearance is white and clean, pretty and cute. (TL: Yes, pretty, remember that he's not even 4 yet.)

"My good disciple, you are like that firefly in the dark, so bright and outstanding. That melancholic look in your eyes, the milk stains remaining at the corners of your lips and your godly talent have all deeply betrayed you, attracting all kinds of people to approach you one after another…"

Lin Feng secretly smiled wryly, the matter of the attempt of someone trying to take his disciple from him reminded him.

Right now he could also be considered an innocent man in trouble due to his wealth.

Right now Xiao Budian who Lin Feng has already taken in as his disciple along with the disciples that he might take in in the future are all destined to be a couple of uber prodigy level characters with OP talent due to the rigid standards of the system.

With him not having enough strength, even if these disciples themselves don't betray him they will still attract the greed of other forces.

This is different from him leading the Celeritas Sword Sect to fight the peach demon Long Ye before. The reason that he dared to screw over the Celeritas Sword Sect is because as the enemy of Xiao Yan that kind of main character, the Celeritas Sword Sect is destined to become a stepping stone and background.

But the current Blaze Sword Sect is different, this is an opponent that Lin Feng created himself.

But so what?

Lin Feng laughed coldly. Against this kind of big force naturally it's best to not offend them if possible, but since the matter is related to Xiao Budian then there's nothing to say. There's only two words, fuck them!

He spent such a great effort before finally taking Xiao Budian as his disciple, how can he hand him over?

Not to mention the system is still waiting for him. If he doesn't gather up 4 disciples approved by the system in a year, then the system is not going to be polite with him.

After making up his mind the gears in Lin Feng's mind started to turn rapidly: "The person Xiao Budian met is most likely just a small fry, should I go back to find him and directly eliminate him so as to avoid the cultivators of the Blaze Sword Sect coming to find us?"

After thinking Lin Feng still gave up on the plan of going back to trouble the dude. Lin Feng doesn't not know whether or not the red-robed youth is moving alone or if he has companions in the surroundings, in the end he still didn't plan on taking a risk.

Lin Feng knocked on Xiao Budian noggin: "You brat, do you still dare to run around from now on?" Xiao Budian scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed

Out of the mountains is a flat stretch of land, Lin Feng and Xiao Budian very quickly arrived at Wuzhou City.

Walking on the streets of Wuzhou City and looking at the endless stream of people Lin Feng's face revealed a smile. Arriving at this world for almost three months he's been in the mountains the entire time, it's been a long time since he's seen such a lively scenery.

Three months… Lin Feng lightly sighed, one quarter of the quest time has already passed and he has also only completed one quarter of the quest. There's still a long way to go.

Lin Feng pulled himself together and started asking about the Xiao family's location.

Even though Wuzhou City is located at the south-eastern frontier of the Great Qin Dynasty it is an important commercial city of south-eastern Qin. This place is close to the Boundless Mountains, the valuable medicines and animal skins, animal bones and other goods in the mountain are all distributed in Wuzhou City and then sold across the country of Great Qin.

The Xiao family that Xiao Yan is from can also be considered a big power in Wuzhou City, they control over one third of the the medicine trade in Wuzhou.

Of course, the Xiao family this kind of local power has no comparability to the Celeritas Sword Sect this kind of behemoth. After Xiao Yan transformed from a prodigy to trash it's also no wonder that Murong Yanran would come break off the engagement under the support of the sect.

The main point Lin Feng asked about was if anything big had happened to the Xiao family recently and if any outsiders came to the Xiao family.

When he heard that Murong Yanran and co. still hadn't visited, Lin Feng relaxed his mind and knew that he didn't arrive late.

Ye Ge fought with the old peach tree and was injured by the old peach tree. Looks like his injury is not light and requires a long time to recover. Murong Yanran most likely needs to wait for Ye Ge's injury to pretty much recover fully before coming to Wuzhou to end the engagement.

Right now Lin Feng is a bit hesitant. What if Ye Ge recuperates for like half a year or a year, do I wait like an idiot for him in Wuzhou City the whole time?

"First find a chance to see Xiao Yan in person and use the talent probe to test him.

In this Wuzhou City Xiao Yan could also be considered a famous person.

Started cultivating at age 8, reached Qi Disciple level 5 one year later, achieved Qi Disciple great perfection at age 12. Don't mention that this kind of cultivating speed is unprecedented in the history of the Xiao family and Wuzhou City, even in the entire Great Qin Dynasty he is also well known far and near.

The Xiao family may also be a cultivator family, but it is just a local power of Wuzhou City. The dao technique practised is just a third-rate level and Xiao Yan is able to have such astonishing accomplishments, if he practises a superior dao technique than his accomplishments will be even more limitless.

Rumours say that Xiao Yan's reputation even startled one of the 3 great holy lands, the Void Temple and that they prepared to send someone to test him and take him into the sect.

The youth at that time was confident and had a very promising future. Soon he was about to turn thirteen years of age and achieve the Foundation Establishment stage that countless cultivators might not be able to attain with their entire lives, furthermore becoming a disciple of a holy land, writing his own legend.

Such high and vigorous spirit! Such radiance!

But in the year the Xiao Yan was 12 years old the progression of the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

All of the mana of Xiao Yan who had already unlocked the 12 levels and was at the peak of the Qi Disciple stage suddenly vanished in a day's time. The nerve points that were originally already unlocked also resealed themselves one after another.

His Qi Disciple great perfection level bizarrely fell back to Qi Disciple level 1, Xiao Yan also instantly fell from the clouds to the ground.

The Void Temple that was rumored to come and observe him had no movement, the sounds of praise beside him turned into sighs, even malicious ridicule.

All of the people of Wuzhou City used a gaze of pity staring at that former prodigy fall from the sky.

After Xiao Budian at Lin Feng's side heard Xiao Yan's encounter he also had a gloomy face: "He also doesn't have it easy."

"Yeah, yeah." Lin Feng echoed without care, but his heart was burning with passion.

Holy shit, this is entirely a person chosen by the heavens, a main character template!

Even using your knees one can imagine that there is definitely a secret to Xiao Yan suddenly transforming from a prodigy to trash.

As they say, first suppress and then develop. Without suppression to the limit right now how can there be an explosion?

And that Murong Yanran visiting to humiliate him and break off the engagement is the critical point of the explosion. Once the marriage is annulled this Xiao Yan's situation should improve, from then on stepping of a golden path of being a beast and taking in all virgin girls. (TL: Don't ask me. Okay fine, you know those novels where the MC takes in like every girl he sees, yeah.)

Lin Feng calculated in his heart: "There is definitely some kind of reason to Xiao Yan transforming from a prodigy to trash. This thing is also usually the cheat to Xiao Yan rising up in the future, in other words… It is my competitor. "

Murong Yanran and co. still haven't arrived, Lin Feng still has time to calmly arrange things. After first finding a place to stay in the city and settling down Xiao Budian Lin Feng went nearby the Xiao family mansion.

Hanging around for a couples of days he did not see Xiao Yan and did not see the arrival of Murong Yanran, Lin Feng couldn't help but become anxious.

Lin Feng considered about directly visiting and acting like a master, first taking in Xiao Yan and not waiting for Murong Yanran to break off the engagement.

But like this there will be a lot of problems.

A more profound way of saying it is that without the matter of the marriage annulment there might not be a turning point to Xiao Yan's fate.

A more practical way is that without the marriage annulment matter, Xiao Yan's desire for strength won't be that urgent. His self-esteem will not be hurt and he will not be angered due to having his marriage broken off and humiliated.

Unlike Xiao Budian, Xiao Yan is already a 15 years old teen and has the most basic sense of judgement. If Lin Feng doesn't wait for him to be angered after the marriage annulment and lose his calm, he probably won't be that easy to fool.

After pondering Lin Feng decided it would be better for him to quietly wait for Murong Yanran to visit and then make his move.

While thinking the system's notification sound suddenly rang in his head: "Discovered target, suitable to become host's disciple."

Lin Feng was dazed for an instant: "Holy shit!" He hurriedly lifted his head, seeing a black-clothed teen walk out from the Xiao family mansion.

Seeing the black-clothed youth come out the street outside of the mansion became silent for an instant. Everybody's gaze flashed past the black-clothed teen and the sounds of whispers rose up, they were clearly all talking about the black-clothed teen.

The teen is handsome, his face is expressionless. Seeing the reactions of the people on the street the corners of his lips revealed a smile of slight self-mockery, his footsteps walking forward without stopping.

Lin Feng's gaze was focused on the black-clothed teen's body the entire time, the system notification sound rang in Lin Feng's head non-stop.

"Talent system has finished organizing, target number two's data is as so."

"Bone Root 8; Comprehension 9; Will 9; Luck 8."

"Conclusion: Target's talent in extremely high, recommended to take in as a disciple and carefully guide him, he will definitely become a pillar of the sect."

Lin Feng took a deep breath in, his face revealing a warm and sunny smile: "Number 2!"

His gaze started to search Xiao Yan's body. If there is some kind of cheat item, out of the need for convenience of carrying it is most like a ring, bracelet, necklace or something like that…

His hands, nothing.

His neck, hm, there's a string. On the string there are two rings, a very black appearance and very unassuming.

Lin Feng scratched his nose and smiled: "There is indeed a ring, and there's two. I can bet that inside there definitely lives an old grand… pa…"

Wait a sec, something doesn't seem right…

Two rings?

The fuck, what kind of situation is this.

Lin Feng's eyes were a bit dazed, his gaze blankly staring at the two rings in front of Xiao Yan's chest swinging and hitting together, releasing a low, crisp ring.

Report chapter

Only until Xiao Yan's figure gradually went away did Lin Feng return to his senses, hurriedly following over.

Xiao Yan actually has two rings, this is a situation that Lin Feng did not anticipate before. Lin Feng felt uneasy in his heart: "Could it be that Xiao Yan actually carries around two old grandpas with him?"

Fuck, coach, I want to make a report, this is entirely against the rules!

Maybe only one ring has an old grandpa and the other one is just a normal ring?

Lin Feng thought about it, this possibility is not impossible. Or even the two rings are both normal and there isn't an old grandpa in either?

Or maybe one has an old grandpa living in it and the other is hiding some kind of godly item or something like that.

A multitude of questions hovered in Lin Feng's mind making him puzzled. While thinking he had already followed behind Xiao Yan and arrived at the side of a small lake in the norther part of the city.

Lin Feng observed the surrounding scenery, there are very few people. Looks like this is that Xiao Yan's private area, when he's troubled he will come here to be by himself.

Remembering this place Lin Feng secretly nodded his head. After the marriage annulment Xiao Yan will most likely hide here by himself to lick his wounds, and then it's the debut of the old grandpa.

By the lake the black-clothed teen had his hands behind his head, his head resting on his hands and just lying down like that on the grass, a grass stalk dangling in his mouth and swaying.

Lin Feng stood far away looking at Xiao Yan, his expression uncertain.

Right now he started to seriously think about how to first take Xiao Yan as his disciple before Murong Yanran breaks off the engagement. Or else when the marriage annulment matter occurs, if he activates two old grandpas at once then the pressure would be too great.

Lin Feng was in the middle of thinking when he saw a couple of teenagers walk over towards Xiao Yan, from the looks of it they don't have good intention.

Secretly sighing Lin Feng shook his head with an expression of pity.

Don't get him wrong, he's not pitying Xiao Yan being bullied after falling from the sky, but instead sighing about those couple of people acting recklessly.

Yes, it's true that Xiao Yan is having bad luck right now and looks easy to bully, but it needs to be known that one must pay a price when bullying this kind of main character.

After the marriage annulment Xiao Yan will be instantly re-energized. At that time he'll be able to blow away hundreds of these little characters with a sneeze.

But not needing to wait for Xiao Yan to be re-energized, these people are unable to take advantage of him even right now.

For Lin Feng this is entirely an opportunity delivered straight to him.

Lowering his head checking his taoist robe and adjusting the taoist crown on his head, after confirming that his image was without flaw Lin Feng let out a dry cough and prepared to make his appearance.

"If you guys want to spar then Xiao Yan ge-ge doesn't need fight, Zhen Er play around with you guys." (TL: Zhen Er is the name of the girl that is talking. She refers to herself in third-person in this case. Also ge-ge means brother, the meaning here is like "oppa".)

Hearing this Lin Feng almost stepped on his taoist robe and fell over. He hastily stopped his footsteps and looked over, seeing a young girl wearing a purple dress beautifully standing in front of Xiao Yan, quietly staring at those people that were provoking Xiao Yan.

The girl's cold, indifferent aura was like a newly blossoming lotus. Such a young age but she already had the shape of a refined aura. It's hard to imagine how beautiful this girl will be when she grows up in the future.

Lin Feng who was watching far away also secretly praised her. This girl is already a stunning beauty at such a young age and is slightly superior to Murong Yanran, almost equal to that peach tree demon Long Ye. When this Zhen Er grows up a bit more she'll probably be able to rival Long Ye.

Only she really came at the wrong time.

Before Lin Feng had the time to feel regret he suddenly heard the system notification sound rise up: "Discovered target, suitable to become host's disciple."

"Hm? Could it be that my luck has taken a turn for the better?" Lin Feng was dazed for a moment and was then overjoyed. His gaze once again looked towards the purple-clothed girl like looking at a golden hen that can lay golden eggs.

"Talent system has finished organizing, target number 3's data is as so."

"Bone Root 9; Comprehension 8; Will 7; Luck 6."

"Conclusion: Target's talent in extremely high, recommended to take in as a disciple and carefully guide her, she will definitely become a pillar of the sect."

"Special Note: The target's current level is a stage higher than host's."

Lin Feng was listening cheerfully to the system notification sounds but when he heard the last sentence he became speechless.

A stage higher than me, isn't that a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?

Lin Feng swallowed his saliva, closely observing the purple-clothed girl. He saw that the mana in her body was abundant and formed a loop, as if it were inexhaustible, this is exactly the symbol of Qi Disciple level 12 great perfection.

Qi Disciple level 12 great perfection, the 12 nerve points are all unlocked and connected as one. The mana stored in the nerve points is no longer isolated as pools of dead water like before but has instead turned into a surging river, constantly circulating in the truth cultivator's body.

Generally speaking Qi Disciple level 12 cultivators are far stronger than Qi Disciple level 11 cultivators.

But Foundation Establishment stage is an entirely different concept. If Qi Disciple level 12 is a river, then Foundation Establishment stage is an ocean. The two cannot be compared.

Even though no matter how Lin Feng looked the purple-clothed girl was still a level of peak Qi Disciple, but since the system said she is Foundation Establishment stage Lin Feng still decided to believe it. Who knows if this little chick has some sort of means to hide her level.

Knowing that this girl has Foundation Establishment stage strength Lin Feng immediately got rid of his thought of trying to take her as his disciple in the recent future.

There's no other reason, this girl definitely has a big background.

Reaching Foundation Establishment stage at 13, 14 years of age, this kind of cultivating speed is even scarier than Xiao Yan's. The two people's bone root and comprehension aren't that different, that means this purple-clothed girl has obtained much better cultivating resources than Xiao Yan since she was little.

Before figuring out her background Lin Feng will not act rashly. Of course, she can be a long term target.

The focal point in the short term is still Xiao Yan this main character.

With the purple-clothed girl standing out the couple of teens attempting to provoke Xiao Yan could naturally only retreat. The group of people left the lake, cursing while walking.

"Really don't understand why Miss Zhen Er protects that trash."

"Exactly, it's practically inconceivable."

Lin Feng secretly laughed after listening. This Miss Zhen Er is 9 out of 10 the queen prepared for Xiao Yan this king. (TL: A lot of times when you see me translate the word into main character, the word is 真命天子, this term usually refers to the emperor or a female's destined one. Sometimes I also translate it as one chosen by the heavens when the author uses it and the word for main character in the same sentence.)

A deep background and she is able to bring help to Xiao Yan.

Her own talent is high and her cultivating speed can also keep up with Xiao Yan's advancing footsteps so she won't be sidelined.

Her personality is also good, gentle and strong, soft on the outside and tough on the inside, moreover she loves Xiao Yan to her very core…

Tut tut, this is practically the perfect main woman template.

While randomly think Lin Feng followed those teenagers, walking to a place that Xiao Yan and Zhen Er cannot see. Lin Feng asked smilingly: "That is the Xiao family prodigy that everybody in the city knows? How come he only knows how to hide under the skirts of women?"

Those teenagers were all stunned for a moment and then had the feeling of meeting a BFF, feeling that Lin Feng's sentence virtually said what was in their hearts.

One person sighed saying: "You don't understand, that's Miss Zhen Er keeping old friendships in mind. She and Xiao Yan grew up together so after Xiao Yan turned into trash she still protected him."

One of the teens beside him snorted coldly: "It's just that that trash is too thick-skinned, taking advantage of Miss Zhen Er. If I was him I'd have crawled into a hole long ago."

After laughing and going along with them for a couple lines he seemingly asked by chance: "Why is that Xiao Yan wearing a string around his neck with two rings on it? This is pretty interesting, it's my first time seeing that."

One of the teens curled his lips: "One is left to him by his father, one is left to him by his mother. His father and mother are both dead right now, we all say that those two rings are cursed. It's just Xiao Yan that still treats them like treasure and carries them around with him afraid to lose them."

After hearing this everything in front of Lin Feng went black.

Fuck, relics of his parents, there's no mistake this time. Double the heritage, double the opportunity, double the old grandpas…

Lin Feng turned around and left.

Of course he's not giving up on Xiao Yan, instead he needs to make more adequate preparations, he will not stop if he doesn't succeed.

So what if it's two old grandpas? The disciple is still mine!

Lin Feng left the lake and went to the market, buying a good dozen different kinds of animal milk.

Returning to his place Xiao Budian was sitting cross-legged, quietly doing his breathing technique.

The little guy may still like to play around, but he who has matured early is very serious in terms of cultivating, carrying a tenacity that regular people do not have and working extremely hard.

Lin Feng watched and secretly nodded his head. That clan brother of Xiao Buridan's has brought to Xiao Budian an enormous pressure.

Xiao Budian is in the middle of a meditating state. Lin Feng did not pay attention to him, going to sit at the side and taking out a crystal in the shape of a semi-circle recessed at the center, like the form of a big bowl.

This is the remaining stone shell left behind after Lin Feng cut it open and took out the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade. Even though it is not as valuable as the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade, it is still a type of natural treasure and harbors a large amount of thunder energy.

Being cut open by Lin Feng there were originally two pieces of the stone shell. One was left at Stone Village to help strengthen the bodies of the villagers and children of Stone Village, the other piece the old village elder insisted on Lin Feng to bring it along.

Lin Feng scraped off a little piece from the stone shell. These little crystal pieces can be used by Lin Feng as the materials for setting up the Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning, and it is also because of this stone shell that Lin Feng doesn't need to exchange for thunder crystals from the system, saving on additional expenses.

"Speaking of it, not only the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade, most likely even this stone shell was also originally a lucky treasure prepared for Xiao Budian." Lin Feng thought in his heart: "Taking Xiao Budian as my disciple this lucky opportunity has also become mine."

Putting away the scraped off crystal piece, Lin Feng placed the stone shell in front of him. Through his deliberate polishing the stone shell right now was already a large bowl, a large bowl grinded from an entire thunder crystal.

The animal milk that was placed in the kitchen to be heated up was also finished at this time. After the inn's waiter brought it in Lin Feng poured all of the animal milk into the big thunder crystal bowl. After thinking for a moment he then took out the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade.

The Heaven Thunder Moon Jade that was originally the size of a fist was now only the size of an egg after Lin Feng's constant use of it these past few days.

Lin Feng no longer prepared to absorb energy from within it again to help himself train, he needs to leave a portion to act as the Northern Aurora Sword's energy source.

But besides this he can also use it to add an extra meal for Xiao Budian.

Soaking the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade in the animal milk, Lin Feng used his own mana as a guide to assimilate a bit of thunder energy into the milk.

In the first place the thunder crystal bowl and the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade are from the same source. With the energy of the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade as a guide, the thunder energy in the big thunder crystal bowl also instantly flowed out and mixed into the animal milk in the bowl.

The milk white animal milk releasing a sweet milk fragrance instantly started tossing around like it was boiling. On the surface massive bubbles constantly rose up and then popped one after another.

Arcs of tiny blue and violet lightning shuttled and weaved in the milk, releasing crackling electrical current sounds.

At this time Xiao Budian finally finished training, waking up from his state of meditation. Just waking up his little nose took in two sniffs.

Xiao Budian opened his eyes. Seeing Lin Feng and the animal milk in the thunder crystal bowl he immediately let out a cry of joy: "Master!" He abruptly jumped up and went over to Lin Feng, circling around the big bowl, two big, black eyes staring straight at the animal milk and muttering: "Smells so good."

Lin Feng laughed, taking out the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade from the bowl and handing the bowl over to Xiao Budian. He warning him saying: "Master has added some extra ingredients into the milk, be careful when you drink it. Use your mana to guide the energy in the milk, if you feel uncomfortable stop right away."

Xiao Budian repeatedly nodded his head, taking over the bowl with a big smiling face and wolfing it down, drinking the bowl clean of animal milk in a moment.

Xiao Budian had a great time drinking it, but the side effects after drinking it also showed up.

Xiao Budian who was usually very cute transformed into a problem child, possessing a pair of big red eyes like a white rabbit and running around everywhere, yelling non-stop.

Lin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He'd already told the little guy that he has to use his mana to guide the energy in the milk while drinking it. But look at what this guy did, he only cared about eating happily and completely threw the matter of guiding the energy to the back of his head.

Seeing Xiao Budian transform into a tiny beast, barging around everywhere and messing things up, if Lin Feng doesn't stop him soon he'll demolish the entire inn.

Helplessly Lin Feng could only take action himself to stop Xiao Budian. When Xiao Budian woke up and saw his master's black face he immediately understood what happened. He scratched his head in a daze, saying in a tiny voice: "Eyah, I screwed up."

Being sent away by the inn's manager, Lin Feng angrily and amusingly poked Xiao Budian's tiny noggin: "When we captured maternal animals in the jungle you always jumped straight in and started drinking. Now we've arrived in the city, if you want to drink milk again then buy it at the market."

"After you've bought the animal milk you have to use this bowl to drink it, from now on this is your personal food bowl. Take care of your own food bowl."

Xiao Budian repeatedly nodded his head, happily hugging the thunder crystal bowl: "Thank you master."

Seeing his happy look Lin Feng also felt happy in his heart. After advising him a bit more Lin Feng crossed his legs and sat down.

