There was no doubt about it, this person was definitely that General Ding Yun!

As Ding Yun approached.

Lin Feng and the other two quickly cupped their hands in greeting.

"General Ding!"

Ding Yun put down his wine pot and glanced at the three of them.

He waved his hand dismissively!

"You three are the remaining rookies, right!

With me, there aren't so many rules.

Cultivate your martial arts on your own, and if there's work, do it.

If there are monsters, go fight.

Life and death are uncertain, I don't even know how long you three brats will live! Just don't bother me if you have nothing to do!

Follow me, come to your camp."

After saying that, Ding Yun walked away.

His main approach was to ignore everything.

This made the three sigh again, the rumors were indeed true.

However, compared to You Lin and Mu Yu, he was still somewhat acceptable.

He could completely rely on himself for cultivation, but following Ding Yun meant he would probably have to find resources on his own.

Other generals could use resources to nurture the trainees under them.

But Ding Yun couldn't even be bothered to look at them.

The three followed Ding Yun into a large mansion.

There were quite a few weapons placed in the courtyard, as well as stone locks.

"You can use these weapons freely!

Food is available in the mess hall.

You, yes you, bring me a meal from the mess hall at noon!"

Ding Yun pointed at Lin Feng and said.

"Yes, General Ding! I am Lin Feng!"

Lin Feng cupped his hands.

Ding Yun looked deeply at Lin Feng, and was imperceptibly stunned for a moment.

Then he went into the house by himself.

A moment later, earth-shattering snores could be heard from inside the house.

The three exchanged glances and shook their heads.

Then they each began to cultivate their martial arts!

As trainees, the most important things were always cultivating martial arts and fighting monsters.

Lin Feng looked at the weapons on the rack, all of them were exquisite and rare weapons.

The sabers were the same as the ones he was issued, they were Hundred-Forged Blades!

Sharp, tough, and heavy!

Lin Feng didn't waste time, he was tempering his strength and practicing drawing and slashing.

He tried his best to improve his understanding of the Butcher Ding's Ox-Slicing technique.

This technique was a bit special, similar to his two major Spiritual Powers, appearing suddenly.

It was as if he had possessed it since birth.

He vaguely felt that once he comprehended it, he should be able to improve again.

His current realm was far from the end.

At the very least, he hadn't mastered controlling a blade with Spiritual Power!

"General Bai, I think that Lin Feng's cultivation is quite good, why didn't you take him under your wing!"

In a mansion, Zhao Chengzhe asked Bai Sheng, puzzled.

"That person is, after all, just a commoner, not someone from your two families. He has limited resources behind him.

His innate talent is also not as good as yours and Qingqing's!

Taking him in would only be a waste of resources and a spot!

After all, there is a limit to the number of people I can take!"

Bai Sheng said nonchalantly.

Actually, it wasn't impossible for him to take Lin Feng in. However, if he did, he would lose out on a portion of the phantom pay.

Lin Feng had no identity or background. Given his natural talent, it would be difficult for him to reach the Blood Change Realm and become a Lieutenant within five years.

It was too hard!

Zhao Chengzhe could only nod helplessly upon hearing this.

Their two families and Bai Sheng were merely in a mutually beneficial relationship!

In fact, Bai Sheng held the dominant position in this relationship.

He was a legitimate General of the Demon Purging Division, not someone the local powers like the Zhao and Yu families in Kaiyang County could compare to!

Even if he, Zhao Chengzhe, had a good impression of Lin Feng, he couldn't influence Bai Sheng's decision!

In the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime.

Lin Feng went to the mess hall to eat with You Lin and Mu Yu.

"Aren't those the three geniuses who joined General Ding's command?"

"Hahaha! The three geniuses are here for lunch!"

As soon as they entered, laughter and mockery erupted.

You Lin was furious!

Mu Yu looked embarrassed.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, was expressionless. He came from a poor background and had endured countless scornful glances over the years.

His focus was on the delicious food in the mess hall.

Ignoring the mockery from other trainees.

Lin Feng went to get his food.

Seeing Lin Feng get his food, You Lin and Mu Yu reluctantly followed him.

At this moment, Chen Fei walked over.

"Brother Lin, I heard the three of you joined General Ding's command. After you get your food here, let's eat outside.

Our team doesn't eat in the mess hall!"

The three of them got their food and followed Chen Fei outside.

They ate in a room.

Chen Fei was an older trainee with mediocre talent and poor backing. He was in his thirties and still only at the Tendon Strengthening Realm.

He was under General Ding's command with them.

He told them some important points.

Lin Feng and the others truly felt their status within the Demon Purging Division.

They received the least amount of resources when lining up.

The medicinal baths once a month were just leftover dregs.

They didn't even dare to sit and eat in the mess hall.

All of this was due to their talent, background, and General Ding's inaction!

However, the mess hall's food was indeed good!

There were large pork knuckles, lamb, and even nourishing venison!

After one meal, Lin Feng, who was in the Bone Forging Realm, directly gained one Improvement Point!

Since advancing to the Bone Forging Realm, ordinary food could only fill his stomach and couldn't convert much essence into Improvement Points.

Going by this, breakfast was light, while lunch and dinner were better.

He could gain two Improvement Points a day.

Coupled with the medicinal meals every three days, he could gain seventy to eighty Improvement Points in a month.

This would allow him to cultivate smoothly in the Bone Forging Realm!

Combined with the income from the slaughterhouse, it would likely take him at most two to three months to reach perfection in the Bone Forging Realm and break through to the Tendon Strengthening Realm.

If he had to spend money on food himself, he didn't know how much silver it would cost.

Thinking about it this way, his mood improved!

It was just that if his advancement was too fast, the Generals might discover it and cause problems.

His cultivation speed was monstrous despite not having good natural talent.

He didn't know how to resolve this issue yet.

He could only go to the Demon Purging Division's treasury to see if there were any treasures or cultivation techniques that could conceal his aura.

It wasn't long before Lin Feng and the others returned to the courtyard.

Carrying the food box, he arrived outside Ding Yun's door.

Listening to the thunderous snores coming from inside, Lin Feng hesitated, wondering whether to go in and wake up General Ding to eat.

Miraculously, Lin Feng had only lingered outside the door for a moment.

The snoring inside stopped.

"Bring the food in!"

General Ding was awake!

"Yes, General Ding!"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then pushed open the door and placed the food box on the table.

Ding Yun opened the food box.

Looking at the food, his appetite was whetted!

He directly started stuffing the meat into his mouth, eating heartily.

He drank wine while eating meat.

Before long, as if a gust of wind had swept away the clouds, the food was gone.

Ding Yun let out a satisfied burp, licked his lips, ate the sauce on his hands, and cleaned his hands. He then patted his belly contentedly.

"Alright, take the food box out!"

After giving the order, the General Ding swiftly lay back down on the bed.

The snores started again.

Lin Feng collected the food box, walked out of the room, and closed the door.

He shook his head helplessly.

This man was truly carefree! Eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.

He paid no attention to anything else!

There was no strong Blood Essence fluctuation from him; he didn't seem like a martial artist at all.

Lin Feng couldn't help but suspect that the man was some kind of connection, with no actual martial arts cultivation!

"Brother Lin, someone's looking for you outside!"

As soon as he walked out of the main hall and into the large courtyard, Lin Feng heard You Lin's voice.
