Lin Feng woke up earlier than Zhang Hu that day.After waking up, he stayed indoors, oblivious to the outside world, focusing solely on his cultivation.
The day he was knocked off the cliff by Jiang Chen made him realize something.
Jiang Chen acted without any restraint.
So if he didn’t improve his strength, Jiang Chen would kill him sooner or later!
Perhaps it was the sense of urgency that spurred him on, but lately, his cultivation had been going exceptionally smoothly, frequently reaching moments of enlightenment!
He estimated that he was on the verge of breaking through to the Human Origin stage.
When he first arrived in the Central Domain, he was merely at the Initial Formation stage, but in just a few months, he was about to break through to Human Origin!
Such a speed of cultivation was unbelievable, even to himself, and it excited him greatly.
However, he still felt a bit bitter thinking about his recent experiences.
Every advancement in his strength had come after suffering hardships.
Whether being buried alive by Qingning or being pursued by Jiang Lianyue and Lin Mubai…
And this time, it was being knocked off the cliff by Jiang Chen!
Advancing in strength was indeed a good thing, but it was frustrating!
Fortunately, he believed that the sect would not ignore Jiang Chen’s heinous act of harming a fellow disciple by throwing him and Zhang Hu off the cliff.
Now, cultivation was the priority.
Once he broke through to Human Origin, he would definitely inquire about the punishment Jiang Chen received.
Then he would take great pleasure in Jiang Chen’s misfortune!
Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Lin Feng continued to cultivate in peace.
Soon, a surge of energy burst forth, and he opened his eyes abruptly!
“The strength of the Human Origin stage is indeed incomparable to the Core Formation Initial Formation stage!” Clenching his fists, Lin Feng smiled with satisfaction.
With his current strength, he could match that wild man Lin Mubai without Old Man Tianji’s help, even if he went all out!
Although Lin Mubai was at the Earthly Origin stage, one realm higher than him, Lin Feng’s cultivation of ancient techniques meant that fighting across a major realm was not a big problem!
“Haha!”
Lin Feng laughed heartily.
The frustrations of the past were merely paving the way for today’s rise!
At this rate of cultivation, it wouldn’t be long before he surpassed Jiang Lianyue, and it was only a matter of time before he could confront Jiang Chen!
After the laughter, Lin Feng stood up, ready to seek out Xiao Hongyi.
Besides wanting to find out about Jiang Chen’s punishment, he also wanted Xiao Hongyi to see his talent!
As long as he could catch the attention of this beautiful master, he would no longer fear Jiang Chen, and he might even obtain the Nine Abyss Soul Embryo to awaken Old Man Tianji from his slumber.
“Squeak—”
The door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and the person who entered was Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu was not surprised by Lin Feng’s awakening.
After all, the commotion from Lin Feng’s breakthrough was quite loud, and many disciples of the Jiuyan Sect must have noticed it.
“Congratulations, Six… Brother Lin! You’ve turned misfortune into a blessing and made great progress in your cultivation!” Zhang Hu said with a beaming smile.
Brother Lin?
This address made Lin Feng frown.
Before falling off the cliff, Zhang Hu used to call him “Sixth Senior Brother,” but now it had changed to Brother Lin?
How cold the world can be!
He guessed inwardly.
It must be because Lin Feng was no match for Jiang Chen, so Zhang Hu changed the way he addressed him!
He had a good impression of Zhang Hu, thinking they were not only kindred spirits but also brothers who shared hardships. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Now he saw clearly, Zhang Hu was a two-faced scoundrel! “What brings you here, Brother Zhang? We’re not that close, are we?”
Lin Feng said with a stern face.
The words were a bit harsh, but Zhang Hu didn’t mind and directly took out a pill and said, “Brother Lin, this is a seventh-grade Spirit Induction Pill that can help you further your cultivation and solidify your Core Formation! The Peak Master specifically asked me to deliver it to you.”
A seventh-grade Spirit Induction Pill?
Lin Feng’s eyes lit up! But after looking at the pill, he looked suspicious.