Lin Feng carefully studied the uses of the Northern Aurora Sword along with Cloud Dragon Escape and Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning these two spells. In his mind he thought about how he can put the cards already in his hands to the greatest use.

…I am a dividing line…

At the edge of the Boundless Mountains a couple of fiery, crimson red lights flashed by, landing on the ground.

A dozen red-clothed people stood together, their entire bodies surged with mana. Blazing fire energy thrashed around without stop like a furnace, the grass shrubs beneath their feet and the surrounding ancient, towering trees all slowly withered from the heat.

Of the leading three people, the mana of two of them was as deep as the ocean, mighty and endless. They were Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

But right now these two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were both respectfully standing behind the other old man.

The old man has a head of red hair that is very showy, his appearance is very fierce but not a shred of his body reveals the aura of one with power, he is just like a regular human.

But behind the old man, all of the red-clothed people including the two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators are all using a gaze of reverence to look at him.

An aurous core big shot, even if not a shred of aura is revealed it is still enough to make everybody afraid.

Everybody's gaze looked in the distance outside of the mountains, that is the direction of Wuzhou City.

One of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators suddenly opened his mouth asking: "You're certain they left the mountains?"

One of the people behind him stood out and bowed. It was precisely the red-robed youth that Xiao Budian tricked before. He replied respectfully: "According to the traces that they left behind they were indeed heading outside of the mountains."

A fiery light flickered in the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's eyes. He looked towards the direction of Wuzhou City: "Exiting the mountains from here the closest big city is Wuzhou City. We'll go check out over there first."

The red-robed youth hesitated for a moment and asked: "Even though Wuzhou is located at the border, from the geography it is closer to the Celeritas Sword Sect's territory…"

The other Foundation Establishment stage cultivator waved his hands: "If that kid really does possess the talent that you say he has, then even if it's the Mt. Shu Sword Sect's territory we still need to give it a go…"

The red-haired old man that did not speak the entire time suddenly opened his mouth saying: "Enough with the nonsense. Let's go, our target is Wuzhou!" Before his voice had even died away he patted the flying sword on his back, the sword aura that was already like a burning fire charged into the sky.

The group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators all followed closely behind him, one after another streaks of fiery red light soared across the sky like meteors, rushing towards Wuzhou City.

…I am a dividing line…

At the same time, Lin Feng was quietly meditating in an inn in Wuzhou City when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Lin Feng opened the room door, the waiter was standing outside of the door with a fawning smile. Seeing Lin Feng he said with a smile: "Sir, didn't you tell me to pay attention to anything interesting that happens in the city and to tell you at the first moment? Well there really is something now."

Lin Feng smiled lightly, casually throwing a piece of silver to him. The waiter instantly became overjoyed, he didn't dare to keep Lin Feng guessing and hurriedly said: "You know how the Xiao family's young master Xiao Yan can no longer cultivate? Before when he was still a cultivating prodigy he had a marriage engagement, now the female side has come knocking on the door!"

Murong Yanran has finally arrive at Wuzhou.

Report chapter

Lin Feng sent away the waiter with an indifferent expression. Closing the door he could no longer control his smile, a smile blossoming on his face.

Murong Yanran has arrived at Wuzhou City, the legendary marriage annulment is finally about to happen.

Lin Feng turned his head towards Xiao Budian and said: "Silly boy, come with master."

Xiao Budian's big, black eyes started turning: "Master, where are we going?"

Lin Feng smiled saying: "Originally you were about to have your first junior, but you volunteered to be the smallest so you're about to have your first senior."

Bringing along Xiao Budian Lin Feng arrived at the side of the little lake that Xiao Yan comes to regularly. He spread the polished thunder crystals on the grassfield beside the lake in the pattern of a formation to set up the magic formation for activating the Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning.

Even though based on Lin Feng's plan he doesn't necessarily have to fight, but you always need to prepare for everything.

Finishing doing everything Lin Feng brought along Xiao Budian and headed towards the Xiao family's mansion.

When they arrived outside of the mansion they just perfectly saw Xiao Yan in his body of black clothes walk out from the door.

The black-clothed teen stopped his footsteps but did not look back, only spitting out a cold line.

"Three years later I will find you!"

The teen's shadow was stretched out extremely long under the illumination of the sun. He looks lonely and desolate.

At the big door behind him you can see Murong Yanran's small mouth slightly opened, staring at Xiao Yan's back a bit blankly. In the young girl's hand she is holding a contract that is shaking as if about to fall, seemingly becoming as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Finishing speaking Xiao Yan walked out of the door by himself.

"Since you guy's have already reached your goal then please leave now." An old voice came from within the yard, that is the Xiao family's clan leader, Xiao Yan's grandfather.

"Grandpa Xiao, Yanran apologizes to you for the matter today. If you have time in the future please visit the Murong family!"

Her goal has already been reached and Murong Yanran also doesn't want to stay any longer, she left the Xiao family's mansion together with the white-robed youth and Ye Ge.

"The young lady of the Murong family, I hope that in the future you will not feel regret due to your pompous actions today. In addition, don't think that you can do whatever you want because you have the Celeritas Sword Sect at your back. The Heaven Primal world is very big, forces stronger than the Celeritas Sword Sect are also not in the little…" The moment that Murong Yanran and co. were about to walk out of the door a brisk voice carrying a slight coldness suddenly rose up.

The three people's footsteps abruptly stopped, turning their heads and looking over.

Xiao Zhener was beautifully standing on top of the walls of the mansion, rays of sunlight shone past her back just perfectly wrapping her within it. From far away she is like a violet lotus flower blossoming in the mundane world, pure and graceful, not dirtied by this world…

Lin Feng also praised Xiao Zhener's charm, but in his heart he was secretly delighted: "The good and the bad between the people is too obvious, I don't even need to think about how to take you as a disciple. Once I take in Xiao Yan then you'll also be in my palms."

Facing the gazes of Murong Yanran and co., a slender golden flame suddenly appeared in the girl's beautiful, limpid eyes.

Looking at the tiny golden fire in the girl's eyes Ye Ge's body violently shook for an instant, a terrified expression covered his old face in an instant. In a panic his dried hands grabbed onto Murong Yanran and the white-robed youth who were in the middle of being puzzled and then running for his life.

Looking at Ye Ge's actions, besides the Xiao family's old clan leader everybody else couldn't help but have a dumbfounded expression.

Lin Feng felt a jolt in his heart: "Even if she is already at Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age she still shouldn't frighten so badly Ye Ge who is also at the Foundation Establishment stage. Looks likes there's something strange about the golden flame in her eyes just now…"

"This chick's background is odd, based on the routine if she isn't the holy maiden of an ancient clan then she is the princess of some sort of big country. If I'm wrong then I'll write my name backwards."

Lin Feng was secretly glad that he didn't rashly go and mess with this little girl whose background is suspected to be extremely terrifying.

Let's just take in Xiao Yan first and then talk about it. Everything has already demonstrated that this little girl will definitely follow to wherever Xiao Yan goes. When Xiao Yan becomes my disciple then Xiao Zhener won't be far away.

When doing something one has to be good at grasping the principal contradiction.

While thinking Lin Feng brought Xiao Budian and quietly left the Xiao family's mansion, chasing after Xiao Yan following the direction he left.

Xiao Yan at this time will definitely go to the little lake at the northern part of the city and lick his wounds.

Sure enough in a bit Lin Feng had already caught up to Xiao Yan.

The black-clothed teen right now is like an injured lone wolf, his entire body is emitting a cold, unwelcoming aura.

"Hehe, strength… Without strength you're even worse than a pile of dogshit. At least no one dares to step on dogshit!" His shoulders lightly trembling, the teen's hoarse and self-mocking laughter lingered in the air carrying an air of grief and anger.

Xiao Yan's teeth tightly bit his lips, allowing that faint blood to spread at the corners of his lips. Even though he did not display any inappropriate emotions in the hall, the words that Murong Yanran said were like blades cutting into his heart making his entire body shake.

"Dad, mom…"

Grabbing the two rings in front of his chest hanging on a string, Xiao Yan's expression was sad.

His mother died of sickness many years ago, three years ago his father was seriously injured in a fight and died in the end only leaving these two rings to him.

Before his father died Xiao Yan once swore that he would definitely become a powerful truth cultivator and get revenge for his father.

But who knew that after just swearing his oath a day before, a great change happened to his body and he transformed from a prodigy into trash. After this no matter how hard he worked he was only able march on the spot at Qi Disciple level 1.

"I must not give up, for father, for mother and for today!" Opening his left hand that has a bloodstain on it, Xiao Yan's voice was hoarse but firm: "I don't want to suffer again the humiliation today!"

In the front, Xiao Yan was walking while setting his determination while behind him Lin Feng was watching with his blood boiling.

Sure enough, after the marriage annulment this kid's SEED factor explodes. Just looking from the side it feels like his body is harbouring an endless aura of domination, like a surging river about to flood the lands. (TL: SEED factor, gundam seed destiny, google it)

Seeing that the old grandpas in those two rings still didn't have any movement Lin Feng did not dare to have any hesitation, walking forward and blocking in front of Xiao Yan.

Are you kidding me, those guys are being carried around everywhere by a main character, they are in a favorable position. If I don't grasp hold of the chance I won't even be able to get any soup.

Nowadays you also need to fight for the post of old grandpa.

"Hehe, kid, looks like you need some help?"

Lin Feng casually said with a light chuckle.

Xiao Yan looked with a stunned expression at the youthful daoist wearing white daoist robes and a daoist crown in front of him. After being stunned for a moment he wrinkled his brows asking: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Lin Feng laughed coolly: "There is no rush in asking who I am, don't you think that the problem you should be caring about the most is why you've reached such a stage?"

Xiao Yan's gaze immediately became as cold as a blade: "You know?" Beneath his cold gaze was a blazing fire.

Lin Feng let out a long laugh: "Follow me and you will naturally know all of the details."

Finishing speaking Lin Feng used the ability of Cloud Dragon Escape, grabbing Xiao Yan and flying into the air, flying towards the little lake at the northern part of the city.

Xiao Yan was greatly startled but right now his level is only Qi Disciple level 1, he is simply unable to break free from Lin Feng's hand. He calmed down and started observing, immediately being struck with awe in his heart.

Using Cloud Dragon Escape it was like Lin Feng had turned into a preeminent divine dragon outside of the heavens soaring in the clouds.

A divine dragon, when it moves, it soars above the nine heavens, when hidden, it roams within the four seas. It's breath becomes clouds, it's spit becomes rain, controlling the winds and thunder with endless might.

The essence and spirit of Cloud Dragon Escape was displayed perfectly by Lin Feng.

But what made Xiao Yan the most shocked was still Xiao Budian who looks to be only 3, 4 years of age and following closely behind Lin Feng.

"Master, wait for me." Xiao Budian was also using the body movements of Cloud Dragon Escape. His doll-like appearance also carried a sort of a heavenly aura like an immortal, making him look even more remarkable.

Xiao Yan has seen many Qi Disciple level 4 truth cultivators, but kids that are able to reach a level of Qi Disciple level 4 at Xiao Budian's age, don't mention seeing it, Xiao Yan has never even heard of it before.

Xiao Yan did not feel much pressure from Lin Feng. The feeling that Lin Feng gave him was like a completely normal person that hasn't practised any dao techniques.

But it is exactly this young daoist wearing a white daoist robe with a daoist crown that produced Xiao Budian. Being able to produce such an outstanding disciple his own level naturally can't be too low and especially can't be a normal human.

Then there's only one explanation left. This seemingly young daoist has already reached the level of returning to one's original nature which is why he cannot see through him.

"Maybe… He really does know what's wrong with my body?" Xiao Yan couldn't resist thinking.

Lin Feng wasn't clear about Xiao Yan's psychological state, but seeing his expression he knows that he has already successfully established the image of a master in Xiao Yan's heart.

This is precisely the reason why he wanted to bring Xiao Budian along.

He had no choice, this kid was honestly too outstanding of an advertisement. He fully displayed to the outer world the results of Lin Feng's teachings. Sometimes Lin Feng himself also rejoices about him encountering Xiao Budian the earliest. This will directly reduce the difficulty in the future of him tricking people to be his disciple.

Reaching the lakeside in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng put down Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Budian and then looked at Lin Feng, asking after taking a deep breath: "Please tell me senior, exactly what is wrong with my body?"

Lin Feng smiled lightly, extending his finger and lightly tapping Xiao Yan's chest: "Your problem is in these two rings!"

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

"Your problem lies in these two rings."

Lin Feng smiled lightly, his finger lightly tapping the two rings hanging before Xiao Yan's chest.

Xiao Yan's expression became a bit cold: "This senior also believes that there is a curse on these two rings of mine?"

Towards Xiao Yan's change in expression Lin Feng treated it like he didn't see it, his tone suddenly changing: "But these two rings of yours have nothing to do with curses. Instead of saying that the massive change in your body is a natural disaster, it would be better to say that it is man-made disaster."

"Man-made disaster?" Xiao Yan was slightly confused, and then closely following his face became extremely somber: "Senior is saying that someone is deliberately harming me? It's definitely not my parents… Then that means even the death of my parents is also related to the person harming me?"

Lin Feng secretly gave a big thumbs up in his heart: "Good kid, nice connection, you have a bright future!"

He waved his hands, casually looking at Xiao Xan's small, overcast face: "Right now I cannot lay claim to whether or not the deaths of your parents have something to do with these rings, but the massive change in your body is precisely the result caused by these two rings."

"In the rings there lives spirits, these spirits are constantly absorbing your mana to strengthen themselves." Lin Feng slowly said, his voice was calm but it weighed on Xiao Yan's heart like a massive mountain: "This is the reason why your level suddenly regressed three years ago. This is also the crux of the matter as to why even though you also trained hard in the three years afterwards, you didn't obtain any advancements."

"Because the mana you trained hard for to obtain all became the nourishment of the spirits!"

Xiao Yan lowered his head looking towards the two rings at his chest, his dazed expression slowly revealing hatred.

Looking at the change in his expression Lin Feng let out a breath of relief in his heart, secretly laughing.

"This is what's called a preemptive strike!"

Putting you guys in the role of the villain first, let's see how you guys fight with me?

Didn't you guys think that you guys were in a favourable position? Still there putting on noble and magnificent airs, waiting for Xiao Yan to come and beg you guys? Are you dumbfounded now?

Lin Feng was complacent in his heart, he was not framing people. Maybe those old grandpas in the rings can help Xiao Yan soar to success, but it is also most likely them that caused Xiao Yan to fall from the clouds before.

Without the addition of Lin Feng they would naturally be able to trick Xiao Yan and use large amounts of techniques and medicines to atone for themselves. But now with Lin Feng's preemptive strike and not giving them a chance to fix things, all that remains between them and Xiao Yan is hatred.

At the same time as being smug Lin Feng was also secretly on guard, next up he might have to go head on against the old grandpas in the rings.

Lin Feng lifted his head glancing at the sky. Summer's weather is like a child's mood, changing without notice, before it was still bright and sunny, now it is already cloudy and overcast with rolling thunder.

Lin Feng breathed a slight breath of relief in his heart: "Good thing the weather changed or else Nine Heaven Thunder Summoning wouldn't be able to exert its full power. Now, I have enough cards up my sleeves to play with you guys."

Arriving at the point where the only thing that remains is a crippled soul and living in a ring waiting to be the old grandpa for people, regardless of how great their backgrounds were in the past and how powerful their strength was, right now they are still in an extremely weakened state.

The eastern wind blows, the war drums sound, we're all old grandpas who's afraid of who?

Right when Xiao Yan was grinding his teeth and grabbing the rings at his chest, a long, soft sigh rose up beside his and Lin Feng's ears.

"If not for your sacrifice I don't know how much longer I'd have to sleep for."

Xiao Yan blankly stared at the ring in his hand. A white mist of light surfaced on the ring gradually forming a human figure in the air, from hazy to clear, in the end becoming intricately detailed and vivid.

Lin Feng also stared at the figure of light blankly. Accurately speaking, since the person's voice rose up Lin Feng had already descended into a blank state.

Because that is clearly a woman's voice!

… It's not an old grandpa but an old grandma?

Lin Feng's mind was in a bit of a mess. Looking closely at the figure of light, saything that she is an old grandma is undoubtedly a bit rude.

This is an extremely beautiful woman, a light green long gown blowing with the wind. She possesses an indescribable elegance, gazing at the clear stream from above with a calm composure.

The green-gowned woman's eyes turned, her gaze landing on Lin Feng's body after only taking a glance at Xiao Yan.

Looking at her, a literary work that he had read in his past life suddenly appeared in Lin Feng's mind, "On the Goddess of Luo River": Her body soars lightly like a startled swan, gracefully like a dragon in flight, in splendor brighter than the autumn chrysanthemum, in bloom more flourishing than the pine in the spring. Dim as the moon mantled in filmy clouds, restless as snow whirled by the driving wind.

"This is the feeling of Cao Zhi when he first saw the Goddess of Luo River?" Lin Feng's mind thought randomly, but in his heart there sounded the highest-level of alert. (TL: Cao Zhi is the brother of Cao Cao and a famous poet.)

Compared to the green-gowned woman's beauty, Murong Yanran lacks composure and Xiao Zhen appears a bit too young. Of all the people that Lin Feng has seen in his life there is probably only that peach tree demon Long Ye that can compare to her.

Long Ye and her are both fine blossoms in their season, equally matched.

But just like when he faced Long Ye before, facing this stunning beauty right now Lin Feng could not muster up a single shred of passion in his heart, on the contrary his heart felt a bit cold. This green-gowned woman's danger level is definitely at the level as Long Ye.

Maybe spending everyday with Xiao Zhener and growing up with her trained Xiao Yan's outlook. Right now Xiao Yan also has no thoughts of praise or admiration, instead staring at the green-gowned woman with a face of hostility.

"Sacrifice?" Xiao Yan's tone was deathly cold: "The change in my body is really your doing?"

The green-gowned woman lightly sighed: "Mingyue also had no choice, please do not blame me." (TL: Mingyue is the name of the woman speaking, her full name is 燕明月, Yan Mingyue, mingyue means bright moon and her surname means swallow (bird))

"I don't blame you… Fuck you!" Xiao Yan could no longer hold back, tugging apart the string around his neck and throwing out the ring the green-robed woman's figure of light takes shelter in. (TL: For the fuck you part, directly translated he says something like "I blame fuck you", in Chinese it sounds like I blame your mom)

The ring strangely stopped in mid-air, just silently floating in the air like that. After slightly shaking the projected figure of light re-stabilized itself.

The green-gowned woman lightly sighed: "Mingyue can understand that you are mad, but please note that the other ring you are wearing is actually the true source of your misfortune these past three years.

While speaking her gaze looked towards Lin Feng: "This fellow daoist has eyes like a torch that pierces through the dark, the mana that Xiao Yan painstakingly cultivated these past three years was indeed absorbed by me, for this I express my deep apologies."

"But the misfortune three years ago of Xiao Yan regressing from Qi Disciple great perfection to Qi Disciple level one has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Yan's face was cold like a pool of frozen water, looking at the green-gowned woman and then looking at Lin Feng, in the end his gaze landing on the second ring in his hand.

Lin Feng's expression was indifferent as if everything was in his control, outsiders could not tell what he was truly thinking from his expression.

But in actuality the sense of crisis in Lin Feng's heart was becoming increasingly more serious.

This woman is not easy to deal with, with just a few short lines not only did she get rid of the majority of her responsibility, she also obtained the leading position in the conversation making Xiao Yan's attention start to follow her rhythm

The green-gowned woman calmly stared at Lin Feng and Xiao Yan: "In that ring there lives the crippled soul of an ancient beast, a Taotie."

"Taotie?" Xiao Yan was shocked. In legends Tao Tie is one of the ancient four great fiends, known together with Hundun, Qiongqi and Taowu as the king of fiends. (TL: These will appear in the future with descriptions but you can google them if you want.)

Tao Tie's nature is avarice, devouring all. At their peak they can even swallow the heavens and devour the earth, destroying all life.

Even great Primordial Spirit cultivators get a headache if they encounter this kind of fierce beast. All attacks against Tao Tie will be swallowed by it with its large mouth, being so savage and gluttonous it is truly difficult to deal with.

Lin Feng also slightly wrinkled his brows, looking towards the second ring in Xiao Yan's hands.

The green-gowned woman continued saying: "10 years ago due to being seriously injured, I was forced to place my soul in this ring of yours. After that I was asleep the whole time until three years ago when I discovered that Taotie had devoured all of your mana and even wanted to devour your life force."

"I used the Heaven Cage Sigil to seal that Tao Tie's soul but my own soul had expended too much energy and was forced to enter a deep sleep again." The green-gowned woman had an apologetic expression: "It is also in the process of this second deep sleep that I unconsciously absorbed the new mana that you cultivated to repair my soul, and yet this created trouble for you, please forgive me."

Even though Xiao Yan had a face of doubt, his expression had clearly already softened down.

The expression on Lin Feng's face didn't change, but his heart became increasingly heavier

Especially when he flipped through the trading system and found the ability of the Heaven Cage Sigil, after he saw the description of it his heart sank to the bottom.

Heaven Cage Sigil, a sigil using one's own mana to set down a cage, sealing the mana of others, against spiritual targets the effect is increased.

Note: A unique esoteric ability of the number 1 sect in Heaven Primal's cultivating world, the leader of the three great holy lands the Void Temple!

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

When Lin Feng discovered that the green-gowned woman's background is the Void Temple his heart suddenly sank.

In this Heaven Primal world even women and children know that the strongest three sects are the daoist holy land the Void Temple, the buddhist holy land the Great Thunder Monastery and the holy land of the way of the sword the Mt. Shu Sword Sect.

But even the Great Thunder Monastery and the Mt. Shu Sword Sect, they may not say it but in their hearts they have to admit that there is also a distinction between the three great holy lands. And the Void Temple is undoubtedly the head of the three great holy lands, the number one sect in the world.

Different from the two holy lands having many followers and disciples all across the land, the Void Temple is actually very low-profile and its number of disciples is also not high. But as long as there are disciples of the Void Temple entering the world it will definitely shake the entire world.

The Void Temple walks the elite path in taking disciples, their threshold is ridiculously high. The disciples taken in are all extremely talented cultivating prodigies.

Not considering other aspects, just speaking of bone root and comprehension the average value of the Void Temple's disciples is definitely number one in the world. Without exaggeration that place has the highest density of the Heaven Primal world's cultivating prodigies.

The Void Temple's dao techniques and abilities are also famous throughout Heaven Primal, their supreme taoist scripture "Profundity of the Void Dao" is hailed as the dao technique closest to the way of the heavens. As long as it is practised one is guaranteed to achieve the great realm of Primordial Spirit.

