In a mountain cave, Lin Feng took out a ring, a ring he had acquired from the young man in white.
Three hours had passed, and Lin Feng released a dozen cultivators, instructing them to deal with the bodies of the young man in white and the alluring woman, then left without looking back.
"Twenty Great Strength Dragon Suppressing Pills, a magical bow, three hundred thousand taels of silver notes..." Lin Feng refined the storage ring and extracted its contents. There were dozens of items in total, but the most precious were the "Great Strength Dragon Suppressing Pills," the "magical bow," and the "three hundred thousand taels of silver notes."
This ring, known as the Spirit Ring, was forged by a Grandmaster-level Spirit Array Master and was worth millions of taels of silver.
Moreover, it was priceless and rarely available for purchase, even if one had the money.
Even within the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, only two such Spirit Rings existed.
"I never expected Duanmu Tianglang to be so fond of his son, actually giving him a Spirit Ring."
Lin Feng muttered to himself, but a smile appeared on his face. This Spirit Ring was indeed a treasure, about thirty cubic meters in size, capable of storing many things. Lin Feng refined the Spirit Ring by dripping his blood onto it.
In the mountain forest, a three-thousand-foot waterfall roared as it cascaded down.
Below the waterfall, there was a smooth rock, where a young man let the waterfall wash over his body.
This young man was none other than Lin Feng.
Great Saint Splitting.
Catch Moon in the Sea.
Jiaolong Rising from the Sea.
Under the force of the waterfall, Lin Feng practiced the martial arts he had learned. After taking twenty Great Strength Dragon Suppressing Pills, he came to the waterfall to harness its power, which helped better refine the medicine power of the pills.
It also served to temper the physical body.
As the saying goes, "Dripping water wears through stone."
The water curtain of the three-thousand-foot-high waterfall could instantly knock out a Martial Artist Seventh Level cultivator.
Beneath the waterfall was a vast pool, shrouded in mist, effectively concealing Lin Feng, who was cultivating beneath the waterfall. Even if someone passed by the pool, they would hardly notice Lin Feng.
After refining twenty Great Strength Dragon Suppressing Pills, Lin Feng's strength advanced rapidly, reaching sixteen thousand pounds.
Moreover, Lin Feng's realm ascended to the peak of Martial Artist Seventh Level.
"Haha, I haven't even broken through to Martial Artist Eighth Level, yet my strength has already increased to sixteen thousand pounds, capable of crushing Martial Artist Eighth Level cultivators."
Lin Feng's face lit up with joy, knowing that once he broke through to Martial Artist Eighth Level, his power would surge forward.
Splash.
Lin Feng dove directly into the pool, swimming like a fish.
Suddenly, Lin Feng felt the temperature of the pool dropping.
"What is going on?"
Lin Feng wore a puzzled expression.
He swam toward the center of the lake, as he found the temperature dropped further as he got closer.
This left Lin Feng perplexed.
When Lin Feng reached the lake's center, he saw a young girl floating there, practicing a secret technique.
Centered around her, waves of cold emitted, causing the surrounding water temperature to plummet.
"Cold Ice Attribute Skills."
Lin Feng was astonished.
The girl practicing the Ice Cold Technique seemed to sense something abnormal and opened her eyes, only to become mortified. In the distance, a man was staring at her.
"Scoundrel, how dare you barge into my place of cultivation to... spy? I will kill you."
The girl coldly snorted and sent a palm strike toward Lin Feng.
Crash.
A wave swept toward Lin Feng to crush him.
Lin Feng maintained his composure, quickly swimming to the right to evade the girl's attack.
Lin Feng hurriedly said, "I wasn't spying on you, I was cultivating under the nearby waterfall and felt an icy chill here, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect to find someone here."
The girl coldly snorted, "Who would believe your nonsense?"
As soon as the girl's voice faded, she attacked Lin Feng again.
The girl released three palm strikes.
Each strike was more powerful than the last.
Huge waves rose into the sky, forming ice spears in mid-air that lunged toward Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed; the girl wasn't joking, she genuinely intended to kill him.
When the three ice spears pierced through, Lin Feng quickly dove into the water, and the spears barely grazed his head. Avoiding the attack of the three ice spears was indeed a stroke of good luck.
The girl's pretty face slightly changed. She hadn't expected Lin Feng to evade her attack, and then she felt a pair of powerful arms embrace her from behind.
"Ah, you scoundrel..." The girl's face turned so red it seemed as though it could bleed.
Lin Feng said, "I just accidentally glanced at you a few times, and you want to kill me for it? If so, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The girl was frightened by Lin Feng's words, her face turning pale. She cried, "I may be at fault, but can you cut me some slack?"
Lin Feng was speechless, thinking he was almost killed by her ice spears and was now being asked to relent?
However, he truly had no deep grudges with the girl—it was a misunderstanding. Lin Feng said, "I can release you, but you must promise not to attack me again."
The girl bit her lip, realizing she had no choice but to agree. Furthermore, she was unclothed, being held by Lin Feng, and she feared what might happen next. She quickly nodded in agreement, and Lin Feng released her. They both left the pool and got dressed.
Seeing the glacial gaze from the girl, Lin Feng thought it was bad news, sensing she might want revenge. So he considered leaving immediately. Just then, seven or eight cultivators rapidly approached, led by a young man about twenty years old.
"Well, Murong Xue..." The leading young cultivator appeared surprised to encounter Murong Xue here, then broke into a cold smile.
"Sun Kui." Upon seeing the cultivator, Murong Xue's face slightly changed. It was apparent the two were acquainted and seemed to be adversaries.
"Haha, Murong Xue, why are you here in the Wilderness Jungle instead of staying in Heavenly Saint City?" Sun Kui's lustful gaze fell on Murong Xie.
"Heavenly Saint City?" Lin Feng was surprised, for it was one of the Ten Great Ancient Cities in East County Divine Land.
The Heavenly Martial Continent was divided into Three Thousand States, with East County Divine Land being one of them.
Within East County Divine Land, many forces existed, both empires and sects, but the most elite were the ancient forces among the Ten Great Ancient Cities.
This Murong Xue came from Heavenly Saint City, one of the Ten Great Ancient Cities, and seemed to be a disciple of its ancient forces.
"I'll go wherever I please. Why should you care?" Murong Xue snorted coldly.
"Murong Xue, this is the Wilderness Jungle, not Heavenly Saint City. Who can you boss around with that temper here? Young Master Yun Feng from the Soul Devouring Hall is also in these jungles and has always shown quite an interest in you. If I capture you and present you to Young Master Yun Feng, it will certainly be a great achievement. Capture Murong Xue, and as for that boy, kill him directly."
Sun Kui ordered.
"Yes."
Upon receiving the command, the dozen or so cultivators divided into two groups, with fierce expressions, surrounding Lin Feng and Murong Xue.