Judging by the pill’s halo, it was undoubtedly a seventh-grade pill, but it felt cold to the touch and carried a chilling aura, not at all like a pill that could enhance cultivation.
Lin Feng took another look at Zhang Hu.
Although Zhang Hu said the pill was a gift from Xiao Hongyi, who knew if it was true?
He wouldn’t be foolish enough to easily trust a two-faced person!
After some thought, he handed the pill back to Zhang Hu and said with a chuckle, “Since it’s a pill that can enhance cultivation, I’ll give it to you!”
“Really?” Zhang Hu was overjoyed.
Worried that Lin Feng might change his mind, he immediately tried to put the pill into his mouth.
But before he could swallow it, Lin Feng snatched it back!
“Of course it’s just a jest.” Lin Feng changed his stance in an instant without a hint of embarrassment.
Zhang Hu’s face darkened.
Wasn’t this just toying with him?
He had just felt guilty for speaking ill of Lin Feng behind his back.
Now it seemed there was no need for guilt!
“I’ll keep the pill. What are you still doing here?” Lin Feng spoke again.
“I promised the Peak Master to watch you refine the pill.” Zhang Hu replied instantly.
This made Lin Feng even more cautious.
Back in the Lower Domain, there were many who wanted to poison him.
Without exception, they all wanted to watch him take the poison!
Lin Feng also had some knowledge of pill refining, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t figure out the pill, even feeling like he had never seen it before.
‘If Old Man Tianji wasn’t asleep, he would surely be able to tell at a glance whether this is a poison pill with his insight!’ Lin Feng lamented in his heart.
Indeed. It was the… he had lost count of how many days since Old Man Tianji was asleep, and he missed him.
Lin Feng glanced at Zhang Hu again, who was still looking enviously at the pill in his hand.
‘Judging from Zhang Hu’s behavior just now, the pill doesn’t seem like a poison pill. But what if, just what if someone wanted to poison me through Zhang Hu?’ He analyzed in his mind.
But according to Zhang Hu, the pill was a gift from Xiao Hongyi.
‘This beautiful master is a bit strange, but she wouldn’t poison her own disciple…’ Lin Feng was once again in a dilemma.
Suddenly.
“Bang—”
The door to the room was kicked open with force.
“Haha! Junior Brother Lin, I heard you’ve awakened from your coma, and as your Eldest Senior Brother, I’ve come to visit you!” Jiang Chen entered the room.
His arrival startled both Lin Feng and Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu was considering whether to kneel before speaking.
Lin Feng, with a dark face, replied, “Eldest Senior Brother, please go back. I’m fine and don’t need any comfort!”
“How can that be? Jiuyan Sect is almost out of normal people, and you’ve finally woken up from a coma. As your Eldest Senior Brother, I naturally have to come and spar with you! Don’t worry, I’m quite heavy-handed.” Jiang Chen smiled wickedly.
As he spoke, he was ready to make a move.
But when he saw the pill in Lin Feng’s hand, he suddenly stopped! His pupils shrank!
With just one glance, he confirmed.
The pill in Lin Feng’s hand was definitely a Seven Abyss Pill! Such a poisonous pill, how did it end up in Lin Feng’s hands? And judging by Lin Feng’s appearance, he seemed ready to eat it?
That’s not something you can eat!
Lin Feng was the Son of Destiny, and even if he really ate it, it probably wouldn’t be a big deal.
But Jiang Chen didn’t want to take the risk!
After all, if the tool for ascension became foolish, it would affect his grand plan!
“Junior Brother Lin, hand over the pill quickly!” Jiang Chen stepped forward, ready to snatch it.
But he had only taken one step.
“Gulp!”
Lin Feng swallowed the pill with the speed of lightning, not giving Jiang Chen a chance to react!
Not only that, after swallowing the pill, he crossed his arms and said smugly, “Haha, Jiang Chen! This pill is a bit strange, others told me to eat it, and I really dared not. But you don’t want me to eat it? Sorry, I must eat it!”
“… Farewell.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen turned and left.