Moreover the Heaven Cage Sigil is the Void Temple's signature spell, its name is widespread in the cultivating world.

Even Xiao Yan thought of the Heaven Cage Sigil's origins after a short period of confusion, unable to help but be surprised: "Did you just say the Heaven Cage Sigil? You're a disciple of the Void Temple?"

The green-gowned woman lightly nodded her head: "My name is Yan Mingyue, my sect is precisely the Void Temple."

Xiao Yan's expression became complicated and a bit saddened: "The Void Temple…"

Lin Feng was bitter in the mouth, he thought of the numerous rumours related to Xiao Yan in Wuzhou City, one of which is that when Xiao Yan displayed astounding talent in that past he once caught the attention of the Void Temple and they had intentions of taking in Xiao Yan.

Looking at Xiao Yan's expression right now you can tell that this rumour is real.

Even using his toes to think Lin Feng understands Xiao Yan's current feelings. After all, that is the publically acknowledge number one holy land in the world. Being able to become a disciple of the Void Temple, not only does Xiao Yan himself step upon a brilliant path of cultivation, even the entire Xiao family will gain prestige and honour.

And afterwards Xiao Yan suddenly changed from a prodigy to a scrub, thus the Void Temple brushed past his shoulders. What you cannot have is always the best, the Void Temple might have become a knot in his heart, a massive regret.

Even worse it might also involve the regrets of his deceased parents, such as "Even until death we did not get to see our son become a disciple of the Void Temple" and other such words.

Under this kind of circumstance, if there is a new chance to enter into the Void Temple placed in front of Xiao Yan, how will he choose?

Lin Feng was a bit afraid to think any further…

"So what if it's the Void Temple? So what if it's the number one holy land?" Lin Feng steeled his heart: "If I get this Xiao Yan I might even be able to catch a Xiao Zhener, missing this kind of amazing buy one get one free deal is sacrilegious!"

Lin Feng closely observed her and discovered that Yan Mingyue's tone of voice is calm and composed, her gaze looking at Xiao Yan is apologetic but not fervent.

Yan Mingyue's expression does not look faked, this means that she is only apologetic towards Xiao Yan and might refer Xiao Yan into the Void Temple out of compensation. But she does not think highly of Xiao Yan's talent and is not determined to take him as her disciple.

It's not surprising. She comes from the Void Temple, since she was little she grew up in a pile of prodigies, what kind of astounding prodigies has she not seen? She herself is probably a cultivating genius with shocking talent.

Since it's like this it's given Lin Feng an opportunity. Lin Feng pondered non-stop in his heart, suddenly a thought flashed across in his mind.

Lin Feng's face revealed a warm smile like a ray of sunlight, his gaze turning towards Xiao Yan beside him.

"Taotie? It's really been a long time since I last saw one…" Lin Feng's gaze sized up the second ring in Xiao Yan's palm, the corners of his lips revealing an interesting smile.

Xiao Yan blanked, Yan Mingyue's gaze also looked towards Lin Feng, her eyes flashing a difficult to understand brilliance.

"This fellow daoist has seen a living pure-blooded Taotie before?" Yan Mingyue stared at Lin Feng, her red lips lightly opening: "How do you call yourself?"

Lin Feng lightly smiled: "I am but a humble man from the mountains, my name is not worth mentioning. My surname is Lin, you can just call me Daoist Lin."

Finishing speaking, not waiting for Yan Mingyue to respond Lin Feng followed saying: "Just now I heard fellow daoist Yan mention that ten years ago you were injured and then took shelter in this ring, right?"

Right now Lin Feng has to take back the initiative of this conversation, he absolutely cannot give Yan Mingyue a chance. He cannot allow her to mention the matter of referring Xiao Yan to the Void Temple as compensation or else Xiao Yan will immediately lower his head and bow down, then it'll be none of Lin Feng's business anymore.

Yan Mingyue glanced at Lin Feng, this glance seemed to see right into his heart. Maybe she doesn't know exactly what Lin Feng is thinking, but she clearly sees Lin Feng's intent of controlling the initiative of the conversation.

Lin Feng's expression was normal but the back of his palms were already sweating. This woman is too clever, it's like she can see through the hearts of people. She is clearly as calm as water without any aggressive intentions but she brings to Lin Feng pressure as big as a mountain.

Although luckily Yan Mingyue did not continue probing, only calmly nodding her head: "It was indeed ten years ago."

Due to the protection of the system she cannot see the depths of Lin Feng's level, but in this world the number of people that can make her unable to see through them is honestly too little. Due to this even though it's their first time meeting, Yan Mingyue's attitude towards Lin Feng displayed a certain degree of respect.

Lin Feng nodded his head: "Not long ago I once met a demon, that demon was evidently also gravely injured and was forced to place its spirit in an old peach tree."

Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng a bit strangely, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned this seemingly unrelated topic.

Yan Mingyue's expression did not change, only silently looking at Lin Feng and waiting for the next part.

Lin Feng lifted his eyes and looked straight at her eyes, the gazes of the two people were both calm and distant. Lin Feng said coolly: "According to the locals that demon also suddenly appeared ten years ago. Oh right, it's a female demon."

A change finally occurred in Yan Mingyue's expression, lowering her eyes, her thin, long eyelashes slightly trembling: "Does this fellow daoist know that female demon's origins?"

Lin Feng shook his head and then looked at her, pausing after each word and saying: "I only know she calls herself Long Ye."

Yan Mingyue's face revealed a slight smile, her gaze looking towards the distant but without focus.

After a long while she let out a long sigh: "I didn't die and sure enough she didn't die either…"

Yan Mingyue turned her head towards Lin Feng, saying seriously: "Thank you fellow daoist for telling me this news, do you know the whereabouts of that Long Ye?"

In his heart Lin Feng said he didn't know, but once that female demon recovers she's most likely going to come and find my trouble.

He lightly shook his head: "This I do not know."

While he spoke Lin Feng was always closely observing Yan Mingyue, paying attention to every little change in her expression.

After she heard the news that Long Ye is still alive, Yan Mingyue's two eyes as brilliant as the bright moon were dyed with a hint of melancholy, even revealing slight anxiety.

Lin Feng let out a long breath of relief in his heart, he knows that he made the right gamble.

This Yan Mingyue and that Long Yue are your standard arch-rival relationship, it could very likely be some sort of daoist holy maiden versus demon holy maiden drama.

The beauty, talent and dao techniques of these two people are all at the same level, they mutually admire and understand each other but they are also in a life and death opposition. There exists an irreconcilable conflict entangling them for their entire lives, playing out an act of love and hatred… Wrong, it's a good show of frenemies.

… Generally speaking they might even fall in love with the same main character? (TL: I thought this was foreshadow… but 1353 chapters in and I've still got nothing… It's not like I need romance but I do like a good bit of romance in my novels.)

But that's not important, what's important is that after hearing Long Ye's news Yan Mingyue was sure enough not calm.

Even though her ability to maintain composure and keep calm is not bad, Lin Feng can still tell that right now she wishes that she can immediately find Long Ye and fight another 300 rounds with her.

Under this kind of circumstance she shouldn't still be thinking about compensating Xiao Yan, right?

At the very least it's no longer the most important matter.

Lin Feng decided to add some more wood to the fire, and so he opened his mouth asking: "Fellow daoist Yan, you have lost your physical body with just your soul remaining residing in this ring, it's probably very inconvenient for you to move, right?"

Yan Mingyue's eyes flashed. After taking a deep look at Lin Feng she said openly: "I have a way to reconstruct my physical body. it's just that before it I need to make a lot of preparations. During this period I do indeed need to continue taking shelter in this ring, or else even though it won't harm my soul I will lose my mana for nothing."

Looking at Yan Mingyue who had already completed recovered her composure, alarms went off in Lin Feng's mind, he did not dare to relax at the slightest.

Seeing Yan Mingyue speak openly Lin Feng also did not speak in circles, directly saying: "I might be able to help you."

Finishing speaking Lin Feng took out the spirit calming grass. Seeing it Yan Mingyue immediately recognized it: "Spirit calming grass? The main ingredient of the soul anchoring pill. With the soul anchoring pill I can indeed leave the ring and stabilize my soul, traveling ten thousand miles during the day is not out of the question."

She took a deep look at Lin Feng and then suddenly did not speak anymore, instead using her mana to transmit her voice to Lin Feng, not letting Xiao Yan hear.

"Fellow daoist, the reason you are trying so hard, is it for this Xiao Yan?"

In an instant Lin Feng felt his heart stop for half a beat.

Since they met Yan Mingyue has always displayed a very polite, peaceful and calm mannerism.

She comes from the world's number 1 holy land but is easy to approach, without a single shred of a high-up, almighty feeling.

Right now she has fallen into trouble but she does not have any sort of feeling like she is in a difficult position, instead she is as calm as the wind, as if everything is within her control.

But Lin Feng can sharply sense that this Yan Mingyue who appears humble and kind, has a pride within her that goes deep into her soul.

On the appearance she is easy to approach but her soul is prideful, it is very easy for people to develop a misconception of her on first contact.

This is a person whose mind and heart are extremely strong, strong to the point that she neglects the trivial matters, she simply does not care about the opinions of others.

Her pride is not belittlement, it is not arrogance and it is not conceitment. The exact opposite, her pride is her friendliness, her politeness and her patience.

Why? Because in her knowledge, you are inferior to me, so I am polite towards you, I will not think over your rudeness, I will especially patiently guide you.

In her heart she assumes preemptively that the other side is inferior to her, she will not become angered due to the rudeness of others and will not look down on someone because of it. She will only think that the other side's level is too low, unable to comprehend her.

Like how humans won't pay attention to the provocations of creatures like snakes, insects, rats and ants, will people think that this is pride? No, everyone will think that this is natural, and this is Yan Mingyue's mentality.

In the conversation before, regardless if it was against Xiao Yan who is just qi disciple level 1 or Lin Feng whom she cannot see through, Yan Mingyue's appearance was always very calm, practically not like one favoured by the heavens who comes from the world's number 1 holy land and once roamed freely in the world.

But right now she is not holding back, pointing straight to the bottom of Lin Feng's heart with one sentence, straightforward and sharp.

At the same time that he is shocked in his heart Lin Feng is also a bit excited. Yan Mingyue's change in behaviour shows that she's put away her pride and put Lin Feng at the same level as herself.

"The more it's these kinds of times the calmer one has to be." Lin Feng calmed down his state of mind, casually saying: "I am but a humble man from the mountains, naturally I cannot compare to the Void Temple. It is truly quite difficult to find a couple of successors."

"So I ask that you please step down, I would be very grateful."

Since the other side has already made things clear, Lin Feng also openly admitted.

Only, even though he's praising the Void Temple, Lin Feng's tone is calm and natural, clearly placing both sides on the same level.

The more he's like this the more Yan Mingyue is instead unable to grasp his bottom line. After slightly pondering for a moment Yan Mingyue finally decided give him a favour, not using her mana to transmit her voice anymore and opening her mouth saying: "If it's like so than I thank you for your spirit calming grass."

Lin Feng smiled faintly nodding his head, turning his head towards Xiao Yan beside him.

Xiao Yan also calmed down at this moment, his gaze looking at Yan Mingyue extremely complicated.

Yan Mingyue stared at the second ring in Xiao Yan's hand, lightly saying: "The Heaven Cage Sigil I planted before is already greatly weakened, the taotie's remnant spirit could awaken at any moment. It's better if Xiao Yan does not carry this ring around with him."

Yet while speaking her gaze looked towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng instantly understood that Yan Mingyue wants him to take action to help deal with the remnant taotie spirit in the ring. Like this Xiao Yan will be increasingly grateful and Lin Feng taking him in as a disciple will be even more natural.

Looking at this from another angle, is this not also another of Yan Mingyue's tests targeted at him?

Lin Feng secretly cursed in his heart, this woman really isn't a slouch. But admittedly if Lin Feng really can smoothly and cleanly deal with the remnant taotie spirit he'll be able to display his strength before Xiao Yan and attract him to become his disciple.

Everything depends on if Lin Feng has any real skill. If he does then this is a good thing without any harm, Yan Mingyue clearly did him a great favour.

If he doesn't have any skill then he'll reveal his true form, naturally there won't be anything to say.

Yan Mingyue stared at Lin Feng with the shadow of a smile on her face, surprisingly carrying a few hints of the mischievous expression of a little girl and giving Lin Feng a massive headache.

"Birds of the same feather with that Long Ye, both of them aren't good birds. Serves you guys right to go down together. Why didn't you guy's perish together and let the world be rid of two disasters!"

Lin Feng secretly cursed in his heart but on the surface he was still the appearance of an enigmatic master, saying with a smile: "Small case, leave it to me."

While speaking Lin Feng unceremoniously took the ring from Xiao Yan's hand.

The more it's at these kinds of times the more one has to not act diffidently. He cannot reveal his true situation.

Lin Feng took over the ring and sent his mana into it, his consciousness instantly entering into an independant space.

In the dark space dozens of beams of disorderly light formed a massive cage. In the cage a savage beast was roaring ferociously.

The appearance of the beast is like a goat with a human's face, its eyes are beneath its pits and it possesses teeth of a tiger with human hands. Its voice is like an infant's, constantly ramming the cage formed by light. It is precisely the form of one of the four great ancient beasts of legend, the taotie.

Right now the beams of light are already very thin, compared to the taotie it's practically like using rope the thickness of a finger to tie an elephant.

If not for the overall cage formed by the beams of light that releases a unified light every time the taotie rams into it, the beams of light would have already been torn apart a long time ago.

Lin Feng felt his blood freeze whilst staring at it. Even though this isn't a true taotie and is just a remnant spirit, its strength is at least foundation establishment stage and it can also devour all things, it is far more terrifying than the average human foundation establishment stage cultivator.

While heavily injured Yan Mingyue's level is also just foundation establishment stage. If not for the profundity of the Void Temple's secret technique the Heaven Cage Sigil she simply would not be able to contain this savage beast.

Before when Xiao Yan was at the great circle of perfection of qi disciple level 12, he was forcefully sucked into a useless loser by this taotie.

Lin Feng's current level is qi disciple level 7, being put on the spot to face this savage beast the pressure on him is not your average big.

Not paying attention to the struggling and roaring taotie, Lin Feng focused all of his attention on the light cage formed by the Heaven Cage Sigil. To take care of this beast he'll probably have to depend on this Heaven Cage Sigil.

Even time the taotie rams into it once the beams of light become a bit thinner, representing a portion of the mana of the Heaven Cage Sigil being consumed.

When Yan Mingyue just set up the Heaven Cage Sigil in the past the light beams were presumably very thick. Only after three years time of depletion did it become like this.

Understanding this point Lin Feng had an idea. He started to try and infuse his own mana into the light cage to "recharge" the cage and help it to continue working.

This is not an easy matter. As the signature spell of the Void Temple, the Heaven Cage Sigil's appearance looks like a simple light cage, but the inner mana workings are actually extremely complicated.

Countless incantation sigils worked together like an incredibly sophisticated machine.

When Lin Feng just infused his mana within, it was like a bull barging into a flock of sheep. Not only did it not achieve the effect of replenishing it, he nearly affected the regular operation of the Heaven Cage Sigil.

Lin Feng did not dare to continue taking risks, only integrating bits of mana within and first patiently grasping the workings of the sigil. This is actually the same as learning the Heaven Cage Sigil.

But he is like a blind man feeling an elephant, his learning efficiency is extremely low. (TL: blind man and elephant)

Lin Feng right now has no other choice, he's already been forced into a corner, he must succeed.

Secretly dealing with the Heaven Cage Sigil, on the surface Lin Feng had a poised appearance, calmly looking towards Xiao Yan: "You set a three year promise with your fiance, what are your plans now?"

Some things you'll only understand their value when you lose them, recovering what was lost will make people value it even more.

Xiao Yan is like so. Knowing the reason behind the change in his body he has already regained his confidence. Leaving these two rings his talent has definitely already returned.

Only, when hearing the word fiance and thinking of the matter before, Xiao Yan's expression still changed.

He took a deep breath saying: "Of course I'll do all I can to catch up and take back everything that I lost before."

Lin Feng smiled faintly: "Your talent is very good, but that little girl's talent is also not bad. While you are improving she is also improving, but her starting point is a lot higher than yours."

"Even if you transform back into the prodigy from the past, based on your original cultivating speed are you sure you can catch up to her within three years?" Lin Feng's smile was enigmatic: "Not to mention she has the support of the Celeritas Sword Sect, her training resources are far superior to yours."

Xiao Yan felt a jolt, glancing at Lin Feng and then subconsciously looking towards Yan Mingyue.

Yan Mingyue smiled faintly: "As an outsider I can't say too much about the grudge between you and Ms. Murong, but your body suffering a great change is more or less related to me. Here I express my deep apologies, I will use a spell of the Void Temple as compensation, I ask that you forgive me."

Hearing this at the side, Lin Feng secretly shouted out in his heart: "Excellent!" This chick may be cunning but her character is not bad.

Xiao Yan is also very happy. The spell that Yan Mingyue wants to pass onto him definitely won't be shabby, but very quickly his mood dropped back down. Even with this spell will he for sure be able to defeat Murong Yanran three years later and avenge the humiliation today?

He knows best about himself, in the past he used four years time to cultivate to the great circle of perfection of qi disciple level 12. How high will his level be three years later?

Even if both sides are at the same level, the Xiao family dao technique that he practises is only third rate, yet Murong Yanran is a direct disciple of the Celeritas Sword Sect. What she practices is the Celeritas Sword Sect's best dao technique, best spells and abilities, mountains of pills and panaceas open to eat, maybe she even has powerful magic items passed down by her master or sect…

Letting out a dejected sigh, Xiao Yan secretly glanced at Lin Feng who is carrying a faint smile on his face, his eyes slowing becoming brighter.

Lin Feng's eyes also lit up: "That's right, my good disciple, hurry up and come into master's bowl!"

His gaze looking at Lin Feng, Xiao Yan opened his mouth asking: "Since senior is saying this, are you indicating that you have a way to help me defeat Murong Yanran three years later?"

Lin Feng smiled cooly: "Naturally I have a way, but the final result still has to look at how determined you are and how much effort you are willing to give."

"The master initiates the apprentice, but their skill depends on their own efforts. A rotten tree is in the end unable to achieve greatness."

Xiao Yan's twin brows rose up high: "I don't know if in senior's eyes I am a rotten tree or a rough diamond, but I dare to say that my determination will absolutely not falter, I will do my utter best."

The black-clothed youth's gaze was filled with resolution: "No matter how much pain, I am able to bear it. No matter how great the trouble I will overcome it!"

Lin Feng nodded his head: "If it's like this then acknowledge me as your master, I will take you in."

"I also have to acknowledge you as my master?" Xiao Yan was a bit hesitant.

Lin Feng said as a matter of factly: "Anyone who enters under my teaching I will definitely teach them my all. What I want is a successor, not a half-minded opportunist."

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and then prepared to accept it.

Seeing him about to accept, Lin Feng's heart instantly heated up. But closely afterwards he sensed a slightly familiar mana fluctuation approaching the lakeside.

Twisting his head and looking over, he saw petite, purple figure rapidly rushing over.

Yan Mingyue also discovered it, her gaze looking towards the purple figure together with Lin Feng. Xiao Yan followed their gazes and looked over, becoming slightly dazed: "It's Zhener?

Lin Feng secretly frowned. At such a critical moment new problems unexpectedly cropping up is what he fears the most. Even if he covets Xiao Zhener's talent, right now he doesn't wish for her to get involved and bring about more variables to the matter of him taking in Xiao Yan as his disciple.

"I don't wish to see other people. Go greet her and see what she wants, I will wait for you here." Lin Feng said indisputably, directly ordering Xiao Yan to go and dismiss Xiao Zhener.

Xiao Yan looked at Lin Feng and then looked at Yan Mingyue at the side, in the end still nodding his head and heading towards Xiao Zhener, stopping her far away.

Lin Feng could feel Xiao Zhener's surveying gaze sweeping towards him, but unsure of what excuse Xiao Yan used, he brought her and walked over towards a further area.

Yan Mingyue stared at Xiao Zhener's back, her gaze filled with a radiant splendour: "The relationship between Xiao Yan and this Miss Zhener is extremely good, this could also be considered another fortuitous opportunity."

Lin Feng knows that in these three years she's been hiding in Xiao Yan's ring the whole time, maybe she already discovered the abnormalities of Xiao Zhener.

"In this life, anybody that you meet is a type of opportunity, although whether or not it will affect your future is hard to say." Lin Feng very casually said.

Yan Mingyue glanced at him: "Fellow daoist Lin's opinion is somewhat similar to that of buddhism's."

Lin Feng smiled noncommittally, the majority of his concentration right now is all focused on the Heaven Cage Sigil in the ring.

He tried to use his own mana to grasp the principles of the Heaven Cage Sigil but was met with little success. Thinking of it it makes sense. if the Heaven Cage Sigil was so easy to see through then how could it become the Void Temple's secret skill?

But for the current Lin Feng he has to crack and understand the principles of the Heaven Cage Sigil within a short period of time or else the remnant taotie spirit will reappear.

At that time Yan Mingyue will of course act to suppress it again, but Lin Feng will then have revealed his true situation. Naturally he won't be able to continue acting like a sagely master and Xiao Yan this disciple already in his hands will also be lost.

While they were talking Xiao Budian was standing at the side the whole time well-behaved, but in the end he is still just child who is not even four years old yet. Very quickly his attention was attracted by a little red bird that flit over the lake.

The corner of Lin Feng's eye swept over Xiao Budian who was restless, saying gruffly: "Go play by yourself, don't run too far."

"Thank you master!" Xiao Budian let out a cheer, stretching out his body and chasing after the little red bird.

Yan Mingyue's eyes stared at Xiao Budian's disappearing figure, exclaiming in a low voice: "And fellow daoist Lin says that it's not easy finding disciples, the talent of this little disciple of yours is virtually unmatched in the world."

"Besides one of my seniors I have never seen anyone able to reach the level of qi disciple level 4 at such a young age."

Lin Feng smiled uncaringly: "Don't say this in front of him, little kids cannot be praised. Once they start to get smug it'll be difficult to scale them back."

Lin Feng was secretly laughing in his heart. You the Void Temple may be filled with prodigious geniuses, but the current Xiao Budian has still yet to display his true talent.

If not for the fact that he was harmed by his clan brother, Xiao Budian is a person that was born at the foundation establishment stage.

Although the Void Temple's mega pool of prodigies still makes Lin Feng incredibly red-eyed.

