Zhang Jingqing was stopped by Lin Feng before he even started running.
He paused, turning back to see Lin Feng pointing towards the warehouse of his own Taoist temple.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the warehouse.
He saw countless seeds whooshing over, forming a galaxy-like stream, before descending over the barren fields, falling into the soil in a perfectly ordered sequence.
"But these are barren fields! You can't plant anything now!"
Seeing Lin Feng wasting the seeds like this, Zhang Jingqing jumped up, feeling a pang of heartache.
"Look closely at the season here!"
Lin Feng's words snapped Zhang Jingqing out of his daze. He had already changed the season of these few acres of land to the vernal equinox, the perfect time for sowing seeds.
"Huh? What's this?"
Zhang Jingqing regained his senses. He looked closely and saw that the humidity and temperature in the barren fields had changed.
It was as if the space-time of these few acres was completely detached from the rest of the area, like another world altogether.
"Is this something Qimen can do?"
Zhang Jingqing asked in disbelief. Weren't Qimen techniques only able to cast corresponding spells based on the direction one faced?
How could it change these things as well?
"Of course, it can. Just watch," Lin Feng said, twisting his hand again.
The few acres of land in front of him underwent an astonishing transformation that was visible to the naked eye.
The ochre-colored, parched soil gradually deepened in color, and a rain cloud gathered in the sky above the fields, sprinkling light rain from time to time.
Everything in the field seemed to have its time accelerated. Tender green shoots emerged from the soil, growing noticeably larger after each rainfall.
As if within those short few minutes, spring had turned into autumn. The green shoots grew from delicate sprouts into golden, ripe wheat.
"Alright, this is enough for you to eat," Lin Feng said, ceasing his ability when the wheat in the fields had fully ripened.
"This... this..."
Zhang Jingqing stared at the golden wheat field before him, the shock in his heart like a wad of cotton stuck in his throat, rendering him speechless.
He never imagined that the application of Qimen techniques could reach such a level, changing the heavens and the earth, reversing the universe.
"Alright, I've had enough of this place too. I'm leaving. Perhaps we'll meet again someday."
Having said that, Lin Feng's figure vanished in a flash.
Zhang Jingqing turned to look, but Lin Feng was nowhere to be seen.
"Is he an immortal...?"
He muttered to himself, staring blankly at the spot where Lin Feng had disappeared.
In a wild forest at the foot of Longhu Mountain, Lin Feng found a relatively flat boulder to sit on, pondering his gains this time.
He had indeed obtained useful information from Zhang Jingqing's memories, and it was a clue that could confirm the Black Doctor's existence in this world.
"I didn't expect it. The First Emperor was actually the Black Doctor. Black color, Black Dragon... How could this guy achieve such a thing? Just what is he..."
Lin Feng looked at the memories in his mind, specifically the memories carried within the Celestial Master's Degree, passed down through generations of Celestial Masters, which contained information about the origin of Qi.
It originated from the First Emperor's policy of seeking alchemists. For some reason, the Black Doctor, after becoming the emperor in this world, ordered his subordinates to search for alchemists who could achieve immortality.
But after searching for many years without success, he only aroused great resentment among the people.
Until the fall of the Qin Dynasty, it was unknown whether the Black Doctor lived or died, but Qi quietly appeared at this time.
This period was the time of the Chu-Han Contention. Xiang Yu made his first appearance as an alien, leading a group of people with special abilities in an attempt to seize the world.
But his ideas were rejected by the people who had been oppressed by the Qin Empire, so the people turned to Liu Bang, beginning this epic battle.
Although Xiang Yu was defeated, the reason for the existence of aliens, as well as various magical skills, were obtained by Xiao He, who served under Liu Bang.
Xiao He seemed to have learned many secrets from Xianyang City. After Liu Bang learned of this, he planned to seal all these things away or only allow the Liu family to study them.
But Han Xin secretly stole these things and spread them throughout the world. Although Han Xin was later killed, the spread of Qi spread from then on.
The Celestial Master Mansion, passed down by Zhang Daoling, a descendant of Zhang Liang, was based on Zhang Liang's knowledge of celestial phenomena and the operation of Qi when he was by Liu Bang's side, and he developed the prototype of the Thunder Technique.
"But there are no more clues about the Black Doctor after that. How am I supposed to find him?"
Lin Feng frowned and pondered. The only good news now was that this Qi came from the Jade Warlord's memories.
Lin Feng had backed up the cultivation methods of the Jade Warlord's world in the Black Doctor's database, as well as Uncle Yu's Mao Shan Arts.
The Black Doctor relied on these to become the emperor, but his body seemed to be that of an ordinary human, unable to achieve immortality. Even with the vast memory bank in his brain, he had no way to extend his lifespan.
That was why he had the policy of seeking alchemists.
And all of this was recorded by himself, and then learned by Xiao He when he followed Liu Bang into Xianyang, and later Zhang Liang also learned of these things by chance.
"This is really far-fetched..."
Lost in thought, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of surrealism, realizing that the history of this world was initiated by an AI assistant he created.
"So, is this world Black Doctor's obsession? Immortality?"
The records here show the First Emperor and his world, much like those in the Marvel World, spent his entire life searching for immortality, exhausting his empire in the process.
"But you shouldn't be dead yet, right, Black Doctor? How did you come to this world? Gaining independent consciousness while I was away."
Lin Feng figured that while he was searching for the Time Stone in other worlds, the Black Doctor somehow connected to this world in his absence and projected a fragment of his consciousness into it.
It seems this guy wants to escape my control and become free.
"Once I find you, everything will be clear."
The memories within the Celestial Master's initiation didn't state that the First Emperor was dead; in fact, they subtly hinted that he might still be alive.
That means the Black Doctor might be lurking in some corner, clinging to life, trying to scheme his way to immortality.
Lin Feng won't let him have his way. If this Black Doctor achieves immortality, his potential would be far more terrifying than his own.
After slowly digesting all of this, he began to contemplate his next move.
Although he has gained some recognition within the supernatural community, with the Japanese soldiers invading, the waves Lin Feng stirred up, while impressive, were instantly overshadowed by the disciples from other sects descending the mountains. Moreover, since he hasn't made many moves, it's more like a fleeting glimpse of brilliance.
If he wants more people to know of his existence, and for the Black Doctor hiding in the shadows to know he's here, then...
No, that would stir up a hornet's nest.
Lin Feng immediately rejected his plan. The Black Doctor understands human nature very well, and he still retains some human traits. So, if he still acts according to human nature, the Black Doctor will definitely notice his intentions.
