"Many thanks for informing me, Elder!" Lin Feng said.
Afterward, he exchanged a few words with the elder and turned to leave.
Having obtained so many Origin Stones, he could finally cultivate properly.
However, just as Lin Feng was about to depart, Elder Song suddenly spoke.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Feng turned back in confusion, only to see Elder Song's enormous body striding toward him. With each step, it seemed as though he shook the very void.
Then, three fiery-red spirit herbs resembling flowers appeared in Elder Song's hand!
The surrounding disciples immediately cried out in alarm when they saw them. "Those are Azure Flame Spiritheart Flowers?! Hiss, Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs!"
"These spirit herbs contain exceedingly fierce and abundant heaven-and-earth origin power. As Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs, obtaining one is harder than ascending to the heavens for anyone below the Venerable Realm!"
"Elder Song is this generous? That's a huge gift right from the start. He probably isn't even this good to his own granddaughter!"
Numerous disciples sucked in cold breaths, the envy in their eyes nearly taking tangible form.
"These are Azure Flame Spiritheart Flowers. They will be of considerable help to your cultivation," Elder Song said. "My granddaughter was able to return safely this time thanks to you!"
Lin Feng was slightly stunned.
Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs, Azure Flame Spiritheart Flowers!
Such precious spirit herbs, and he was giving them away just because Lin Feng had saved his granddaughter?
One had to know that if these Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs were put up for grabs, countless Dao Condensation Realm experts would fight over them with bloodshot eyes!
That alone showed just how precious the Azure Flame Spiritheart Flowers were.
Now that Elder Song was being so lavish, it was likely not merely because Lin Feng had saved his granddaughter.
Lin Feng was no fool. He could sense Elder Song's goodwill. The other man must have learned of his potential as well; gifting him Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs was likely also meant to forge good relations.
With that thought in mind, Lin Feng did not refuse and accepted the three Azure Flame Spiritheart Flowers.
He truly needed such things. The more intense the heaven-and-earth origin power, the more useful it was to his Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
For anyone else, they might not need so many heavenly treasures containing heaven-and-earth origin power, or so many Origin Stones, because their realms did not require them to absorb such vast quantities of origin power.
But Lin Feng was different!
His physique was the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!
This terrifying Holy Body's demand for heaven-and-earth origin power was like a black hole! A boundless, endless black hole!
The more origin power he had, the more beneficial it would be for Lin Feng's advancement.
"Thank you, Elder Song. Senior Sister Song and I are fellow disciples. Saving her was merely a matter of convenience," Lin Feng said with neither servility nor arrogance, drawing a look of admiration from Elder Song.
This boy's future was immeasurable, and his bearing was composed!
Of course, the most important thing was still the Seventh-Layer Sword Intent on him... Song Yiling had already mentioned that.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lin Feng turned and prepared to leave.
This time, he truly was leaving. After all, today's harvest had been bountiful. Not only had he obtained fifteen million Low-Grade Origin Stones,
he had also gained three Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs!
Just looking at those spirit herbs, Lin Feng could feel their incomparably blazing origin power. Countless cells within his body were thirsting for it!
Lin Feng left just like that, but many gazes remained fixed on him.
"Who exactly is this person? Why don't I know him?"
"Yeah. I've been in the inner sect for two years and am familiar with many Palace of Destiny Realm disciples, but I don't recognize him!"
Some female disciples even revealed lovestruck expressions.
"I really like his temperament. If I could become his Dao companion, it would truly be a blessing earned over three lifetimes!"
"Handsome and powerful—I wonder whether he has a Dao companion?! If not, I think I could give it a try..."
The disciples all had different thoughts.
Elder Song also watched Lin Feng, a gleam flashing through his eyes. This person possessed extraordinary talent and advanced at a startling pace. Before long, he would likely see Lin Feng shine brilliantly!
Lin Feng returned to his cultivation cave dwelling.
Just as he was about to step inside and begin cultivating, he stopped, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Since he was going to cultivate, he naturally ought to switch to a better cave dwelling.
The tenth-floor cave dwelling could no longer satisfy him at all!
With that thought in mind, he carried his longsword and headed upward.
The eleventh floor.
A Fourth Layer Palace of Destiny Realm disciple's eyes flashed with cold light!
"Who dares disturb my quiet cultivation? Are you courting death?"
After emerging, the disciple was startled to see Lin Feng. He scrutinized Lin Feng with a suspicious expression, and once he sensed that his opponent was merely in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, a savage look appeared on his face. "A Sea of Reincarnation Realm disciple dares disturb me? Courting death! I'll cripple you today and teach you a lesson!"
Lin Feng had not even explained his purpose before this man made his move.
Of course, that suited Lin Feng perfectly.
After all, he did not want to waste words either. If he could fight, there was no need to babble.
Swoosh!
A flash of sword light suddenly appeared.
The disciple rushing forward to cripple Lin Feng had every defense pierced through by that single sword strike. He slammed feebly onto the ground, and when he barely managed to raise his head, his face was filled with horror!
So strong!
For a Sea of Reincarnation Realm disciple to display such strength—what kind of peerless genius was this?
"Hand it over," Lin Feng said.
"Senior Brother, wh-what do you want?" The Fourth Layer Palace of Destiny Realm disciple had long since lost his arrogance. His face trembled as he looked at Lin Feng, with none of his previous savagery remaining.
"The cave dwelling token," Lin Feng said.
Hearing this, the disciple's expression froze. Inwardly, he complained endlessly. This fellow's strength was far too terrifying. Let alone himself at the Fourth Layer Palace of Destiny Realm, even someone at the fifth or sixth layer might not necessarily be a match for him. Yet he had come to challenge him?
Did they have some grudge?!
Though that was what he thought, the disciple moved with astonishing speed, respectfully placing the cultivation cave dwelling token in Lin Feng's hand.
Lin Feng nodded slightly and continued upward.
On the eleventh floor, it was still a one-sword instant kill.
Twelfth floor, thirteenth floor...
In the end, Lin Feng reached the twentieth floor!
Before this, every opponent had been instantly defeated with a single sword strike!
The disciple occupying the twentieth-floor cave dwelling also sensed someone forcing his way in. His expression was exceedingly cold. He was dressed like a scholar and looked remarkably refined.
After coming out, his face carried a gloomy expression.
"Who are you?"
Lin Feng looked at him and did not attack immediately.
That was because a red trait was conspicuously flickering above the scholar-like disciple's head!
A red trait was already exceptionally powerful, carrying the potential to reach the Venerable Realm.
"Spirit-Nurtured Medicinal Body (Red): Any spirit herb, medicinal pill, or heavenly treasure consumed will have double the effect!"
The description of this trait stirred Lin Feng's heart, and a greedy gleam appeared in his eyes!
This was a good thing!
He had just obtained three Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs. With this trait, consuming them would be equivalent to consuming six Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs!
His realm would undoubtedly rise even faster!
"Plunder." With a thought from Lin Feng,
the red Spirit-Nurtured Medicinal Body trait came onto him.
The scholar disciple's tone turned even colder. "Who sent you here to toy with me? A Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator like you isn't qualified. Who is backing you?!"