He used the talent probe in the system tools before to secretly test Yan Mingyue, but he only obtained one notice from the system.

"Target matches the criterion but already has a master, needs to abolish the current master-disciple relationship to be able to become the host's disciple."

Lin Feng said in his heart: "Looks like those already with a master cannot be taken as disciples, if I want to steal disciples than I first need to incite the person to betray their original school and then I can take them as a disciple."

Yan Mingyue frowned slightly: "That seems to be a fire hummingbird, this kind of spiritual creature is very rare, before I've only seen them at the Blaze Sword Sect. I've never heard of fire hummingbirds in the Wuzhou region."

Lin Feng was busy in the middle of studying the Heaven Cage Sigil, casually replying: "Maybe someone brought it over…"

Half way through his sentence Lin Feng's voice abruptly stopped.

Dammit, it's the Blaze Sword Sect!

……I am a dividing line……

"Little red birdy, don't run!"

Xiao Budian chased after the little red bird from behind, passing though a little forest he saw the red little birdy land on the shoulder of a red-clothed person.

The person stood amongst a group of red-clothed people. A dozen people stood together, their mana surging and causing the area around them to be incredibly hot. Standing beside them was like standing beside the mouth of a volcano.

Amongst them two of the people had mana as deep as the sea, powerful and endless, they were foundation establishment stage cultivators.

And the red-haired old man with a fierce appearance at the very front, he looks calm but the pressure that he brings to Xiao Budian is even greater than all of the other people combined.

"Ah!" Even though Xiao Budian is little, he is a precocious child and his eyes are very sharp. With a glance he recognized one of the red-robed youths standing in the group of people, it was precisely that Blaze Sword Sect disciple that he left behind in the mountains.

This person was respectfully saying towards the red-haired old man: "Elder Li, this is this child that I saw."

"You look everywhere but can't find it, and then you turn around and it's right there." The red-haired old man sized up Xiao Budian, his gaze revealing a hint of astonishment, slowly nodding his head: "Excellent, excellent! Truly outstanding gift and talent."

He walked over to Xiao Budian with big strides, bluntly saying: "Kid, come with me. From today onwards you are now a disciple of the Blaze Sword Sect!"

Xiao Budian blinked his eyes: "But old grandpa, I already have a master."

Elder Li with his head of red-hair slightly cocked his eyebrows: "You don't know how to behave kid, since I said you are a disciple of the Blaze Sword Sect, you are and can only be a disciple of the Blaze Sword Sect!"

"Old grandpa, I think it's better if I go." Xiao Budian retreated a few steps back, suddenly turning around and running away.

Elder Li let out a cold snort. A foundation establishment stage cultivator of the Blaze Sword Sect stood out beside him, extending his palm and opening it, his mana turned into boundless flames, directly detaining Xiao Budian below it like a massive cover.

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

Boundless flames enveloped the entire area around Xiao Budian, leaving him without any path of retreat.

Xiao Budian shouted in anger: "You're a bad person, I won't go with you guys!"

The foundation establishment stage cultivator said with a frown: "A wild child from a mountain village, he doesn't know what's good for him. We the Blaze Sword Sect taking him in is his good fortune and he's still here fooling around, it really is annoying."

"Zhang Nan, just teach him a small lesson right now and teach him some manners, lest we return to the sect and he's still making a fuss, it's too shameful."

The red-robed youth Zhang Nan that Xiao Budian first encountered responded and then walked over towards the fire barrier.

Looking at Xiao Budian Zhang Nan laughed coldly in his heart: "Little twerp, in the end you still land in my palms." To begin with being ditched by Xiao Budian in the mountains made him extremely unhappy.

Right now seeing that Elder Li has decided to take in Xiao Budian as his disciple upon just meeting, Zhang Nan's heart feels even more uncomfortable. In the past in his hometown he could be considered a renowned prodigy, but to enter into the Blaze Sword Sect he still had to go through great lengths.

And yet this little twerp that once screwed around with him was so easily taken in as a disciple, this made Zhang Nan who was originally narrow-minded envious and hateful.

The foundation establishment stage cultivator purposely opened a hole in the fire barrier in convenience for Zhang Nan to enter.

Seeing a gap finally appear in the fire barrier Xiao Budian immediately dashed forward, attempting to escape.

But Zhang Nan was waiting for this exact moment, taking a step forward he blocked Xiao Budian's path. Xiao Budian yelled anxiously: "Move!"

"Stay inside like a good boy." Zhang Nan let out a cold laugh, his palm pushing towards Xiao Budian's chest.

The area of the gap is limited, Xiao Budian has no way to dodge and is forced to engage him, also thrusting his palm towards Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan laughed coldly in his heart. He can see that even though Xiao Budian's escape technique is refined, his level is after all only qi disciple level 4. Going head-on against him who is at qi disciple level 6 is asking to be burnt.

While thinking Zhang Nan suddenly saw Xiao Budian flip his palm, clasping his wrist. Turns out that Xiao Budian's forward thrust was just feint, after grabbing hold of Zhang Nan his abnormal body strength fiercely exploded.

Before Zhang Nan even reacted he was thrown by Xiao Budian over his head, being heavily smashed into the ground like waving a hammer.

The group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators were all dazed, nobody thought that Xiao Budian was actually so fierce.

Seeing Xiao Budian about to escape out of the gap in the fire barrier after throwing over Zhang Nan, the foundation establishment stage cultivator that set up the fire barrier felt embarrassed. Letting out a cold snort his powerful mana instantly overwhelmed Xiao Budian.

Xiao Budian lay on the ground constantly struggling. He may be young but the strength of his body is incredibly powerful. Going nuts right now and letting out low roars he was like the cub of a savage beast.

The foundation establishment stage cultivator was blue in the face. He did not make a killing move and the result is that he actually has a slight feeling of being unable to suppress Xiao Budian.

At this time Zhang Nan came back around. Outside of the fire barrier the sound of laughter of his juniors and seniors travelled over, causing his face to turn red and his heart to be filled with a furious rage. Crawling back up he pounced onto Xiao Budian, slapping Xiao Budian in the head knocking Xiao Budian's head into the ground.

Zhang Nan cursed in a low voice: "You little bastard, today I'll teach you how to behave!" While speaking slap after slap landed on Xiao Budian's body.

Xiao Budian felt the burning pain on his body but he did not cry and did not yell in pain, not letting out a single sound.

All because his master once told him: "When you are in a disadvantageous position, the more you submit the happier your enemy will be and the more intensely they will bully you. No matter what you lose in you cannot lose in vigour, you have to be strong and do everything possible to transform defeat into victory!"

Seeing Xiao Budian not only not surrender but instead struggle increasingly more, Zhang Nan's ferociousness was aroused, his strength rising to the limit and chopping towards the back of Xiao Budian's neck with his palm.

"Stop!"

Just rushing over Lin Feng saw a scene in front of him that made his blood boil with anger, hurriedly letting out a loud shout like thunder exploding on the ground.

Accompanying the loud shout, a brilliant beam of Northern Aurora Mystic Light shot straight towards the fire barrier. Violent lightning directly shredded the fire barrier, causing it to turn into fiery meteors scattering all over the place.

The beam of lightning did not stop, striking towards Zhang Nan who was dumb as a wooden chicken.

Over at the side of the Blaze Sword Sect, a beam of light flashed in Elder Li's eyes, he let out a cold snort: "You have the face to show off these parlour tricks?" Lifting up his hand and pointing with his finger, a beam of crimson red sword aura shot forward.

With just the least bit of difference from Zhang Nan, the crimson red sword aura stopped the Northern Aurora Mystic Light, shattering the lightning in mid-air.

Lin Feng's pupils abruptly contracted: "Aurous core stage!"

The Northern Aurora Mystic Light is the strongest attack of the foundation establishment magic item the Northern Aurora Sword. Even with Lin Feng's own level he is unable to use it and has to rely on the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade to be able to use it. It is equivalent to the full-powered attack of a peak foundation establishment stage cultivator and is Lin Feng's strongest move.

From far away seeing the mana fluctuations of the fire barrier he knew that it was the ability of a foundation establishment stage cultivator. If he wants to save Xiao Budian he needs to first get rid of the fire barrier, which is why he let out a big move at the get go and sure enough he destroyed the fire barrier with one hit.

But now the Northern Aurora Mystic Light has been casually dispelled by that red-haired old man, Lin Feng's heart also sank to the bottom with it.

Every stage of cultivation is a massive dividing line, a near insurmountable chasm for those of the mundane. Not mentioning that right now Lin Feng is only at qi disciple level 7, even if he successfully reaches foundation establishment, against Elder Li who is at the aurous core stage it would still be suicide for him.

There is simply no way to make up for such a great difference, the overwhelming difference in strength allows Elder Li to ignore all strategies and schemes, directly crushing Lin Feng.

Against a group of threatening Blaze Sword Sect cultivators, the cold sweat on Lin Feng's back had already completely soaked his clothes.

"Master!" Lin Feng's attack before was not entirely useless. The shockwaves of the collision between the crimson red sword aura and the Northern Aurora Mystic Light directly overturned Zhang Nan who was pressing on top of Xiao Budian. Xiao Budian struggled up, running over to Lin Feng.

But after taking just two steps his body abruptly paused, the next instant his body flew backwards landing in the hands of Elder Li, being held by the collar in mid-air by the red-haired old man.

Being grabbed by the old man Xiao Budian felt completely strengthless, he was unable to use any of his mana or strength.

Xiao Budian's four limbs helplessly flailed in the air: "Let go of me, let go of me! You bad old geezer! Master, master, save me, master!"

Lin Feng was bitter in the mouth, forcing himself to become energetic and maintaining the appearance of his masterly demeanor. He stared coldly at the group of Blaze Sword Sect Cultivators: "The dignified Blaze Sword Sect, a member of the Nine Heavens Sword Alliance, actually bullying a little child?"

Elder Li laughed coldly: "You are but a mere wandering cultivator with a level of just peak foundation establishment, do you think you are qualified to parade your tongue in front of me?"

"This kid possesses outstanding talent, learning from you is practically like casting pearls before swine, a waste of his talent. Me taking him under the door of our sword sect is precisely to not waste his talent. It is his good fortune and luck, as for you…"

Elder Li curled his lips in disdain: "Today I've accepted a good disciple and am in a good mood, I'll let you go, screw off as far as you can. From today onwards you're not allowed to appear in front of me or else I'll cut you down. I'd like to see who dares to speak wrong of me!"

He casually glanced at Lin Feng, and this is only because of Lin Feng's Northern Aurora Mystic Light before or else he couldn't even be bothered to take a look at Lin Feng.

But just this glance made Lin Feng feel like he had fallen through ice. An unprecedentedly strong sense of danger emerged in his heart.

He'd never felt himself to be so close to death, his life withering, his soul shattering.

An aurous core stage cultivator exerting his pressure on the body of a qi disciple level 7 cultivator, just this pressure alone is virtually enough to crush the entire body of the opponent.

Lin Feng's finger moved, he had the impulse to clench his fists but he restrained himself at the first moment, becoming relaxed again.

Right now Lin Feng was having an internal battle with himself in his heart: "What should I do? Should I just endure it? The difference in strength is too great. If I fight I'll definitely be killed by this old geezer."

It's true that he will be killed by the system if he does not complete the system task within one year and gather four disciples, but if he doesn't step back today then he might be about to die right away.

"Ten years is not late for a gentleman's revenge. I'll first endure it for today and then in the future when my level is higher I'll have this old geezer pay back twice as much. Knowing that you are no match and forcing yourself to fight is not bravery, it is stupidity…" Lin Feng constantly convinced himself in his heart, but when he came in contact with Xiao Budian's clear eyes, he suddenly couldn't keep on going.

The four year old child's gaze did not have any fear or worry, only endless hope. It's like he never worried that his master would be no match for the enemy and especially never thought that his master would abandon him.

Lin Feng's two fists suddenly clenched tight, roaring in his heart: "Fuck it, if it's an idiot than I'll be one. I didn't come over here to be someone's bitch, why live if I live so worthlessly?"

Your birdy faces the sky if you die, if you don't then long live forever, it's just two words.

Do it!

Lin Feng's action of clenching his fists was keenly sensed by Elder Li. He let out a cold laugh: "Looks like you're suicidal, then I'll fulfill your wish!"

One hand grabbing onto Xiao Budian, the fingers of his other hand came together like a sword. A dazzling fiery red sword aura started to gather and condense at the tip of his fingers.

Different from his juniors controlling flying swords, Elder Li had already completely refined his flying sword into a beam of blazing sword aura, human and sword as one. His strength is on an entirely different level.

The sword aura blazed like a flickering flame. He had yet to release it but it was already emitting waves of an incredibly terrifying aura.

In the surrounding hundreds of meters, all of the vegetation had already withered and the moisture was evaporated.

Lin Feng stood on the spot, the air the he breathed into his lungs was like it was about to burn up. Under the scorching environment he felt waves of dizziness, the sign of dehydration.

He could even see large amounts of steam like clouds and mist rise up from the little lake in the distance.

This is the terrifying strength of aurous core stage cultivators. Once Elder Li releases this attack it is enough to reduce to shambles the entire area around the little lake north of the city.

Lin Feng licked his chapped lips, right now he is the direct target of this sword.

Against Elder Li's upcoming terrifying offensive, Lin Feng took in a deep breath, completely fearless.

Since he's already made his decision then there's nothing to be afraid about.

Lin Feng took back the mana he was using to probe the Heaven Cage Sigil. Even if he's gonna do it he's not going to do it by brute force, but instead by taking advantage of everything that can be used. He already has a plan, that is to simply destroy the already crumbling Heaven Cage Sigil and release that remnant taotie soul.

What Yan Mingyue will do is very hard to judge. To face a terrifying aurous core stage cultivator alone, Lin Feng's only option is to muddle the waters. Only under a situation of chaos does Lin Feng have a chance to fish in troubled waters with little risk.

Right after Lin Feng took back the mana from within the Heaven Cage Sigil, the long-forgotten system notification sound suddenly sounded in his head.

"Host failed self-analysis, does host wish to start up the system tool, the ability analyzer?"

Lin Feng subconsciously pressed "Yes", the system immediately reacted: "System tool ability analyzer starting up."

Up until right now, the Super Founder System has a total of three subsystems, the trading system, the lottery system and the disciple system.

Besides these there is also one system tool, the talent prober, specially used to probe the cultivating talent of the target using classifications of bone root, comprehension, will and blessing, creating a digitized summary.

And the effect of the newly unlocked ability analyzer is to help Lin Feng analyze a certain ability and resolve the principles of its structure. Its goal is to help Lin Feng grasp an ability within the shortest amount of time.

The ability analyzer also has its limits, the analysis requires a certain amount of time. For example the attack right now from the Blaze Sword Sect's Elder Li, after his power releases the attack will be finished, in such a short period of time the ability analyzer is unable to analyze the ability that he is using.

Thus this system tool is mainly targeted towards formations and sigils these kinds of abilities that have a long-term effect and where the mana circulation exists for a long time.

Such as the Heaven Cage Sigil.

Without hesitation Lin Feng started up the ability analyzer and started analyzing the Heaven Cage Sigil.

At the same time a thought flashed across in his mind and he had a bold plan.

Making preparations in secret, on the appearance Lin Feng still looked as steady as a mountain, standing on the spot expressionless and calmly facing Elder Li's attack that is part of the Blaze Sword Sect's esoteric sword path "Meteor Ember Sword".

… In appearance, his appearance right now could also be said to being scared out of his mind.

Zhang Nan laughed coldly, saying towards Xiao Budian: "Look closely, in front of we the Blaze Sword Sect that master of yours is just trash."

Xiao Budian didn't pay heed to Zhang Nan, his big eyes nervously staring at Lin Feng. With the mighty appearance of Elder Li's sword skill the Meteor Ember Sword, Xiao Budian's confidence was not so full.

Compared to the great momentum on Elder Li's side, there isn't the least bit of movement on Lin Feng's side, making it hard for people to have confidence in him.

The opponent's power increasingly grew and had already gradually reached its peak. Lin Feng was well aware that this Meteor Ember Sword of Elder Li's in actuality does not require such a long charging time.

The reason that he is putting on such airs is not to frighten Lin Feng, in his eyes Lin Feng is already a dead man, the one he wants to frighten is Xiao Budian.

Elder Li wants to completely subdue Xiao Budian and let Xiao Budian recognize the massive gap between Lin Feng and the Blaze Sword Sect, making him experience the strength of the Blaze Sword Sect, thus causing him to willingly become his disciple.

Finally, Elder Li's aura reached its peak, his index and middle fingers straightening together like a sword and pointing straight towards Lin Feng.

The burning fire at his fingertips exploded, turning into thousands of blazing sword aura, their long tails of fire flickering in the air like thousands of fire dragon roaring and charging forth, blotting out the sky and rushing towards Lin Feng.

For sword aura flying near the ground, the powerful force brought up in the process of flying directly plowed out deep grooves dozens of meters deep.

What kind of power is this?

Every beam of sword aura can destroy a small hill, every beam of sword aura is the same as the full powered attack of a foundation establishment stage cultivator, every beam is something that the current Lin Feng cannot withstand.

And right now there are hundreds of thousands of this kind of sword aura, blotting out the sky!

The areas that the sword aura passed through became scorched earth, at this moment the violent power shook all of Wuzhou City.

Xiao Budian opened his eyes wide: "Master, show them who's boss!"

Elder Li who was grabbing on to him let out a cold snort: "Kid, open your eyes wide and look closely, this is the true ability of an immortal!"

Xiao Zhener and Xiao Yan were also startled and rushed over. Seeing the scenery of these thousands of sword aura shooting forward Xiao Yan's expression changed greatly: "Aurous core stage cultivator!"

"Xiao ge-ge, this master of yours is probably a complete sham…" Xiao Zhener frowned while staring at Lin Feng who still did not have any reaction as if he was scared dumb, hesitating in her heart: "Should I save him?" (TL: Ge-ge, brother, but the way she says it is like how the Koreans say oppa, so I didn't translate it and left it as ge-ge.)

Yan Mingyue was actually hiding at the side the whole time, all of her concentration was focused on Lin Feng: "If you've got any cards up your sleeves then it's time to use them or else it'll be too late."

Everybody was looking with their breaths held, but right now Lin Feng who was at the heart of the storm only had one feeling, and that was hot.

Incomparable heat, like he was within a furnace and was about to be completely burnt into ashes.

His vision was a sea of fiery red, the dazzling crimson red sword aura caused him unable to keep his eyes open.

Lin Feng could already smell the scent of death.

"Open!"

Right when Elder Li released his sword Lin Feng's mana surged, attacking from the inside and the outside with the taotie and forcefully smashing apart the Heaven Cage Sigil in the ring.

"I'm out! I'm finally out!"

"Yan Mingyue, if I don't eat you my hatred cannot be quelled!"

"Eat! Eat! Eat!"

A piercing voice sounded non-stop in Lin Feng's mind.

The ring in his palm was like a black hole, releasing a massive force of suction wanting to devour everything in the vicinity that it can come in contact with.

Lin Feng immediately felt his mana uncontrollably gush into the ring, rushing downwards like the flooding water after the dam breaks.

The hundreds of thousands of beams of sword aura in front were already near at hand, in addition there was also a black hole constantly devouring his mana. Beset by external and internal troubles Lin Feng's face instead revealed a smile, quietly putting the ring on his finger.

Lin Feng flatly pushed his right arm forward, as if wanting to block the blazing fire rushing towards him.

"Foolish!"

All of the Blaze Sword Sect cultivators revealed an expression of disdain. A foundation establishment stage cultivator wanting to block an aurous core stage cultivator's sword skill like this is practically inviting humiliation.

His only result is being burnt to ashes.

The group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators could virtually already see the first beam of sword aura attacking Lin Feng and slicing off his extended right hand, following is the second beam, the third beam…

Hundreds of thousands of beams of sword aura will shred him to pieces, and the sword aura will turn into blazing flames, turning to dust this tiny wandering cultivator that does not know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.

What a perfect scene!

Elder Li and co. watched grinningly, but as time progressed all of their smiles froze on their faces.

What did they see?

Upon coming in contact with Lin Feng's extended hand, Elder Li's incomparably violent sword aura suddenly vanished out of sight.

That's right, vanished, without any sound or trace.

There was no violent collision, no awe-inspiring aura, just silently vanishing out of sight like that.

Following, the second beam, the third beam… At this moment Lin Feng's palm was like a bottomless abyss, silently and decisively devouring the hundreds of thousands of sword aura released by Elder Li's Meteor Ember Sword.

The next instant, the lakeside was utterly silent. Both sides were still standing face to face, it was as if the Meteor Ember Sword that was enough to flatten the surrounding area for miles around had never appeared before.

Only the hot atmosphere that still remained in the air and the black, messy ground proved that it really did exist before.

In the deathly silent crowd a loud, crisp child's voice suddenly rose up: "Master is amazing!"

It was precisely Xiao Budian, even though he's being held in the air by the collar by Elder Li, the little guy was still gleefully cheering for Lin Feng.

"This is impossible!"

At this time the group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators finally reacted, bursting out in an uproar.

Elder Li especially had his bull eyes wide open staring at Lin Feng, his throat released heavy sounds of panting but he was unable to say any words.

Only until this moment did Lin Feng let out a breath of relief, his back was already completely soaked.

The force of attraction from within the ring on his finger became extremely weak, beside his ears the sound of the taotie's whispers travelled over: "Delicious, so good! I've made back all of my losses these past few years… But I still want to keep eating!"

While speaking, Lin Feng felt the force of attraction within the ring become stronger again!

From beginning to end the expression on Lin Feng's face did not have any change, calmly and indifferently staring at the group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators in front.

A moment ago, this expression of his was considered by people as being scared dumb by Elder Li's monstrous offensive.

But, after Elder Li's menacing Meteor Ember Sword was dissolved into nothingness, everybody's expression changed.

Elder Li's crimson hair flew in the air, swinging his arms he threw Xiao Budian towards the Blaze Sword Sect cultivators behind him and then silently took great strides forward, walking towards Lin Feng.

Flipping his hand, endless flames spewed out from the red-haired elder's palm. The next instant it then rapidly condensed, forming a dark red light sword in his palm.

The light sword looked plain and ordinary, only a dim luster circulated on the blade of the sword.

But the pressure that this light sword brought to Lin Feng was far greater than the Meteor Ember Sword before with its towering aura.

Because this time the old geezer has pulled out his trump card, his powerful mana was all gathered on this light sword, his power condensed to the extreme. The blazing fire mana did not have the slightest bit of leakage, instead it was still absorbing heat from from the air.

