"Thank you for informing me, Elder!" Lin Feng said.

Afterward, he exchanged a few words with the elder and turned to leave.

After all, having obtained so many Origin Stones, he could finally cultivate properly.

However, just as Lin Feng was about to leave, Elder Song suddenly spoke.

"Wait."

Lin Feng turned back in confusion, only to see Elder Song's massive body striding toward him. Each step seemed to shake the void.

Then, three fiery-red spirit herbs resembling flowers appeared in Elder Song's hand!

The surrounding disciples saw them and immediately cried out, "Those are Azure Flame Spiritheart Flowers?! Hiss, Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs!"

"These spirit herbs contain exceedingly fierce and abundant heaven-and-earth origin energy. And as Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs, for anyone below the Venerable Realm to obtain them would be harder than ascending to the heavens!"

"Elder Song is this generous? He makes such a grand gesture right away—even to his own granddaughter, he probably wouldn't be this good!"

Many disciples sucked in cold breaths, the envy in their eyes seemingly about to take tangible form.

"These are Azure Flame Spiritheart Flowers. They will greatly aid 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—he saved Elder Song's granddaughter, and Elder Song was simply giving them to him?

One had to know that if these Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs were put out into the world, countless Dao Condensation Realm experts would fight over them with red eyes!

That alone was enough to show 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 had surely learned of his potential as well; gifting him Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs was likely also an attempt to befriend him.

With that 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 energy, the more useful it was to his Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.

If it were someone else, they might not need so many heavenly treasures containing heaven-and-earth origin energy, nor so many Origin Stones, because their realms did not require them to absorb such vast amounts of origin energy.

But Lin Feng was different!

His physique was the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body!

The demand this terrifying sacred body had for heaven-and-earth origin energy was like a black hole! A boundless, infinite black hole!

The more origin energy he had, the better it would be for Lin Feng's advancement.

"Thank you, Elder Song. Senior Sister Song and I are fellow disciples. Saving her was merely something I did in passing," Lin Feng said with neither arrogance nor servility, drawing admiration into Elder Song's eyes.

This boy's future was immeasurable; his bearing was calm and composed!

Of course, most importantly, there was the Seventh-Layer Sword Intent on him... Song Yiling had mentioned that long ago.

After chatting for a while longer, Lin Feng turned to leave.

This time, he truly was leaving. After all, today's gains had been plentiful—not only had he obtained fifteen million Low-Grade Origin Stones.

He had also received three Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs!

Just looking at those spirit herbs, Lin Feng could sense their incomparably blazing origin energy. Every cell in his body thirsted for it!

Lin Feng left just like that, but many eyes followed him.

"Who exactly is this person? Why don't I know him?"

"Exactly. I've been in the inner sect for two years and am fairly familiar with many Palace of Destiny Realm disciples, yet I don't recognize him!"

Some female disciples even had infatuated looks in their eyes.

"I love his temperament. If I could become his Dao companion, it would be a blessing earned over three lifetimes!"

"Handsome and powerful too—I wonder if 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 in his eyes. This youth possessed extraordinary talent and advanced at a terrifying pace. Before long, he would likely see him shine brilliantly!

Lin Feng returned to his cultivation cave dwelling.

Just as he was about to step inside and begin cultivating, he halted, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Since he was going to cultivate, naturally he ought to switch to a better cave dwelling.

The cave dwelling on the tenth floor could no longer satisfy him at all!

With that thought, he carried his longsword and headed upward.

The eleventh floor.

A fourth-level Palace of Destiny Realm disciple had a cold gleam in his eyes!

"Who dares disturb my quiet cultivation? Are you courting death?"

After this disciple came out and saw that it was Lin Feng, he could not help but freeze. He scrutinized Lin Feng suspiciously, and when he sensed that his opponent was merely in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, a savage expression appeared on his face. "A Sea of Reincarnation Realm disciple dares disturb me? Courting death! Today, I'll cripple you and teach you a lesson!"

Lin Feng had not even stated his purpose before this man began attacking.

Of course, that suited Lin Feng just fine.

After all, he did not wish to waste words either. If he could fight, he would rather not bicker.

Swoosh!

A cold flash of sword light suddenly appeared.

The disciple who had rushed over intending to cripple Lin Feng had every defense pierced through by that single strike. He crashed weakly onto the ground, and when he barely managed to raise his head, his face was filled with terror!

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, w-what do you want?" The fourth-level Palace of Destiny Realm disciple had long lost his arrogance. His face trembled as he looked at Lin Feng, utterly devoid of his former savagery.

"The cave dwelling token," Lin Feng said.

Hearing this, the disciple's expression stiffened, and he inwardly cursed. This fellow's strength was far too terrifying. Forget a fourth-level Palace of Destiny Realm cultivator like him—even fifth or sixth level cultivators might not necessarily be his match. Yet he had come to challenge him?

Did they have some grudge?!

Though he thought this inwardly, the disciple moved his hands extremely quickly, respectfully placing the cultivation cave dwelling token into Lin Feng's hand.

Lin Feng nodded slightly and continued upward.

On the eleventh floor, it was still a one-sword instant kill.

The twelfth floor, the 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 cave dwelling on the twentieth floor also sensed someone forcing their way in. His expression was exceedingly indifferent. He was dressed like a scholar, with delicate and refined features.

When he came out, his face bore a sinister look.

"Who are you?"

Lin Feng looked at him but did not attack immediately.

Because above the scholar-like disciple's head, a red trait was clearly flickering!

A red trait was already exceedingly 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 covetous gleam appeared in his eyes!

This was a good thing!

He had just obtained three Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs. With this trait, it would be equivalent to consuming six Ninth-Rank Spirit Herbs!

His realm would certainly rise even faster!

"Plunder." Lin Feng willed it in his heart.

The red trait, Spirit-Nurtured Medicinal Body, transferred onto him.

The scholar disciple's tone turned even colder. "Who sent you here to toy with me? A Sea of Reincarnation Realm cultivator isn't qualified. Who stands behind you?!"