The originally hot and dry air cooled down at this moment. The group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators were all gathered together and naturally forming an endless heat, but right now it had also completely vanished.

It was not that they'd restrained their mana, but that even this heat was also absorbed by Elder Li's light sword.

At this moment, the seemingly ordinary light sword faintly revealed a daunting power, an aura of destruction!

Lin Feng stared at the sword. He is certain that if he is struck once by the sword then he will not be enveloped by flames, there won't even be a process of burning. He will be directly turned into ashes and dust, the instant that he is hit he will be vaporized by the violent heat.

If this sword lands in the little lake far-off, the tens of thousands of cubic meters of lake water will be instantly evaporated dry. If it lands on the walls of Wuzhou City, it can cut down half of Wuzhou City.

Elder Li who became serious did not say any more nonsense, the light sword in his hand heading straight for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng understood clearly that competing against reaction speed with this great aurous core stage cultivator is complete suicide, so when Elder Li pointed the sword towards him Lin Feng retracted back the right hand wearing the ring in front of his chest.

With the lesson of the Meteor Ember Sword before, the old geezer is definitely not going to disperse his power but will instead gather all of his strength and attack one point.

Lin Feng is gambling, gambling on Elder Li's point of attack.

If he guesses wrong then even the ring cannot protect him, he will die for sure.

From the moment that Lin Feng decided not to retreat and resolutely confront the Blaze Sword Sect, he'd already known that he would be facing a near hopeless situation, but this instead stimulated his fighting spirit.

He wants to do his utmost best to plow open a path of survival.

At this moment Lin Feng's heart had practically stopped beating.

At the same time, the red-haired elder had already vanished on the spot.

His speed was so fast that Elder Li had already arrived in front of him and Lin Feng could not even react, the dark red sword aura inches away.

Lin Feng roared wildly in his heart. He made the right bet, the sword aura is piercing straight towards his chest!

If he didn't predict the enemy's intention beforehand and take early action, Lin Feng would simply be unable to block this sure-kill sword.

But now everything is different, a powerful force of attraction exploded from within the ring, wildly devouring the mana contained in Elder Li's sword aura.

Beside Lin Feng's ears travelled over the furious roars of the taotie: "Maggot, you dare to use me? If I don't die today I will definitely eat you!"

Right now Elder Li's face was ghostly pale, he could feel that his mana was rapidly leaving him.

The taotie in the ring was going balls to the wall devouring Elder Li's mana. On one side it was the the taotie itself being gluttonous, rather willing to be stuffed to death than to let go of the delicacy already at its mouth.

On the other side it's that right now the taotie is already on thin ice. If it gives up at this moment then it will take the bullet for Lin Feng and will be the first to be eliminated by Elder Li's light sword.

Elder Li's speed is too fast, so much so that when everybody around could clearly see his movements, the light sword had already arrived at Lin Feng's chest.

Right now the light sword is like a black hole, all light that goes into it disappears out of sight. When people look over they immediately feel mentally unstable, like their entire soul is about to be sucked within.

The Blaze Sword Sect cultivators all released a cheer of joy.

"How are you gonna survive this time?" The group of people ecstatically looked at Elder Li succeed, excited to the point that their eyes were red.

But after a moment their cheers of joy came to a screeching halt, all that remained was a faint echo that trembled in the air.

Because they shockingly discovered that Lin Feng who had been struck by the sword was actually still standing there perfectly fine, safe and sound.

On the contrary it was Elder Li's light sword the was rapidly waning at a discernable rate.

Lin Feng still did not make any movements, calmly and casually standing on the spot. His entire body did not have the slightest mana fluctuations. His calm gaze looking at Elder Li was like looking at an entertaining clown.

The next instant Elder Li's light sword disappeared, his forward thrusting arm still blankly stretching towards Lin Feng.

The elder's face was full of shock, his head of red-hair that was originally dancing in the air like blazing flames had also lost its energy, dropping on his two shoulders.

He used all of his strength but it was as if the opponent did not care at all. At this moment Elder Li finally felt fear: "I screwed up, the height of this person's level is completely out of my realm, it's practically… Practically like a child facing a grown man."

"Run, I have to run, everybody has to run, or else if we wait until he makes his move then we'll all die!"

Right when Elder Li wanted to retreat, Lin Feng who did not say anything this whole time finally opened his mouth."

"Kid, have you messed around enough yet?"

Lin Feng retracted his right hand at his chest and then re-extended it, his index and middle fingers also straightening together like a sword, forming a sword sign and thrusting towards Elder Li.

Only Lin Feng could hear the howling cries of the taotie within the ring: "I can't take it, can't take it!"

The crimson red sword aura that was devoured by the taotie is a condensation of an aurous core stage cultivator's purest energy. At the moment the taotie is just a remnant soul, ultimately its appetite has its limits. Not only was it unable to devour this sword aura, it was instead seriously injured by the sword aura.

Without any other choice the taotie could only spit back out the sword aura.

"Since you've messed around enough then I have something to return to you." Red light surged at Lin Feng's fingertips and dark red sword aura identical to Elder Li's from before appeared at his fingertips, shooting towards Elder Li!

"No!"

Elder Li had an expression of disbelief, he had not time to evade it and was pierced straight through by Lin Feng.

The sword aura exploded in Elder Li's body, violent fire mana wildly raged. Blazing flames spit out from Elder Li's face, large amounts of fire essence poured out from the pores around his body, instantly burning away the clothes on his body.

The completely naked old geezer was ashamed and angry, but he did not dare to make any movements. Just like that he stood upright on the spot, circulating his mana and difficulty resisting the raging fire in his body. The slightest bit of carelessness and he will be burnt into charcoal.

Even Xiao Budian who had the most confidence in Lin Feng was currently staring dumbfounded at the scene in front of him. Only after a long while did he finally squeeze out a couple of words from his teeth: "Master is so strong!"

At this moment the group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators around him were all dumb as wooden chickens. Hearing his words they all couldn't help but nod their heads. When they reacted over they all felt incredibly awkward, but they all stood there gazing at each other with nothing to say.

What did they see?

In this battle, from beginning to end Lin Feng never actually made a single move. Just standing on the spot unmoving, not blocking and not dodging, letting Elder Li play all of his cards and attack freely.

He did not use any abilities or skills and did fight using martial arts, just you hitting me and me not moving. When I become irritated I casually throw back your attack and directly put you on the ground!

Far-away Xiao Yan was also shocked speechless. The red-haired elder is a genuine aurous core stage cultivator and is moreover an aurous core stage cultivator of the Blaze Sword Sect this kind of big sect.

Before now the highest levelled cultivator that Xiao Yan had seen before was the leader of Wuzhou City, and he is also just at the aurous core level. Moreover he cannot compare to this Elder Li in front of him.

And yet it is precisely this kind of great cultivator who did not have any strength to fight back in front of Lin Feng.

If I am able to become his disciple…

Thinking there Xiao Yan felt a fire in his heart. He thought of three years later, the Celeritas Sword Sect and Murong Yanran, thought of the enemy that caused his father to be seriously injured and die.

Xiao Zhener also looked with a shocked expression at Lin Feng who still had an indifferent expression, a radiant light flashing in her eyes: "I also committed the fault of underestimating the people of the world, in this world the sky is truly not the limit."

"Too bad my clan will not accept Xiao ge-ge, but if he can become this senior's disciple then his future will also be very promising."

Right now everybody at the scene was so shocked that they could not speak, only Lin Feng was as calm as usual. Lifting his eyes he looked towards the group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators, his gaze focusing on Xiao Budian in the crowd.

With this glance of his all of the Blaze Sword Sect cultivators felt a shudder, all of them retreating backwards. The surroundings around Xiao Budian instantly became an empty space.

Lin Feng's gaze silently looked over. All of the Blaze Sword Sect cultivators were as if they had been stung by scorpions, hastily distancing themselves from Xiao Budian.

The eyes of one of the foundation establishment stage cultivators flashed, his retreating body stopped and then wanted to pounce towards Xiao Budian.

He has to take this hostage or else they will be unable to retreat safely.

Lin Feng glanced at him, lightly saying: "Starting from this instant, if my disciple is missing one strand of hair, you guys leave behind one life."

The foundation establishment stage cultivator's body immediately froze on the spot, not daring to even move.

Seeing this Lin Feng secretly let out a breath of relief. Right now the condition of his body is also very bad. Even though the taotie devoured Elder Li's attack, just the shockwaves of a great aurous core stage cultivator's attack is not something that Lin Feng can withstand.

Afterwards Elder Li's mana surpassed the taotie's limits and the taotie was forced to spit out all of the mana that it swallowed.

Not only the dark red sword aura, even the mana of the Meteor Ember Sword from before was also released and a relative portion flowed into Lin Feng's body. Right now his internal organs were also as if they were on fire, feeling like all of the blood in his body was about to boil and bubble.

Right at this moment, the taotie's force of devourment appeared again within the ring on his finger. Even though it was gravely injured by Elder Li and the strength of the taotie who was just a remnant soul to begin with greatly decreased, its gluttonous nature did not change and its first reaction after just catching its breath is to eat.

"When I recover my strength I'll definitely eat you whole!" The taotie furiously roared in the ring.

Lin Feng let out a cold laugh: "I'm afraid that you don't have good enough teeth."

Finishing speaking Lin Feng's mana rushed into the ring, turning into dozens of light pillars and intertwining with each other. In an instant they formed a massive cage, locking the taotie within.

The taotie pounced at the cage with a howl, wanting to devour the mana comprising the light pillars. But profound essence circulated on the pillars of light and the entire cage emitted a great light, tightly suppressing the taotie.

After being dazed for a moment the taotie immediately flew into a rage: "The Heaven Cage Sigil again! You're also from the Void Temple? Wuahhhh! God dammit, one day I'm going to swallow all of you damned daoists from the Void Temple!"

Lin Feng did not pay attention to its clamor, feeling pleased in his heart. The system tools are indeed extraordinary, through the ability analyzer he was able to resolve the secrets of the Heaven Cage Sigil in a short period of time.

Lin Feng was able to quickly learn this secret technique of the Void Temple which is why he was able to re-suppress the taotie after using it as a shield. Or else even if he is able to get past Elder Li he'll still be sucked dry by this taotie.

Lin Feng glanced at Elder Li whose skin was completely red and releasing white steam, right now he was like a massive cooked shrimp.

Calling out lucky in his heart, Lin Feng knows that the reason he was able to succeed with one strike is moreover because he silently took Elder Li's strongest attack head-on and the result was too shocking, causing this aurous core stage cultivator to become flustered.

Not only was he unable to evade Lin Feng's counterattack, he did not even have the time to defend, just stiffly taking the attack head-on.

This attack was entirely the same as the full powered attack of an aurous core stage cultivator at the same level as Elder Li. Taking a hit like this without any defense, the old geezer is already very lucky that he didn't die.

Xiao Budian dashed over to his side, smilingly saying: "Master, that move of yours just now was so amazing, can you teach me?"

Lin Feng patted his tiny noggin: "You can't learn it right now, train hard and master will naturally teach it to you later."

Finishing speaking Lin Feng lifted up his head looking towards Zhang Nan in the crowd, his voice slightly cold: "Just now you hit my disciple, did you enjoy it?"

Lin Feng is incredibly annoyed by Zhang Nan, if not for this guy why would he need to needlessly risk his life against a great aurous core stage cultivator?

Zhang Nan was absent minded, his attention was still focused on the unbelievable reality of Elder Li losing. Coming in contact with Lin Feng's gaze at this moment, he immediately felt like he'd fallen through ice.

"Se… Senior… I, I just…" Zhang Nan's face was ashen, he couldn't even speak properly.

Right now the group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators beside him all retreated to the side, avoiding him like the plague. Their gazes staring at Zhang Nan became increasingly unfriendly.

… It's all this guy's fault, if not for him why would Elder Li suffer such a disaster and why would we be in this mess?

Before Elder Li was defeated, nobody thought that it would be this kind of result.

All of the Blaze Sword Sect cultivators thought that they could easily take Xiao Budian this prodigious disciple into the sect. That wandering cultivator master of Xiao Budian's better know what's best for him or else we'll teach him a lesson and let him know the power of the Blaze Sword Sect.

But at this moment everybody was in regret, their chests were uncomfortably tight. Lin Feng who was too profound to be understood was too terrifying, making them only think about getting as far away as possible from this monster.

The gap between both sides is too large making them only able to feel fear, they did not even dare to have the slightest bit of hatred.

Their built up anger requires a means of discharge and Zhang Nan who was the root of all this naturally became the punching bag of his fellow peers.

One of the foundation establishment stage cultivators stared at Zhang Nan, saying lividly: "This is all your fault!"

The other foundation establishment stage cultivator did not say anything, directly slapping him and smashing Zhang Nan away.

Poor Zhang Nan was slapped far away before he could even react, his body in mid-air did a couple of high difficulty reverse somersaults before heavily falling to the ground.

Beating your own disciple in front of outsiders is actually a very demoralizing and shameful matter.

You are no match for the opponent and yet you use your own disciple to vent your anger. You are unable to protect the disciples from your sect and even use your disciple as a scapegoat. This kind of sect undoubtedly loses its cohesive force very easily and easily causes the disciples of the sect to gravitate away from the sect.

But when this foundation establishment stage cultivator sharply hit Zhang Nan, at this moment all of the Blaze Sword Sect disciples all cheered loudly in their hearts, only feeling that it was well deserved. This kind of menace should be mercilessly beat, it serves him right.

The pressure that Lin Feng brought to them had already caused them to be incapable of thinking calmly, only feeling like there was a breath stuck in their chest and that if they didn't release it then they would go crazy.

Staring at Zhang Nan who was half-dead, Lin Fen couldn't help but secretly grin. This foundation establishment stage cultivator really did not hold back, knocking away half of Zhang Nan's life with a slap.

"Today I will not trouble you, but that does not mean that this is over." Lin Feng stared at Zhang Nan, lightly saying: "The reason that I let you go today is to leave you for my disciple, to give him the chance to personally take revenge."

Lin Feng lowered his head looking at Xiao Budian: "What do you say?"

Xiao Budian stared at Zhang Nan who was like a dead dog, releasing a humph: "The way he is right now, me fighting him could not be considered skill. After some time once once I've learnt some abilities from master then I will find him and take my revenge."

Lin Feng said in his heart that relentlessly beating the dog in the water is what's justice, but he was not the least bit worried about Xiao Budian, on the contrary he was silently giving his tributes to Zhang Nan in his heart.

Are you kidding, what kind of good ending can an enemy have after being remembered by a main character?

Lin Feng lifted up his eyes again and looked towards the people of the Blaze Sword Sect, calmly saying: "You guys all heard what my disciple said? Keep your eyes on this person, one day I will bring my disciple Haotian and visit the Blaze Sword Sect to bring this matter to an end."

The two leading foundation establishment stage cultivators involuntarily nodded their heads.

Looking at the expressions of the foundation establishment stage cultivators and the look in their eyes looking at Zhang Nan, Lin Feng laughed in his heart. With his last remark, even if Xiao Budian forgets about this small fry in the future, Zhang Nan's days in the Blaze Sword Sect will definitely be a living hell.

The corner of Lin Feng's eyes swept across Elder Li. Right now the old geezer was just about to catch his breath, but with his grievous wounds he could only be considered to still having half his life.

Seeing Lin Feng looking at him Elder Li wanted to die from shame, wishing that he could go crawl into a hole.

Lin Feng did not continue to trouble him, his chin lightly pointing towards him: "Take your elder and leave, don't appear in front of my eyes again."

The group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators felt like they'd been pardoned of crime, hastily picking up Elder Li and swiftly taking their leave.

The spiritual projection of Yan Mingyue with her green gown reappeared in the air, her gaze complicatedly looking at Lin Feng, actually unable to say anything for the moment.

The reason she handed over the ring sealing the taotie to Lin Feng to deal with was not only with the intentions of helping him and to test him.

Besides this she also had a third intention of probing him, killing three birds with one arrow.

As long as Lin Feng touches the Heaven Cage Sigil in the ring, Yan Mingyue will develop a link with the mana that she left behind and would thus be able to get a clear idea of the depths of Lin Feng's strength along with dao technique and background.

At first Lin Feng only had a slight bit of mana probing the Heaven Cage Sigil and Yan Mingyue did not pay it any heed, but afterwards Yan Mingyue suddenly lost her connection with the Heaven Cage Sigil.

Naturally she does not know that Lin Feng used the ability analyzer, only thinking that Lin Feng had discovered her plot and so cut off the link between her and the Heaven Cage Sigil.

Afterwards Elder Li made his debut and was nonchalantly defeated by Lin Feng. Of everybody at the scene, only Yan Mingyue knows that Lin Feng made use of the taoties's power.

But she did not dare to look down on Lin Feng at the slightest because of this, on the contrary she thinks that Lin Feng used the taotie to engage the enemy precisely to not let her see his limits.

And the reality is exactly so. After a fierce battle Yan Mingyue was unable to perceive exactly what level Lin Feng is at and the origins of his dao technique.

From Yan Mingyue's point of view, in that confrontation just now the two sides battling were actually Lin Feng and her. She wants to grasp Lin Feng's details and Lin Feng does not want her to get her wish. That red-haired elder of the Blaze Sword Sect was nothing but their tool of confrontation.

The result is naturally her complete and utter loss.

Even against an aurous core stage cultivator Lin Feng is able to not reveal any of his strength and instead use the remnant taotie soul she gave him to defeat the enemy. This made Yan Mingyue have a sense of defeat like going for wool and coming home shorn.

Even the two lines that Lin Feng said towards Elder Li, Yan Mingyue also felt that Lin Feng was actually saying them towards her.

"Kid have you messed around enough yet?"

"Since you've messed around enough then I have something to return to you."

These two lines made Yan Mingyue's tranquil heart develop a bit of vexation.

She is not a regular disciple of the Void Temple. Even in the Void Temple that number one holy land of the ages, she is an existence favoured by the heavens. Since she was little no one could make her develop such a distressed feeling.

Even her archrival Long Ye of whom she fought with until a bitter end did not achieve this.

At this moment, Yan Mingyue did not have the slightest bit of negligence facing Lin Feng, instead treating him as a target that she must take seriously.

Lin Feng was a bit perplexed by Yan Mingyue's gaze. If he knew the thoughts turning around in her head he would only give a one line assessment.

"The hundred and one ways of an expert's death, overthinking!"

Right now all of Lin Feng's attention was focused on Xiao Yan who was rushing over as he mumbled in his heart: "The second one, the second one…"

After Xiao Yan went through the master-disciple ceremony, listening to the system notification sound beside his ears Lin Feng's entire body was a bit exhausted.

"Congratulations to host taking in your second direct disciple Xiao Yan."

"Host has obtained reward of one lottery chance and 500 trading points."

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan in front of him, sighing in his heart: "I really put my life on the line this time to settle things."

In the disciple system, besides Xiao Budian there was the addition of Xiao Yan's data.

Name: Xiao Yan

Age: 15 years 1 month

Current Level: Qi Disciple Level 1

Potential Attributes: Bone Root 8; Comprehension 9; Will 9; Luck 8

Note: Has special talent in alchemy.

Recommended Teaching Plan: "Recommended to practice fire class dao techniques, in terms of abilities the recommended direction of development is a focus on martial arts, recommended to train his alchemy level as he possesses very great potential."

Even though he's not like Xiao Budian and directly has one attribute that is an OP max value, Xiao Yan's comprehension and will is one step above. His four attributes are all very outstanding and he also has an extra talent in alchemy.

But the system recommends Xiao Yan to practice fire class dao techniques, seeing this point Lin Feng secretly frowned.

The system undoubtedly gave out the most suitable teaching plan, but Lin Feng only has a Nine Heavens Thunder Technique on his hands, where can he go to find a fire class dao technique?

… And it also has to be a comparatively sophisticated fire dao technique or else how can he make Xiao Yan accept it?

Even if Xiao Yan doesn't say anything, this purple-clothed little girl in front of him will not settle for it.

Xiao Zhener stared at Xiao Yan with a wistful expression and then turned around asking Lin Feng: "Are you going to bring Xiao Yan ge-ge and leave Wuzhou?"

Lin Feng faintly smiled: "I will not stay here for long, when your Xiao Yan ge-ge finishes handling things at home then it'll be time for us to leave."

Pausing for a moment, Lin Feng looked at Xiao Yan and continued saying: "There is a very difficult objective waiting for him to complete, if he trains according to routine then the time will be too late. Only by going outside to an even bigger world, experiencing even more trials and coming in contact with more opportunities can he advance by leaps and bounds."

Xiao Zhener naturally knows what Xiao Yan's goal is, hearing this she became slightly dejected.

"You can also go with him."

This line arrived at the tip of his tongue, did a few spins and then went back down his throat, he did not say it.

His act just now of defeating Elder Li was incredibly domineering. This girl may have also been shocked, but that look of hers was clearly being shocked that "there is also this kind of expert here", and not "there is actually this kind of expert in the world".

His performance was unable to impress her and adding her potentially super amazing background, the chances of this little girl bowing her head to him with Xiao Yan are very slim.

Sure enough, Xiao Zhener wistfully grabbed Xiao Yan's hand: "Sorry, Xiao ge-ge, Zhener is unable to be with you, sorry…"

If possible she really wants to keep following her Xiao Yan ge-ge, but not only will she not be able to help him like that, she will instead bring him harm…

Even if it's not been even half a year and he's already gained half of the four disciples, that one year time limit was still weighing on Lin Feng's heart: "Number three oh number three, where are you?"

Without any clues it's very easy for his time to be wasted in an aimless search.

Seeing Xiao Zhener's reluctance, Xiao Yan smiled in a carefree manner: "Don't worry about me Zhener, I won't be leaving that quickly. Moreover, I have a feeling that we'll be meeting again very soon."

Yan Mingyue's gaze lingered between these two little lovebirds, a gentle smile blooming at the corner of her lips: "Xiao Yan, I said before that I will teach you a skill of the Void Temple as compensation for your care over these past three years."

"Originally I was going to teach you the Heaven Cage Sigil, but it looks like I don't need to now."

Hearing this Xiao Yan was stunned, Xiao Zhener was also slightly moved.

The Heaven Cage Sigil is the Void Temples signature spell, amongst the Void Temple's vast multitude of skills it can be considered a more basic spell, but it is one that almost all of the Void Temple's disciples will learn.

There's no other reason, after the constant improvements and modifications made by countless predecessors, this spell has already reached near perfection and is extremely handy.

The Heaven Cage Sigil, when qi disciple stage cultivators use it, it is a type of power. When primordial soul stage cultivators use it, it is another kind of earthshaking power.

Different from a multitude of spells having their limits and when a cultivator's own level increases they will gradually fall behind until being discarded, the Heaven Cage Sigil's potential is near infinite. Even in the battles of mighty primordial spirit level magnates it is also a very handy spell.

Hearing this Lin Feng was first dazed for a moment and then reacted over, the vigilance in his eyes looking at Yan Mingyue became even greater but also more hidden.

Through Lin Feng's method of using the taotie to repulse the enemy, Yan Mingyue has clearly already guessed that the Heaven Cage Sigil she'd left in the ring was not only cracked by Lin Feng, Lin Feng also seized the opportunity and grasped hold of the Heaven Cage Sigil.

The Heaven Cage Sigil is the Void Temple's secret spell and is not easily taught to outsiders, because once it lands in the eyes of those who know it the user will usually use the name of the Void Temple and it's very easy for them to use their fame to cause trouble.

But right now Yan Mingyue clearly does not intend to pursue the matter. Against Lin Feng this kind of person who is of unknown origin yet enigmatic, under the pretense of no central conflicts Yan Mingyue carries a better friends than enemies attitude.

She looked at Xiao Yan saying: "The spell I'm teaching you is called Red Lotus Break, it is a fire class spell. Its shortcoming is that it's not easy to practise and there is even a certain risk when practising it, but its power is definitely satisfactory."

Yan Mingyue spent everyday with Xiao Yan for three years, naturally she can see that Xiao Yan is most suited to practising fire class dao techniques.

The same as the Heaven Cage Sigil, Red Lotus Break could also be considered famous within the world and is a very famous fire class spell of the Void Temple. It is famous for being able to release strength greater than the cultivator's current level.

Even though this spell has its flaws, it is the most suited to fighting higher levelled opponents with the least risk. For the current Xiao Yan its attraction is greater than the Heaven Cage Sigil.

Xiao Yan happily nodded his head. Yan Mingyue glanced at Lin FEng and then continued saying: "Besides the main ingredient the soul calming grass provided by fellow daoist Lin, I still need a few extra ingredients for the materials of the soul anchoring pill."

"These ingredients are all very common, Wuzhou City has them. I need to trouble you again to help me collect them."

Xiao Yan agreed frankly, Yan Mingyue started to teach him the skill Red Lotus Break on the spot, not avoiding Lin Feng and Xiao Zhener who are at the side.

Although Yan Mingyue is not avoiding them, Xiao Zhener will not disrespect the rules. She gave Xiao Yan a notice: "Xiao Yan ge-ge, I'll go back to the house first. With such a big commotion here the people at the house will all be startled, I'll go back to stabilize them, you take your time." Finishing speaking she turned around and left.

Lin Feng secretly curled his lips and also brought along Xiao Budian walking away to the distance. Regardless of whether or not Xiao Yan will pass it on to Lin Feng on his own, at this time he has to put out the dismissive attitude of a master.

"Spirit calming grass? Soul anchoring pill?! They all go to that stupid bitch, dammit, dammit! If I ate it then I could immediately recover at least 50% of my strength, then go off and devour a couple of aurous core stage cultivators and I'll be able to recover my previous strength very quickly, dammit!!!"

The taoties violent howls filled with resentment came from within the ring: "The Void Temple! That stupid bitch is from the Void Temple, you're also from the Void Temple, people from the Void Temple are all bastards!"

"You're a bastard, that stupid bitch is even more of a bastard, I curse all of you people from the Void Temple to all die of horrible deaths!"

"Just like the previous holy maiden of your temple, her resolve to pursue the universal path broken, the fruits of her cultivation destroyed, marrying another person as a concubine, being bullied by a mortal woman, vomiting blood and dying, giving birth to a son who is all alone, ignored by his father, oppressed by his stepmother…"

The taotie was yelling to its heart's content when it suddenly discovered that Lin Feng had appeared before it, staring straight at it across from the Heaven Cage Sigil's light cage.

Lin Feng's current gaze was like a wolf that had starved for its entire life suddenly seeing meat, making even the taotie this kind of glutton feel scared.

"If I didn't mishear just now, you said…" Lin Feng licked his lips, his eyes glowing: "You said, the previous holy maiden was killed by someone and left behind a son. He is the son of a concubine in a rich and powerful family but is oppressed by his father and stepmother and is living very miserably?"

The taotie subconsciously nodded its head, Lin Feng let out a wave of ecstatic cries in his heart: "Happiness comes too suddenly, catching people by surprise! No matter how you look at it this guy is a main character template, one chosen by the heavens, could it be that the third one is coming soon?"

Inside the ring Lin Feng's conscious also formed an illusionary image, facing across from the remnant taotie soul in the light cage.

Lin Feng stared at the taotie asking: "If I didn't mishear just now, you said, the previous holy maiden was killed by someone and left behind a son. He is the son of a concubine in a rich and powerful family but is oppressed by his father and stepmother and is living very miserably?"

The taotie subconsciously nodded its head but then reacted over, yelling in discontent: "Why should I tell you?"

Lin Feng smiled brilliantly, with a thought the light cage formed by the Heaven Cage Sigil immediately shrank, squishing the taotie. The bars formed by the light pillars pressed on the taotie's body, thick smoke rose up from the surface of the taotie's body causing the taotie to repeatedly scream in pain.

The Heaven Cage Sigil is not just a means of trapping enemies, it also possesses attack ability. It is especially powerful against souls and spirits.

"Ah, it hurts! It hurts!" The taotie's face was all squished together from the pain, a series of distortions occurred to the semitransparent soul, transforming into a tiny human figure and huddling together avoiding the compression of the light cage.

Seeing this Lin Feng was slightly stunned. The taotie before him has astonishingly turned into a little girl with two pigtails that looks only 3, 4 years of age. She has snow white skin and looks very cute.

This taotie's human form is actually a little loli. Just based on the cuteness of her appearance she is able to challenge Xiao Budian that super moe shota. (TL: Firstly, I did not add or modify any words in the sentence. Secondly, no, there is no loli love…)

Only, this loli is truly ferocious. Her appearance may be cute but her expression is extremely unreasonable and domineering. Seeing Lin Feng blankly staring at her she snorted angrily: "What are you looking at, at my age this is what I look like when turning into my human form, country bumpkin!"

The taotie is not a beast famous for its shapeshifting. The human form that it manifests usually won't be fake, so this taotie is actually a female taotie cub.

Lin Feng came back to his senses, nodding his head: "No wonder your speech and actions are so childish, so you're still just a little brat."

The little taotie instantly exploded with anger, hopping around and yelling: "Who are you calling a little brat?"

Lin Feng smiled looking at her: "If you really think you're a grown up then could you please have some more mature reasoning. At the very least figure out your current situation."

He poked the little taotie, the smile on his face gradually disappearing: "For example, figure out exactly who's the boss here?"

The little taotie looked at the close-by light cage that was still gradually shrinking and constricting towards her. The little guy grudgingly quieted down, although her mouth was still muttering: "If I hadn't taken a hard hit from that old geezer from the Blaze Sword Sect before, how could this kind of Heaven Cage Sigil created by mana contain me, I'd eat the whole thing with one bite…"

Lin Feng's face exuded a warm smile like the spring sun: "So what you're saying is, are you reminding me to take advantage of your weakest moment right now to completely get rid of you?"

The little taoties body shivered, hurriedly shaking her head, her little face squeezing out a smile: "Of course not, of course not."

Lin Feng nodded his head: "But I think I should eliminate you right now though."

He slanted his eyes looking at the loli shaped taotie cub, counting his fingers and saying: "Firstly, that kid whose mana was sucked dry by you three years ago is now my disciple. Screwing him over so badly, as his master shouldn't I stand up for my disciple and help him take revenge?"

"And then, that Yan Mingyue whom you hate to the core, even though she and I can't yet be considered friends our relationship at least isn't too bad.

"Lastly and also most importantly, if I keep you then once you recover your strength it will definitely be disadvantageous for me."

The little taotie's expression became increasingly worse, her eyes already carried an evident fear.

Lin Feng stared at her: "I have so many reasons to get rid of you. You tell me, why should I let you go?"

The little taotie swallowed her saliva, opening wide a pair of big, sparkling black eyes and looking at Lin Feng pitifully: "This… This senior, if there's anything I can do then I am at your service."

Lin Feng smiled, casually saying: "That depends on your performance."

The little taotie was helpless and could only obediently respond to Lin Feng's question.

When the Void Temple accepts disciples they value quality over quantity. Their disciples are few in numbers and many of them will never leave the sect in their entire lives, only wholeheartedly training in the sect and meditating on the way of the universe.

But every time the Void Temple has disciples entering into the world to train it will definitely set off huge waves. The most outstanding leader amongst the disciples will travel the world acting as the Void Temple's representative in the world.

This disciple is usually called the Daoist Wayfarer by the outside world. If this person just so happens to be a female then she is often known as the Void Temple's Holy Maiden.

At the earliest this appellation was merely the ridicule of busybodies, but because of the Void Temple's transcendent status as the number one holy land and the extraordinary strength of past female Daoist Wayfarers, it gradually became an established honorific.

The name of the Void Temple's previous holy maiden is Meng Bingyun, her talent was absolutely astounding and she is the publically acknowledged most prominent disciple of the Void Temple to enter into the world in the last millennium

The name of the dao technique Meng Bingyue practised is the Supreme Path of Indifference, together with another of the Void Temple's dao techniques the Yin-Yang Way of the Void they are known as the two "Supreme" and "Void" scriptures. They are the strongest dao techniques recorded in the Void Temple's daoist scripture "Profundity of the Void Dao".

This dao technique is about first obtaining love and then forgetting it, seeking the Heavenly Path by means of the human way.

At the highest level one transforms heartlessness into great benevolence, commanding all life without words, subduing the heavens and the earth without moving.

Its greatest taboo is becoming entangled in love, the attachment not broken and becoming lead along by love, trapped by love.

And yet Meng Bingyun just so happened to have met a man with whom she was entangled with for life, the Great Zhou Dynasty's Grand Preceptor, the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Hongwu.

Meng Bingyun underwent a trial of love because of Zhu Hongwu, in the end unable to resolve it causing her resolve to seek the universal path to shatter and the fruits of her cultivation turning into nothingness. It can be said to be the worst conclusion to practising the Supreme Path of Indifference.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is a country even more powerful and prosperous than the Great Qin Dynasty. The kings of the past all worked diligently to make the country prosperous resulting in the flourishment of the country. When the throne was passed onto the current emperor Liang Pan the country's power rapidly expanded even more.

Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu both advocate suppressing the development of sects and holy grounds with religious backgrounds in the country. Moreover, 20 years ago they teamed up with the Nine Heavens Sword Alliance and other powerful groups and engaged in an earthshaking event, changing the power grid of the entire Heaven Primal world.

The elimination of buddhism! (TL: Interesting fact, this has occurred multiple times in the history of China.)

The Great Zhou Dynasty joined together with many other forces and led a campaign against one of the world's three great holy lands located in the borders of the Zhou Dynasty, the Great Thunder Monastery.

The battle was tragic to the extreme, countless masters died in battle and there were even numerous primordial spirit stage cultivators who died.

In the end Liang Pan and Zhu Hongwu succeeded, from that point onwards the Great Thunder Monastery was erased from this world. Of the world's three great holy lands only the Void Temple and the Mt. Shu Sword Sect remained.

The Void Temple is the daoist holy land and is likewise in opposition against the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because of her relationship with Zhu Hongwu, Meng Bingyun was even swept out of the sect and moreover was nearly executed.

If the story ended there then Meng Bingyun living lovingly together with Zhu Hongwu could sort of be considered a beautiful story of love. But for Meng Bingyun, marrying into the house of the Marquis of Xuanji was just the start of the nightmare.

Because of the dao technique that she practiced, when Meng Bingyun entered into the world to train she went deep into the mundane world and became a courtesan in a brothel who only sells her talent and not her body. Marrying into the house of the Marquis of Xuanji that attaches great importance to etiquette and education, regardless of how brightly she shone before her marriage she couldn't be anything but a small concubine.

No dao techniques and cultivation, no family status, the past holy maiden of the Void Temple was actually bullied to death by a woman of the house who was just a regular person.

Listening until here Lin Feng also deeply sighed: "The house of a noble is as deep as the sea, a strong figure like Zhu Hongwu, even if he falls in love, in the face of strength and power it is completely insignificant."

After sighing about it for a moment Lin Feng thought of his main goal: "Then what about that son of Meng Bingyun's?"

The little taotie shook her head: "I've only heard that Meng Bingyun had a son with Zhu Hongwu, I think his name is Zhu Yi? Strange name…"

"Like Meng Bingyun his situation is also very bad, things are probably even worse after Meng Bingyun's death. Although I don't know about the details and don't know if he's alive or dead right now."

Lin Feng slightly frowned: "Looks like I need to get to the Zhou Dynasty as soon as possible."

After reinforcing the Heaven Cage Sigil Lin Feng's consciousness retreated from the ring. Even though he wants to immediately leave and go towards the Zhou Dynasty to search for Zhu Yi, there are still problems at hand that need to be solved. Such as the fire energy that invaded Lin Feng's body that he's been using his own mana to suppress the entire time.

"The lottery draw this time has to be good." Lin Feng silently prayed, his consciousness entering into the lottery system.

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

The third time engaging in a lottery draw, Lin Feng's primary goal is a fire class dao technique , his second goal is an item that can resolve the remaining fire energy in his body,

A portion of the fire energy devoured and then spit out by the taotie remains in Lin Feng's body, causing his entire body to feel hot and his internal organs to feel as if they are on fire.

Even though he can resolve it using his own mana, he'll undoubtedly need to suffer for a longer period of time.

In practising a fire class dao technique, not only can he resolve this fire energy, he can instead use this energy to increase his own level.

As always, Lin Feng first looked at the possible rewards listed out by the wheel and dice system.

The dice system has a medicinal ingredient called Crimson Pearl Frost Pellet, it can effectively cure the damage caused by the fire mana.

The wheel system on the other hand has two fire class dao techniques, one Scorching Sun Battle Qi and one incomplete Art of Acala. (TL: Acala.)

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, not speaking of whether or not he'll definitely get the Crimson Pearl Frost Pellet, even if he gets it he'll only be able to settle his own injuries and won't be able to resolve his urgent need for a fire class dao technique.

"Let's go with the wheel system." Lin Feng made his decision, with two targets to shoot for the success rate is also a lot higher.

Of the dao techniques, relatively speaking Scorching Sun Battle Qi is more low-end and can cultivate Scorching Sun Fire.

Scorching Sun Fire can only be considered so-so, but it is the foundation of one of the seven great absolute flames, Absolute Solar Flame. If cultivators who have cultivated Scorching Sun Fire can obtain the Art of the Rising Sun then they can cultivate Absolute Oriana Fire. (TL: Oriana according to my google research is a name that means rising sun/sunrise in Latin.)

If those who have cultivated Absolute Oriana Fire can learn the Absolute Solar Flame Technique then they'll be able to cultivate the Absolute Solar Flame of the seven great absolute flames.

Even though it's very troublesome, at least it has room for improvement.

The other dao technique the Art of Acala is different, it can cultivate Fury Acala Fire. Its power is second only to the seven great absolute flames and is moreover above the Absolute Oriana Flame. Compared to the Scorching Sun Fire it is especially countless levels higher. (TL: I might change the name for Fury Acala Fire, but it'll still be about the same.)

Originally at the current system's level it's unable to give out the Art of Acala, but because it's an incomplete fragment with just the first half it was able to randomly appear.

But facing these two dao techniques Lin Feng fell into a struggle.

Because based on the explanation, this Art of Acala is precisely one of the secret dao techniques of the past buddhist holy land the Great Thunder Monastery. Even in the Great Thunder Monastery that kind of holy land it was a highly-ranked top-notch dao technique, since the fall of the Great Thunder Monastery it's virtually been lost.

In the past it was too famous, now if he uses it after practising it, it'll be recognised by people with a glance.

Next up he's going to bring Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian to head towards the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty Tianjing City, at the time it was precisely the Great Zhou Dynasty that lead the siege against the Great Thunder Monastery. If their whereabouts are exposed will they be seen as survivors of the monastery and hunted?

This isn't a joke, to this day the Great Zhou Dynasty still forbids Buddhist activity within its borders, carrying out brutal hunts against monks who escaped after the fall of the Great Thunder Monastery.

The same line, with a main character like Xiao Yan, once he leaves Wuzhou City this novice village there will immediately be countless enemies screaming and rushing towards him, completely unavoidable.

If he obtains the Art of Acala and passes it on to Xiao Yan, once he fights within the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty and reveals it, Ling Feng and co. will immediately fall into trouble.

After thinking carefully Ling Feng felt that he should aim for the Scorching Sun Battle Qi. Even though currently its level is a bit low, it wins in having no future troubles.

For the moment he owes Xiao Yan a bit, all he can do is make up for it in the future and think of a way to get the Art of the Rising Sun and the Absolute Solar Flame Technique, that way it won't delay him.

The reason that he said to set the Scorching Sun Battle Qi as his target is because Lin Feng has a guess about the wheel system.

The spinning of the wheel follows Lin Feng's thoughts, it starts to spin when he wants it to spin.

This is different from a real, physical wheel. With a real wheel people use their hands to spin it, the amount of strength used will directly influence the spinning of the wheel.

This virtual wheel system, will its rotation have a set pattern?

Lin Feng stared at the wheel. Based on the experience last time of getting the spirit calming grass, the wheel will rotate approximately three and a half times. If this pattern is fixed then the Scorching Sun Battle Qi is in the number '9' grid. Like this he should start spinning from number "18" or "1" this time.

Lin Feng chose "18", silently praying in his heart: "Come on!" The mystery chest may be nice but right now he doesn't want it, who knows if it'll give out what he needs the most right now.

After Lin Feng gave the confirmation in his heart, the wheel started to rapidly spin.

"One round, two rounds… Three!" Lin Feng closely stared at it, silently praying: "Half a circle, half a circle… Half a circle! Shit, stop!"

What made Lin Feng disappointed is that after the wheel spun around half a circle, it did not stop on the number 9 grid of the Scorching Sun Battle Qi but instead moved another four grids forwards and then slowly stopped.

The thirteenth grid… the Art of Acala!

Lin Feng already knew what it was without even needing to look. Before spinning the wheel he'd already observed everything. Right now he had a wry smile on his face: "System, are you purposely screwing with me?"

"Lottery finished." Following the mechanical system notification sound, Lin Feng backed out of the lottery system with a wry smile. Lines of a scripture clearly appeared in his head, it is precisely the contents of the first half of the Art of Acala.

Is the Art of Acala good?

Just looking at it from the level of a dao technique of course it's good. If it were the full version then it would virtually the on the same level as the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique.

Lin Feng shook his head: "So be it, in any case it's also a pretty good dao technique. It's just who knows when I'll be able to get the lower half." He made up his mind, after leaving Wuzhou City he has to keep a close eye on Xiao Yan.

If something really does happen then he'll simply do what needs to be done. He absolutely will not allow this information to leak out, Lin Feng doesn't want to be wanted and hunted after just entering into the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Lin Feng started to circulate his mana according to the essentials of the Art of Acala, attempting to channel the fire energy in his body.

After just starting Lin Feng suddenly felt that something was wrong. His pure thunder mana that originates from the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique was actually rapidly being converted in his meridian points, turning into fiery flames.

The seven meridian points that he'd already unlocked were currently filled by blazing, pure fire mana.

Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "This feeling, it's practically like I was practising the Art of Acala from the very beginning and thus advanced to qi disciple level 7.

While thinking Lin Feng used the Art of Acala, using the blazing fire mana in his meridian points to channel the fire energy that had invaded his body.

This fire energy had been suppressed by Lin Feng's thunder mana the whole time. Even though it can't do anything big, it has always been strongly fighting back without any signs of yielding, stubbornly resisting until the end.

But right now coming in contact with the fire mana cultivated from the Art of Acala, it was immediately like a wanderer away from home who had suddenly seen his family, joyfully mixing within.

In an instant the fire mana in Lin Feng's body surged, unexpectedly rushing towards Lin Feng's not yet unlocked eighth meridian point.

"Boom!"

In the roaring sound, the fierce fire mana directly charged open the eighth meridian point like an explosive, twisting and spiraling within it.

Lin Feng was pleasantly surprised, just like this he actually accidently got to qi disciple level 8.

What made him even more pleasantly surprised is that with a single thought, the originally blazing fire mana instantly released the crackling sounds of an electric current, turning back into thunder class mana.

The thunder mana in his eighth meridian point did not have any discomfort, just as if Lin Feng had originally opened up the eighth meridian point using thunder class mana and thus advanced from qi disciple level 7 to qi disciple level 8.

Lin Feng was extremely excited: "Just like how people can't see through my level, this can also be considered a hidden benefit of the system, right? I can freely change my core dao technique, regardless of what dao technique I learn the level of my mana can instantly be upgraded to my current level.

In the cultivating world there is no shortage of cultivators who practise multiple dao techniques together, but those are usually great cultivators at a very high stage who practise other dao techniques together to break through the bottleneck that they've reached. They hope to achieve the effect of comprehending by analogy and improving themselves.

As for lower levelled cultivators, there is not even enough time to practise one dao technique. If they go and practise multiple dao techniques together, the final result will be that they are unable to comprehend the true profundities of any of them.

Not to mention a lot of the different kinds of mana cultivated from different dao techniques are incompatible, some even restrain each other like fire and water. After practising it not only are there no benefits, it will instead also affect one's cultivation.

Even great primordial spirit stage cultivators all have their own core dao technique. It is the basis of all cultivation, even if they practise other dao techniques they only have a supporting role.

But now no matter how many different dao techniques Lin Feng practises he will be able flexibly and freely switch between them. For his cultivation this has many benefits.

Not speaking of hiding his strength and identity thus causing the opponent to be unable to grasp his background, just in terms of cultivating speed Lin Feng has gained a big advantage.

For example today, originally relying upon the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique Lin Feng would not have advanced to qi disciple level 8 so soon. But because of special reasons this time his body accumulated a lot of fire energy, and so relying on the fire class dao technique the Art of Acala he used this outside spiritual energy that he'd assimilated to advance to qi disciple level 8 in one go.

Feeling the abundant mana in his body Lin Feng was full of delight, even the mixed feelings he had from getting the Art of Acala before became a lot weaker.

He returned to Xiao Yan and Yan Mingyue's location. Yan Mingyue had already finished teaching the ability of Red Lotus Burst and Xiao Yan was in the middle of lowering his head and making his own understandings.

Yan Mingyue saw Lin Feng walking over, a light flashing by in her eyes: "Fellow Daoist Lin seems to have encountered a joyous event?"

If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know report chapter so we can fix it as soon as possible.

Report chapter

In the gentle breeze Yan Mingyue's green gown flew in the wind, like a faerie descended to the mortal realm, isolated in the world.

She lightly laughed saying: "Fellow Daoist Lin seems to have come across a joyous event?"

Lin Feng laughed lightly, his gaze sweeping towards Xiao Yan. As if nothing had happened he said: "Naturally it is a joyous event gaining such an amazing disciple."

Yan Mingyue smiled faintly, not saying anything else.

Xiao Yan who was originally indulged in comprehending the ability of Red Lotus Burst also returned to his senses at this time, his gaze looking at Lin Feng filled with earnest.

Lin Feng nodded his head, gradually retracting his smile and saying seriously: "Even though in this three year's time your level did not make the slightest advancements, you never gave up and instead practised unremittingly. This is very good and very rare."

Being able to be a main character he naturally possesses something special, Xiao Yan's will of 9 is definitely not a joke.

What is will, it is mind and spirit.

The Heaven Primal world has more than hundreds of millions of beings, there are actually a lot of prodigies with outstanding talent and comprehension, but only a few are able to truly make some achievements. What decides how far they can go in the future and to what degree they can exert their outstanding talent is their will.

Those with a strong will naturally will go further than those with the same talent.

Lin Feng stared at Xiao Yan, slowly saying: "It is precisely because you've persevered this entire time that your foundation is more solid than regular people and you've accumulated a deep enough understanding, thus in the future when you advance to higher stages you will have fewer bottlenecks. It appears as though you've wasted three years, but in the future you will discover that you can very easily make up for these three years.

Xiao Yan was a bit stunned. He really didn't know that these nightmarish three years could bring about something good.

"Then when will you teach me dao techniques?" Turning his eyes Xiao Yan placed his sights on the most important thing.

Yan Mingyue at the side suddenly interrupted saying: "Fellow Daoist Lin, I see that little disciple of yours seems to be practising a thunder class dao technique."

Hearing this Xiao Yan was surprised. Before when he was learning Red Lotus Burst Yan Mingyue told him that he is more suited to practising fire class dao techniques. If master only knows thunder class dao techniques then no matter how profound and powerful the dao technique is, for him there will always be a slight feeling of regret.

Lin Feng smiled faintly: "This little guy is suited to practise thunder class dao techniques, thus I taught him a thunder class dao technique. As a teacher one must teach students in accordance to their aptitude."

What this means is that he knows more than just one dao technique and naturally has a suitable dao technique to teach to Xiao Yan.

Hearing this Xiao Yan instantly relaxed.

In her heart she had a new evaluation towards Lin Feng's strength.Yan Mingyue also smiled and nodded her head, not saying anything more.

Your average wandering cultivators are all people who have obtained the legacies of great ancient cultivators by chance and thus stepped upon the path of cultivation. Being able to obtain one dao technique is already great fortune.

If Lin Feng possesses different dao techniques and they are all comparatively profound dao techniques, then Lin Feng's strength cannot be measured by the standards of regular wandering cultivators.

Right now Yan Mingyue even suspects if Lin Feng is a hermit cultivator from some big sect who suddenly entered into the world?

On the other hand, at this moment Xiao Yan secretly glanced at Xiao Budian. Thinking of something he instantly pulled a long face.

Lin Feng knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart while on the surface he said towards him with a straight face: "From today onwards you are my eldest disciple, temporarily taking the position of the head disciple. As the eldest disciple, when I take in new disciples in the future you must act as an example for them." (TL: The head disciple is the one that will take on the role of leader of the sect when the leader steps down…I think.)

Xiao Yan was dazed, his gaze floating towards Xiao Budian and seeing Xiao Budian looking at him with a grin.

Lin Feng disregarded Xiao Yan's little actions, patting Xiao Budian's noggin and continuing to say: "This is your junior, Shi Tianhao, as the senior take good care of him."

Xiao Yan promptly nodded his head, his little head like a chick pecking at rice and rejoicing in his heart. Just now he thought he would have to call this little guy senior and he felt really awkward. He had no idea that he was actually the head disciple.

In the future the disciples that Lin Feng takes in will all have to call him senior, Xiao Yan was delighted in his heart.

Xiao Budian walked forward, lifting up his youthful, little face and saluting scrupulously: "Greetings eldest apprentice brother." He's clearly just a little guy but he just has to act old and mature, no matter how you look at him he's cute.

Xiao Yan was also amused by him: "Don't worry, if there's anything in the future come find me, I'll cover…" Speaking up to here he abruptly stopped. At this time Xiao Yan suddenly remembered that this cute looking little guy before him is actually a true to god qi disciple level 4 cultivator.

A qi disciple level 4 cultivator not even four years of age…

Thinking here Xiao Yan's forehead instantly started to sweat. Right now his level is only at qi disciple level 1, compared to this junior he's a lot further behind, who knows who'll be covering who.

Xiao Yan lifted his eyes looking at Lin Feng, seeing that Lin Feng was also staring at him, his gaze harboring motivational spur and also testing.

"Rest assured master, I will definitely put in double the effort in training." Xiao Yan was instantly inspired, quieting down and saying seriously.

Are you kidding, as the eldest disciple his level isn't even as high as his junior, what kind of joke is that?

Lin Feng nodded his head in satisfaction: "I'm not just joking about telling you to take care of your junior. Even regular mundane families know that older brothers should take care of their younger siblings. In the future when your juniors are in trouble you'll have to stand up for them as the eldest apprentice brother."

"If you get beat by other youngsters then fight back yourselves, don't be like a child who hasn't grown up and come crying to me. I don't have such good-for-nothing disciples."

"Don't be afraid if you beat the young one and the old one comes out. At that time master will stand up for you guys."

Xiao Budian at the side also shouted saying: "Yeah master, I will also go help eldest apprentice brother!"

Lin Feng couldn't help laughing, poking his little head: "You just desire to stir up disaster." He turned his head saying to Xiao Yan: "Go back and prepare, make your arrangements at home. We leave Wuzhou in three days."

"In these three days you can also come to the lakeside at any time. I will teach you dao techniques." Lin Feng glanced at Yan Mingyue: "In addition collect the other ingredients Fellow Daoist Yan requires to make the soul anchoring pill."

Xiao Yan nodded his head saying yes. Yan Mingyue at the side smiled faintly and said: "Thank you for the trouble. I'll also wait at this lakeside for these three days." Xiao Yan has already taken Lin Feng as his master, naturally she cannot move around with Xiao Yan anymore.

After Xiao Yan left Lin Feng and Yan Mingyue stood face to face, for a moment they were both silent.

Xiao Budian also did not make a sound, just quietly standing at Lin Feng's side. He may be playful but he is far more intelligent than children of the same age. He can sense that the atmosphere between his master and that beautiful big sister is quite strange.

After a long silence Lin Feng spoke out first: "What plans does Fellow Daoist Yan have for the future?"

He already knows from the little taotie that this green-gowned beauty before him is not a regular disciple of the Void Temple. She is the new Daoist Wayfarer after Meng Bingyun, namely the new Void Temple Holy Maiden as the outside world is used to saying.

After going down together with Long Ye 10 years ago, Yan Mingyue was forced to take shelter in this ring to recuperate. Towards the outside world Yan Mingyue is in a MIA status where her life and death is unknown.

Without doubt, the Void Temple's Holy Maiden going missing is like an earthquake for the entire Heaven Primal world.

The previous and later Daoist Wayfarer both had a bad fate, in terms of prestige the Void Temple also took a relatively big hit. To recover and cope with it the Void Temple will most likely push out a new Daoist Wayfarer very quickly.

The Void Temple will put even more focus on training this new person, they will even bestow upon him/her some authority and resources not even his/her predecessor had.

With Yan Mingyue's intelligence how could she not have thought of all this? But she was still completely indifferent on the appearance, lightly saying with a smile: "I ask Fellow Daoist Lin to point out to me, where did you meet Long Ye before? After I stabilize my spirit I will go look for her first."

Lin Feng was slightly stunned. You two have so much hatred, did she steal your man?

Yan Mingyue smiled faintly, saying openly: "She has something in her hands that regardless of me or my sect have to try and get back."

Bet you were like "Woah, no comments at the top"… Yeah I have nothing to say.

"She has something in her hands that regardless of me or my sect have to try and get back."

Yan Mingyue's voice was calm but Lin Feng knows that the item in Long Ye's hands is definitely not ordinary.

Now he also knows why Yan Mingyue is not worried about her circumstances after returning to her sect, and understands why Yan Mingyue is in a rush to go find Long Ye.

If she can successfully take back that item from Long Ye then when she returns to her sect in the future, nobody will dare to neglect her.

Understanding this Lin Feng gave a crisp response: "Where that Long Ye is right now I do not know. I just met this demon a month ago in the Boundless Mountains northeast of Wuzhou City."

Lin Feng said in his heart, let these two archrivals keep fighting. With Yan Mingyue getting into action no matter how good that female demon's memory is she won't be able to remember to come looking for him, right?

He rubbed Xiao Budian's head saying: "That is a little village in the mountains, the demon inhabited an old peach tree and suddenly woke up, endangering the lives of the villagers. I just happened to pass by and dispelled her evil ways, also saving this little guy."

Lin Feng asked Yan Mingyue: "What is this Long Ye's true form? I see that she is not a regular tree demon."

Yan Mingyue lightly sighed: "Thou art correct. That peach tree is simply a place of shelter she found while injured. Her original body was slain by me 10 years, it is spiritual plant of the world, a Jade Tree of Knowledge.

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

All beings have a spirit, even plants and rocks can become demons, but the difficulty is a lot greater compared to your average beasts and demonkin. Although once plant demons achieve success in cultivation their vitality and mana are both incredibly powerful.

The cultivating potential of plant demons is directly related to their plant type, the highest-tier plants among them are the four great divine trees of the world.

They are the Sacred Phoenix Tree, the Shorea Sago Tree, the Ginseng Fruit Tree and… the Jade Tree of Knowledge!

Lin Feng never thought that that Long Ye who's keeping her mind on him is actually a Jade Tree of Knowledge demon. Amongst the human race, this kind of base talent is definitely on the same level as Xiao Budian. No wonder she can be Yan Mingyue's archrival.

Lin Feng's pressure is as big as a mountain from being remembered by such a great demon. On the surface he was indifferent, nodding his head: "No wonder she could still cause trouble and do evil under that kind of condition of having lost her original body with just her spirit remaining. At the time I did not know her background or else I would've have eliminated her while I was at it."

Yan Mingyue nodded her head: "Long Ye is the direct disciple of the demon clan's great saint Tian Mei. She practises the demon clan's supreme dao technique the "Heavenly Path Demon Scripture". I've fought many times against her in the past, ending in a draw each time. If we fought to the death it would be a result where we both perish together."

Speaking here Yan Mingyue lightly smiled: "I need to thank you. Long Ye was gravely wounded by you causing her 10 years of recovery to virtually be in vain. But I have obtained the aid of the spirit calming grass and have hope of taking my recovery a step further. With this difference I have a greater chance of victory when I go looking for her."

Lin Feng answered indifferently: "Unintentional acts, I do not dare to take the credit." Yet in his heart he said: "That's right, you hurry up and go settle things with her."

In the following three days, Lin Feng quietly waited at the lakeside with Xiao Budian and Yan Mingyue.

In the big fight with the Blaze Sword Sect before, even though it created a big commotion, it looks like Xiao Zhener has already used some unknown method to persuade the Xiao family. Not only has the entire Xiao family maintained silence, the old clan leader even personally went to the mayor's mansion and stayed there for half a day.

After the old clan leader visited him the mayor came out and took everything under control. The forces ready to make a move all ceased action.

Wuzhou regained its peace, nobody came to the lakeside to investigate and in this period of time the area around the little lake north of the city became a restricted area.

Xiao Zhener did not reveal Xiao Yan, in these few days the black-clothed youth was as usual. Nobody realized that the phenomenon at the lakeside was related to him. Moreover nobody could have guessed that an earthshaking change had already occurred to this youth's fate.

In these three days Xiao Yan was so busy that his feet practically never touched the ground. Searching for medicine, packing up, and he also has to go to the lakeside to learn dao techniques from Lin Feng. He already couldn't wait to get stronger.

Lin Feng did not avoid Yan Mingyue, directly passing on to Xiao Yan the Art of Acala.

After just learning the Art of Acala Xiao Yan already realized the extraordinariness of this dao technique, it is far superior to the Xiao family dao technique he practises. His spirit being roused, he put all of his heart into training.

An extra hint of inquiry was contained in Yan Mingyue's gaze looking at Lin Feng. With her knowledge she saw through the origins of the Art of Acala with one glance, in her heart she felt that Lin Feng was becoming increasingly mysterious: "He clearly dresses as a daoist but why does he know the secret dao technique of the Great Thunder Monastery?"

"Is it that he himself is a monk who escaped from Great Thunder Monastery and is now dressing as a daoist to fool people? Or did he happen to obtain a dao technique that spread out after the fall of the Great Thunder Monastery?"

Lin Feng turned a blind eye towards Yan Mingyue's probing gaze. Right now he is looking at his two disciples eating cultivation pills like eating candy and feeling heartbroken: "Slow down you two spendthrifts, slow down! If you guys continue eating like this master will go bankrupt soon."

To quickly increase the levels of his two disciples and also to quickly increase his own strength, Lin Feng used all of the 500 trading points rewarded from the system after taking in Xiao Yan as his disciple to exchange for all kinds of medicines and panaceas that give a boost in cultivation.

The result is that these two little twerps really didn't hesitate, opening their mouths and eating like crazy, causing Lin Feng to feel in pain.

But eating like this naturally has its effects. The foundation that Xiao Yan painfully built-up for the past three years finally paid-off and revealed its power.

Without Yan Mingyue and the taotie dragging him down, with the Art of Acala matched with massive amounts of cultivation pills Xiao Yan directly charged open a meridian point and advanced to qi disciple level 2 in his first day of training!

In three day's time Xiao Yan had already arrived at the peak of qi disciple level 2. All he has to do is open up the barrier sealing the third meridian point and he will be at qi disciple level 3.

Sure enough, after the marriage-annulment this kid's aura of hegemony surged forward and roared like the Yellow River flooding over, completely unstoppable.

This kind of cultivation speed made Lin Feng look at the sky in speechlessness: "Coach, I'd also like a marriage-annulment…"

Not only him, Yan Mingyue and Xiao Budian were also shocked by this visible training speed of Xiao Yan's.

Not sure whether or not she sensed that turbulent aura of hegemony of Xiao Yan's, Yan Mingyue lightly sighed: "Fellow Daoist Lin has good eyesight, Mingyue even feels a bit regretful right now."

Lin Feng let out a long laugh: "You flatter me Fellow Daoist Yan." He looked at Xiao Yan saying: "Go say goodbye to your little friend, we're leaving now."

Xiao Yan nodded his head, walking to the front of Xiao Zhener at the side. The little girl's eyes harbored deep affection and sadness.

Xiao Zhener did not say anything, extending her delicate, white little hands and like usual, seriously straightening that slightly wrinkled shirt of Xiao Yan's.

Seeing Zhener straightening his shirt like a little wife, Xiao Yan felt a bit restless. In silence his breathing gradually became rushed, a hint of passion rising up in his eyes.

Originally Xiao Zhener was completely wrapped up in sadness, but lifting up her head and noticing Xiao Yan's gaze her face couldn't help but become slightly flushed: "Wh… What are you looking at?"

Xiao Yan woke up, seeing the gentle and elegant girl before him the youth's expression became extremely serious: "I will definitely come back to see you."

A layer of moisture was cast over Xiao Zhener's eyes, she said with a smile: "I'll wait for Xiao ge-ge to come back and take back the glory that belongs to you."

Lin Feng secretly exclaimed at the side, the boy comes riding on a bamboo horse, trotting in circles around the bed and throwing green plums. (TL: Part of a poem by Li Bai called A Poem/Song of Changgan that speaks of childhood sweethearts and innocent love.)

Childhood sweethearts, a love of the purest kind.

He looked at Yan Mingyue beside him: "Fellow Daoist Yan, we say goodbye here, I wish you smooth sailings on your trip."

Right now Yan Mingyue has already used the soul anchoring pill, beautifully standing on the ground her aura was concentrated. She looks no different from a real person.

A complex look flashed by in that pair of eyes like the moonlight. Yan Mingyue smiled tranquilly: "Take care too Fellow Daoist Lin."

Lin Feng nodded his head, bringing along Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian and hitting the road. Facing the warm morning sun and looking at his two disciples behind him, Lin Feng was a bit high-spirited: "Zhu Yi, wait for master you kid, master is coming!"

Thousands of miles away from Wuzhou, a group of red-clothed people were gathered together, all of them looking depressed.

"Bam!"

A red-clothed youth was sent flying away with a slap, nobody felt sympathy towards him, instead they all had an expression of satisfaction seeing him get hit.

Zhang Nan had an expression of anguish but he did not dare to speak. Because the person hitting him is precisely the aurous core stage cultivator Elder Li.

At this time the red-haired old man finally caught his breath, but his wounds were very serious. He was already panting heavily from this bit of movement.

He stared at Zhang Nan saying angrily: "The reason I hit you is not because you recommended that whelp with outstanding talent, but because you did not grasp hold of the other party's background, do you understand?

One of the foundation establishment stage cultivators asked after hesitating: "Martial uncle, do we still want to…"

A hint of fear flickered in Elder Li's eyes but was then quickly covered by anger: "Of course we can't just let it go, or else how will we the Blaze Sword Sect continue to establish ourselves? We must have our vengeance!"

"Oh? What vengeance does your sect have, why don't you tell me? The Nine Heaven Sword Alliance acts as one, I don't mind giving a small helping hand."

The sound of light laughter rose up in the air. The faces of the group of Blaze Sword Sect cultivators all changed colours. The other party is already close at hand and yet they were completely unaware.

Elder Li suddenly turned his head. What appeared in his vision was youth clothed in snow-white garbs wearing a green bamboo hat. He was laughing leisurely but that completely undisguised mana fluctuation told everybody there that this is an aurous core stage cultivator.

The youth's expression was natural. Don't mention that Elder Li is currently seriously injured, even if the old geezer was in top condition he still wouldn't care.

Because his sword is stronger.

The part of him that attracts the most attention is the sword at his waist, on the scabbard is carved a decorous and ancient landscape carving.

That is the sign of the holy land of the way of the sword, the Mt. Shu Sword Sect!

The Heaven Primal world is vast in territory. Lin Feng used all kinds of methods and still used three months of time, experiencing a long and arduous journey before finally rushing over to the Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial capital, Tianjing.

At this moment Lin Feng deeply felt that his level was honestly too low, valuable time all wasted on travelling.

In this world, a thousand miles in an instant is a small case for high-levelled cultivators.

Of course, when with his two disciples it's obviously a different explanation, euphemistically it's to let the two people experience more training.

Although Lin Feng did not just waste these three months, besides travelling he also trained serioiusly.

After fighting with the Blaze Sword Sect's Elder Li, Lin Feng had a deep sense of danger. For the current him, aurous core stage cultivators are giant-like existences. One of their leg hairs is even thicker than his waist. (TL: Metaphorical, he's just emphasizing the great difference.)

Last time he was only able to repel Elder Li by using the taotie and thus successfully pretending to be a boss. But that was simply skillful manipulation, he was only able to succeed because everything was in his favor.

But after that attack of Elder Li's the taotie has become very weakened. Using the little loli's own words it's: "Even more serious than the injury three years ago." Right now wanting to use the little taotie again to withstand the attack of an aurous core stage cultivator is entirely a pipe dream.

Without the little taotie, don't mention aurous core stage cultivators, even foundation establishment stage cultivators are enough to give Lin Feng a run for his money. If he doesn't succeed in ambushing them then he has no chance of victory in a head-on fight.

Thus right now besides travelling, the rest of Lin Feng's time is all spent on practising dao techniques. To increase his level as quickly as possible he reluctantly absorbed another portion of the thunder energy within the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade.

Right now there is already very little spiritual energy remaining in the Heaven Thunder Moon Jade. If he uses it to sustain the Northern Aurora Sword to release Northern Aurora Mystic Light then it is only enough for two shots.

Although hard work always pays off, on the road Lin Feng advanced to qi disciple level 9 and when they finally arrived at the Zhou Dynasty's capital Tianjing City, Lin Feng went another step forward and opened the tenth meridian point of the 12 levels, successfully advancing to qi disciple level 10.

Lin Feng was actually pretty satisfied towards his cultivation speed. Even though the novice gift let him directly jump up to qi disciple level 4, advancing to qi disciple level 10 in a mere half-a-year's time is still an amazing feat in the entire Heaven Primal world.

Although, against his two prodigious disciples Lin Feng's pressure was still very big.

Xiao Budian is a no brainer, advancing from qi disciple level 4 to qi disciple level 7. At the very most the little guy is still a month away before turning 4.

Reaching qi disciple level 7 at four years of age, it's enough to make countless cultivators of the present and past die of embarrassment.

As for Xiao Yan, he really is about to rise up. In the past he once cultivated up to the great circle of perfection of qi disciple level 12. Training back up from the beginning he has quite the familiar feeling.

Just like Lin Feng said, with a strong enough foundation there will be less bottlenecks when re-starting. For other people, the level-blocks that they fear are easy as pie for Xiao Yan.

When they reached Tianjing City Xiao Yan had already reached qi disciple level 6. His monstrous cultivation speed was not at all inferior to Xiao Budian's.

The current Xiao Yan is high-spirited and working vigorously, completely rid of the cold and depressed aura of the past.

The only thing making the black-clothed youth distressed is that the task of milk dad has fallen upon his head while Lin Feng is enjoying life.

Entering into Tianjing City, Lin Feng didn't stop to appreciate the bustling scene within, heading straight towards his destination, the House of the Marquis of Xuanji,

The House of the Marquis of Xuanji is located in the south-east quarters of Tianjing City, covering 100 acres of land on open terrain. Outside of the big vermilion gates is a pair of red painted stone kirins three people tall, containing an imposing grandeur.

Outside of the house stands a row of full spirited, imposing family servants. Completely unlike the servants of other families who chatter while on duty and only think of being lazy, these family servants do not communicate between themselves, all staring sharply and cautiously at the passerbys in front of the house.

What made Lin Feng frown even more is that these family servants are actually all well-practised cultivators, even the worst possess a level of qi disciple level 6.

Cultivators are actually standing here watching the door for someone else, moreover they don't have any hint of embarrassment, on the contrary their working attitude is extremely serious. Clearly they think that this is a job that does not disgrace them.

The Zhou Dynasty's Grand Preceptor, the Marquis of Xuanji Zhu Hongwu's power and status is fully displayed in these small details.

Reportedly Zhu Hongwu himself is a great cultivator at an extremely high level, dominating the world with his might. In the siege against the Great Thunder Monastery in the past he stood at the very front and was a main force in the elimination of buddhism.

"Seeing this today it looks like the rumours are not false." Lin Feng frowned. Like this the difficulty of taking in Zhu Yi as his disciple has become increasingly greater.

He even doesn't know Zhu Yi's precise location, the house is not easy to enter. If he can't even see the person than how does he take him in?

First settling down Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian, Lin Feng then wandered over to the vicinity of the House of the Marquis of Xuanji by himself.

There's no use being anxious so Lin Feng simply relaxed his mood, finding a tea house around the house of the Marquis and getting a pot of tea. Looking at the house of the marquis from far away he carefully thought of a plan in his heart.

The waiter put down the tea pot, his eyes turning on Lin Feng's stainless daoist clothes and revealing a smiling face: "If you're talking about great men, people commonly compliment that this person is the avatar of the Star of Knowledge or that person is the avatar of the Star of War. But if you ask me they are all incomparable to the Marquis of Xuanji.

"Not only does the Marquis of Xuanji possess a grand title, he holds the highest position in court, holding the positions of senior grand secretary of Cabinet and teacher of the prince. He is adept with both the pen and the sword, crusading through the world, beheading enemy generals and capturing their flags like strolling in a park." The waiter's saliva was flying everywhere: "After establishing great military achievements at 22 years of age he then abandoned the military and started learning the pen, earning third place in the civil examinations. It's this kind of person that truly deserves a big thumbs up!"

Towards the waiter's thumb right in front of his face Lin Feng smiled faintly, occasionally listening to his cackle, his eyes still staring at the House of the Marquis of Xuanji.

"Discovered target suitable to become host's direct disciple."

Lin Feng was in the middle of drinking tea when he heard the notification sound that suddenly rose up, the tea in his mouth almost spraying onto the waiter's face.

Putting down the tea cup Lin Feng scanned the pedestrian's on the street, his gaze finally locking onto a green-clothed youth. The system's notification sound also unmistakably told him that this he is the target.

Closely examining him, this green-clothed youth is 15, 16 years of age with a handsome face and a slightly thin body.

He looks entirely like a feeble scholar, but there is a faint awe-inspiring righteousness between his brows, his gaze warm and soft but also possessing a strict integrity, causing the treacherous to not dare to attack him.

The system's voice rose up beside Lin Feng's ears: "Talent system has finished organizing data, target number four's data is as so."

"Bone Root - 7, Comprehension - 8, Will - 9, Blessings- 10."

"Conclusion: Target's talent in extremely high, recommended to take in as a disciple and carefully guide him, he will definitely become a pillar of the sect."

Lin Feng did not see anything else, his eyes staring straight at that blood red "10" after blessings.

After Xiao Budian he's finally met a second person who possesses a max value for one attribute.

Blessings is one's fate, blessings and karma, basically it's luck.

A blessing of 10, what does that mean?

It means that if he picks up a piece of junk then it'll be an ancient divine artifact, if he takes out an old book there will be peerless technique hiding within, even if he meets a tough and powerful opponent he doesn't need to worry, that is the transportation captain coming to give him treasure and experience… A blessing of 10, even if this guy randomly finds a tree to go to the washroom behind he'll be able to step on a divine herb!

Lin Feng let out long breath: "There's no mistake, it's him!"

Seeing that youth walk into the House of the Marquis of Xuanji he pointed his lips towards him, asking the waiter: "Who's that green-clothed youth?"

The waiter hesitated for a moment. Lin Feng smiled, silently sending over some silver, smiling and saying as if nothing had happened: "He dresses simply and does not seem to have any status within the house of the Marquis, but he has a stern bearing and does not seem like a servant."

"Good eyesight, that person's name is Zhu Yi, he is the bastard of the Marquis. I heard that his birth mother is from a brothel and has already died from sickness a while ago." The waiter bit his teeth, taking the silver and lowering his voice saying: "Although I heard that he's quite knowledgeable and is in the middle of preparing to participate in the civil examinations at the start of spring and the fall. If he really is able to succeed then that could also be considered good fortune. After all, a bastard like him simply doesn't have the right to succeed his father's title and wealth."

While speaking the waiter sighed: "If we're talking about this Young Master Yi, his personality is pretty good. He's come to our place before to drink tea, he's also quite polite, but… But his situation is the house of the Marquis seems to be average."

"A few days ago he was muttering about moving out of the house, going to the temple on the mountain outside of the city to stay there for a period of time in order to concentrate on studying."

Listening here Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Not too far behind him, two seemingly ordinary customers heard this remark, looking at each other their eyes also lit up with an unclear light.

Report chapter

Lin Feng does not plan on entering the House of the Marquis of Xuanji,

Not mentioning whether or not the Marquis of Xuanji himself is at home, there won't be a lack of other experts holding down the fort.

Since he already knows that Zhu Yi has thoughts of leaving the house of the Marquis,j Lin Feng decided to simply wait patiently.

Sure enough, after 10 days Zhu Yi carried a cloth baggage, heading on-foot towards Spring Mountain outside of Tianjing City.

He's preparing to participate in the imperial examinations and doesn't want to be bullied within the house. So he decided to simply go live on Spring Mountain for a period of time, like this he can also take care of his mother's grave.

Meng Bingyun's grave is right on Spring Mountain all by itself. With the status of concubine she cannot enter into the Zhu family's ancestral hall after death.

Lin Feng waited unti Zhu Yi left the house of the Marquis and then silently followed behind him.

Zhu Yi walked all the way to the foot of Spring Mountain. After sweeping Meng Bingyun's grave and burning incense he took residence in a little temple not far away from the foot of the mountain.

Lin Feng had already ascertained that this temple is a run-down buddhist temple. Inside the temple is only a regular old monk taking watch. Every year Zhu Yi will live here for a bit, one to take care of his mother's grave, two for the peace.

After giving the old monk some incense money Zhu Yi rested in the side hall. Opening his bag and lighting some candles he prepared to start studying.

Stroking the book in his hands Zhu Yi muttered: "Whether or not I can rectify my dead mother's name depends on the spring's civil examination and the fall's imperial examination. First I'll get juren and then I'll get jinshi. When one successfully passes the examinations their next three generations will also gain titles… The court will send a decree to confer the title of Lady upon my mother, then mother's grave will be able to be led into the Zhu family's ancestral grave. her spirit tablet can also be placed in the ancestral hall for oblation. (TL: Search imperial examination if you want to know more about juren and jinshi. Just think of them as your masters and doctorate degree.)

"Too bad I can't practise martial arts and cultivate. Even though it's civil officials who control the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to truly gain a title of nobility one must depend on military exploits. If I became a cultivator and then went into the army then I would have a high status. Then if I established a military achievement and obtained a title, my mother's title wouldn't only be Lady, she would also have a noble ranking… Her status would be far higher than that Lady Shao."

Thinking of Lady Shao (aka. the Marquis of Xuanji's main wife) made Zhu Yi think of his mother who died an early death, his eyes revealing sentiments of sadness and resentment.

Lin Feng silently stood outside of the temple, the corners of his lips revealing an interesting smile.

Going to the backroom first and knocking out the old monk to prevent him from leaking out information, Lin Feng then checked the surrounding environment. After confirming that there were no problems Lin Feng openly sat cross-legged on a rock in front of the temple.

Lin Feng circulated the Nine Heaven Thunder Technique at full power, purposely releasing the mana circulating in his body out from his nerve points.

This action of his is actually completely contradictory to normal cultivation. Cultivation is about channeling the spiritual energy of the world into the body and refining it, yet Lin Feng's way of letting the energy spill out of his body means that he's wasting it all.

Although, from the appearance that's a completely different story.

The current Lin Feng is encircled by purple energy, occasionally electric sparks can be seen flashing in the air. Under the effect of the electric current all of his hair is slightly floating upwards.

The crackling sound of electric currents sounded non-stop and there was even the faint sound of thunder echoing in the mountains.

With your average qi disciple level 10 cultivator, even if they releaseed their own energy outside of their body it wouldn't create such a big commotion.

Thank you system, thank you novice gift, thank you Nine Heaven Thunder Technique for such amazing visual and sound effects.

And then matched with Lin Feng's clothing of a white, wide-sleeved robe and daoist crown, his appearance is completely perfect, definitely the model of a master sage.

The sound of weak footsteps came from behind him. Just hearing them one knows that it's someone who's never cultivated before, but they are steady and firm. Lin Feng knew it was Zhu Yi, hearing the green-clothed youth noticeably soften his breathing Lin Feng smiled in his heart: "He's here."

Lin Feng suddenly stopped his mana but did not turn around, saying lightly: "If you want to watch then why not come out and watch openly?"

The sound of breathing behind him slightly paused but then very quickly became calm. The sound of footsteps rose up and stopped not far away behind Lin Feng. A neither humble nor overbearing voice said: "I did not have any intention of spying, If there was anything that offended you I ask for your forgiveness." Sure enough it was Zhu Yi's voice.

Lin Feng suddenly asked: "Are you afraid?"

Zhu Yi was silent for a moment and then he spoke in a clear voice: "The books of the saints say that righteousness and intelligence are the key to understanding the world. As long as scholars have an upright, disciplined heart and possess strong and pure intentions they need not fear the evil."

He paused for a moment and then continued saying: "Even though evil spirits all know witchcraft of shapeshifting and deception, evil spirits are all formed by intangible thoughts. Even if they are powerful enough to manifest themselves they are nothing but cold blobs, they won't have the feeling of a flesh and bone body."

Zhu Yi's voice became increasingly more calm, his thinking also became increasingly clearer: "Not to mention lightning is the most extreme yang energy essence of the nine heavens and is the bane of yin spirits. You are able to manipulate lightning and possess a strong body, naturally you are not an evil spirit. Although you are probably not a regular person either, are you an immortal or swordsman living in the mountains?"

Lin Feng slowly turned around. Looking at Zhu Yi who was speaking with confidence and composure he suddenly revealed a smile: "You seem to be very knowledgeable about demons and the like. Scholars speak not of the supernatural and violence, you are not a regular scholar."

Zhu Yi answered openly: "Those are simply bookworms. We scholars harbor righteousness, understand the world, know the supernatural and reach the gods, this is the true nature of things."

Lin Feng smiled saying: "I didn't think you'd be so interested in cultivation."

This time Zhu Yi did not answer at the first moment, his eyes flashing he pondered in his heart: "Could it be that this daoist wishes to take me as his disciple?" He grew up in the house of the Marquis and his mother died early. As a bastard he's used to seeing the fickleness of human nature and the struggle for power so his vigilance is very high. Seeing Lin Feng appear strangely he had to be careful.

"My father does not allow me to cultivate and I don't have the money to hire a master to teach me. Now seems to be a chance but who knows what this person's background is?"

Seeing Zhu Yi hesitate Lin Feng immediately guessed his thoughts, saying in his heart: "Just as I predicted."

Anyhow I never thought of taking him in as a disciple just like this, guess I'll stick to the original plan.

Not waiting for Zhu Yi to formulate his response, Lin Feng let out a long laugh: "Too bad everything you know is just based on gossip. How can cultivating be so simple, the people outside of the door naturally cannot understand what's behind the door."

"I was simply passing by here, I did not expect to meet an interesting little guy like you. I had a nice time talking to you but I have something to do and am unable to continue chatting with you. Good-bye, maybe we'll meet again another day."

Finishing speaking Lin Feng did not wait for Zhu Yi's reaction, using the ability of Cloud Dragon Escape with lightning suddenly flashing around his body, disappearing from the spot.

Using the flashing lightning as a cover-up, Lin Feng's body soared and quickly hid into the forest beside the old temple, retracting his aura and hiding his location.

Zhu Yi who was blinded by the lightning slowly regained his vision at this time, blankly staring at the rock in front of him, seemingly not expecting that Lin Feng would actually just up and leave.

Zhu Yi looked around the old temple for a moment. With his senses that have never been trained he naturally cannot discover Lin Feng's whereabouts.

Returning beside the rock Zhu Yi muttered to himself: "And I thought that daoist had thoughts of taking me as his disciple, turns out I was thinking too much."

"Wait a sec, is he playing hard to get? But it doesn't look like it or else he wouldn't have left without saying anything."

"That daoist looks young but I wonder what his true age is? Dao techniques, cultivation… If I achieve success in cultivation could I make father admit his mistake and make Lady Shao stoop her head?"

"A person outside the door is unable to understand what's behind the door… This door, how can I enter it?"

Zhu Yi suddenly let out a surprised sound. Walking over to the rock he bent over to look, picking up a purple crystal from the rock.

Lin Feng laughed silently. The fish has taken the bait, it should be about to bite the hook.

He left the opening chapter of the Nine Heaven Thunder Technique within that purple crystal and did not add any restraints. Zhu Yi may not have cultivated before but as long as he focuses his mind on the crystal he'll be able to read the words within.

Zhu Yi was playing with the purple crystal when he suddenly smelt a burning smell with his nose. Turning around and heading back to the temple he immediately cried out: "Oh no!"

Turns out when he came out he forgot to close the room door. The winds in the mountain are strong and they blew into the room through the door, actually blowing his book onto the brazier.

Seeing the book already burnt to ashes Zhu Yi felt very upset, but looking closely he discovered that in the brazier there was a piece of paper with a faint dark-gold color within the ashes of the book.

The golden paper is packed with small text and also has illustrations. It seems to be gold but it was not burned by the fire.

"Ksitigarbha Sutra… Thi, this is a buddhist dao technique?" Zhu Yi was greatly shocked and then overjoyed: "Just now I was distressed over how to enter into the door and now a dao technique has appeared before me." (TL: Don't ask me how to pronounce that.)

Outside of the door Lin Feng was dumbfounded, his lower jaw nearly hitting the ground.

"That works too? That book, if I remember correctly he just got that book from the used bookstore before he left the city? Max blessing of 10, a blessing of 10… Hehe, fuck!"

Outside the temple in the night breeze, Lin Feng's expression was uncertain.

The Ksitigarbha Sutra originates from the same source as the Art of Acala, they are both secret buddhist dharmas of the Great Thunder Monastery of the past.

So-called Ksitigarbha is to be tolerant and still as the earth and silent and deep as a scripture. (TL: Ksitigarbha is the buddhist equivalent of the Chinese bodhisattva, 地藏, di zang, the first word meaning earth and the second meaning scripture.)

The ability cultivated by the Art of Acala is Fury Acala Flames, and with the successful cultivation of the Ksitigarbha Sutra one can obtain the buddhist body of the Gilded Ksitigarbha Body. As long as the buddhist body exists one is unaffected by all tribulations and immune to all laws. It is a very famous buddhist protection technique.

The dao technique that this Zhu Yi obtained is actually a secret buddhist path on the same level as the complete Art of Acala.

Hiding it within an old book could be the arrangements made by monks who escaped after the fall of the Great Thunder Monastery to pass on the dao techniques of buddhism, waiting for a destined person to find it.

In the end nobody discovered it, but Zhu Yi this main character with a blessing of 10 discovered it on his first day of obtaining the book.

Lin Feng knows that Zhu Yi who has been misfortunate for so many years is about to step upon his unstoppable path of invincibility. His old pops the Marquis of Xuanji may be arrogant right now, but in the future he'll definitely lower his head. If he doesn't give in then he'll just beat him until he does!

"But then what about me?" Lin Feng had a rough expression. Zhu Yi's luck has already started taking a turn. His situation is improving and he especially won't become his disciple.

Zhu Yi who has obtained the Ksitigarbha Sutra thus in turn possesses his own starting capital. It seems like he already doesn't need Lin Feng to teach him dao techniques.

If you want to take this kind of main character as a disciple then you've got to rush to give him a helping hand in his time of need before his luck starts to turn around. Or else if you wait until his aura of hegemony to burst forth you don't know who'll be bowing down to who.

Lin Feng was rapidly thinking in his heart: "What should I do? Should I just use the Art of Acala on my hands and pretend to be a buddhist cultivator, lying to him and saying that it was me who hid the Ksitigarbha Sutra in the old book waiting for him do find it?"

That won't do, Zhu Yi is a very independant person and has very strong vigilance when interacting with others. If he tries to catch him empty-handed he most likely won't believe him.

After pondering for a moment a warm smile like the sun resurfaced on Lin Feng's face.

"Hehe, this isn't so good, is it a little too mean?"

Looking at Zhu Yi who has already started to be immersed in the training of the dao technique, the smile on Lin Feng's face became increasingly wider: "Zhu Yi my disciple, for you to have a better development in the future your master's got to first make you suffer for a bit. I believe that you will understand my goodwill."

Making up his mind Lin Feng was no longer anxious. Right now it is night time and Tianjing City's gates have already closed. He can't go back anyways so he might as well just patiently wait here until tomorrow morning.

At the same time he was also paying attention to Zhu Yi's results in practising the Ksitigarbha Sutra.

Reality shows that main characters really aren't a joke. In just a moment's time Zhu Yi could already channel energy into his body, stepping onto the path of cultivation. You have to know that he relied only on himself reading the sutra and understanding the words, he did not have anyone guiding him.

Besides a blessing of 10, a comprehension of 9 is truly extraordinary.

This strengthened Lin Feng's thoughts of taking him in as a disciple even more. When the sky brightened Lin Feng immediately returned to Tianjing City, arriving at the House of the Marquis of Xuanji and patiently waiting.

Not too long later a group of family servants came out from the backdoor of the house, walking over to a restaurant in the city square not too far away. The ugly looking fatty at the very front was surrounded in the middle by everyone and was clearly the leader among them.

Lin Feng silently laughed. He already found out that this fatty's name is Zhu Jun, he is a servant that the wife of the Marquis of Xuanji Lady Shao brought over from her family. His original name is Shao Jun, he only changed his name to Zhu Jun after following Lady Shao into the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, his nickname is Fatty Zhu.

Fatty Zhu is very loyal towards Lady Shao, to curry favor with Lady Shao he made things quite difficult for Zhu Yi.

This guy looks ugly but he does have some cultivating talent. In these few years training with the guest masters of the house he also reached the level of qi disciple level 8.

Fatty Zhu and co. entered the restaurant, going up to the second floor together and sitting down at the position beside the window with the best scenery.

Looking at them Lin Feng's face revealed a smile, his body hiding into the crown and disappearing.

Not long later an odd story started circulating between the customers of the restaurant: In the old temple on the mountain a green-clothed scholar exhibits strange behaviour, actually able to spit out lightning."

The news travelled into the ears of Zhu Jun and co., all of them looking at each other.

Coming from the House of the Marquis of Xuanji, Zhu Jun and co. are far more knowledgeable about the cultivating world than regular customers. Lightning is the most violent force in the world. Dao techniques that can absorb thunder energy to cultivate are all top-notch goods. They also know the matter of Zhu Yi studying in the old temple on the mountain. Listening to this, that person is actually Zhu Yi?

One family servant asked uncertainly: "Those mountain people are all hillbillies, they're just spreading the wrong information, right? How could that Zhu Yi obtain such a powerful dao technique?"

Another person said: "The Marquis once said that he wants Zhu Yi to first learn the classics and knowledge and then they'll talk about the matter of cultivating. He can't even walk yet and he wants to learn how to run? If he really is secretly cultivating then we'll get rid of his cultivation prowess. Who dares to break the rules of the Marquis?"

The cheeks of Fatty Zhu who hadn't spoken the whole time moved, slowly saying: "Let's go check it out. If Zhu Yi really is secretly cultivating then we'll confiscate his dao technique and then hand him over to the Marquis to deal with him. Don't do anything else unauthorized."

Everybody's eyes lit up, all of them starting to laugh. If Zhu Yi really does have a top-tier dao technique then they don't dare to keep it for themselves and will definitely turn it over to the Marquis of Xuanji.

But before they turn it in they naturally have the time to make a copy. A top-tier dao technique, no matter what they'll want a slice of the cake.

Zhu Jun also laughed, the fat on his face rippling.

The group of people immediately left the restaurant, rushing towards Spring Mountain outside of the city. But they did not discover that Lin Feng was following behind them the whole time.

Looking at the backs of Zhu Jun and co., the smile on Lin Feng's face became increasingly brighter.

The deuteragonist is already waiting on the stage that he's prepared, now the side characters are also about to step on the stage. The big show that Lin Feng himself wrote, directed and acted in is about to kick off.

People chosen by the heavens like Zhu Yi with a shining protagonist halo above their heads usually all possess the ability to kill higher level monsters. If the opponent's strength is too weak then that's just giving experience points to Zhu Yi.

But Fatty Zhu and co. are all at the very least a level of qi disciple level 5, level 6, moreover there's Fatty Zhu this qi dscipe level 8 holding the line.

Zhu Yi only just came in contact with dao techniques and cultivating, he also doesn't have any experience. No matter how much of a prodigy he is and how OP his luck his, against Fatty Zhu and co. the only thing he's doing is getting beat. Killing higher level monsters also has its limits.

If he gave Zhu Yi some time to train, his level would definitely rise sharply like he was on drugs. But Lin Feng did not give him any time to train his level, immediately pulling a wave of elite monsters to go gang beat him, even main characters can't do anything.

Lin Feng easily followed behind Zhu Jun and co., the script has already been written, now he's just waiting for the actors to make their debuts and perform.

"My good disciple, you are familiar with history, you definitely know the sentence 'Before the heavens entrust a man with a ponderous task, his mind shall first be fathomed, his flesh wearied and his skin starved', right? So in a bit when you suffer a bit don't be afraid, master's got your back."

Sure enough, after Fatty Zhu and co. arrive at the temple and found Zhu Yi they immediately launched an attack.

Zhu Yi could also be considered vigilant, hiding the golden paper with the scripture a step ahead. No matter how much Fatty Zhu and co. humiliated him he did not admit anything.

But he didn't guess that Fatty Zhu may have the face of a pig, but his mind is clear. With a skim of his eyes he discovered that the bottom of Zhu Yi's longsleeves were stained with a bit of ashes.

Fatty Zhu kicked over the brazier, pushing lightly the brazier still had the sparks of embers. The golden paper recording the Ksitigarbha Sutra was instantly revealed.

The color of Zhu Yi's face changed.

Fatty Zhu and co. laughed.

Outside the door, Lin Feng who was watching everything also smiled.
