While taking an herbal bath, Lin Feng spoke with Lin Xia and told her about everything that had been going on in his life.
He also explained how he had met Xu Min.
She was extremely pleased to hear that Xu Min was willing to be his Dao partner and inquire about the case involving Lin Kai, which caused her to frown because she believed Lin Feng was being unfairly blamed.
Lin Feng asked Lin Xia to keep others out of his business and to leave the situation alone because he did not want to stir up trouble in the Lin estate.
As Lin Feng talked about other things, he also questioned her about whether or not she was exempt from work for coming here and if so, how free she was to do so.
Given that Lin Xia's response was quite intriguing and that there had been some strange movement in the shadow of the desolate forest, she was dispatched to investigate what was happening there.
After all, he had heard from many hunters and martial artists that the monster beast inside the forest was active.
Following Lin Xia's confirmation, Lin Feng began to wonder if a similar incident had occurred in the novel as well.
However, he was unable to recall many details and could only observe what actually occurred.
Hence, it was Lin Xia who was assigned to the city post, which was the excuse she used to come to this city, and the main reason was to spend some time with Lin Feng.
"So, it is dangerous out there, and you will have to get permission from me if you want to go out inside the forest to hone your skills, alright?"
Given that she was also requesting this for his benefit and that he still had a lot of training to do in a variety of areas, Lin Feng agreed with her while grinning dryly at her remarks.
He also didn't intend to act recklessly anytime soon.
"Good, and if you need anything, then you can tell me about it, given that even if I do not look like it, I am pretty rich being the elder of an auction house that is famous in our kingdom."
After leaving behind Lin Feng to train quietly, Lin Xia walked out and muttered.
'This time he is thinking of training in Ying-Yang Twist body-strengthening art, huh?' She would need to prepare something, so she pulled out a small piece of paper and jotted the information down.
However, Lin Feng was seated inside the herbal art and had already begun chanting the Ying-Yang Twist Art mantra, which allowed the Qi inside the bath to course through his body and release tension from specific acupoints in his muscles.
Whereas Lin Feng muscles, who exhibited the behaviors of a ravenous beast, began to ingest the Qi from the herbal bath and were storing the excess inside their cell.
Nevertheless, due to the fact that those muscles' cells—which are not typically used for storing Qi—were burdened by the act, his body was under tremendous stress during this process.
As a result, Lin Feng exited the bathtub after sensing that his cells had reached their capacity to store Qi, and he began to twist his body into various shapes, exerting pressure on his muscles and depleting his energy with each pattern.
Ying-Yang Twist.
This art has 108 sets of movements, and it is impossible for one person to perform all of them at once because, if one person makes a mistake during any of the 108 stances, the following movement will be under a great deal of pressure.
Not to mention that performing one set of movement stances is already extremely taxing; if stress arises from performing the movements incorrectly, the person will only give up before completing the set in one sitting.
However, Lin Feng, who has performed this series of exercises numerous times in the world of training, did not make any mistakes when completing the set.
As a result, Lin Feng began his regimen of exercises and maintained it through the 18th form.
He had a propensity for pain and had perfected his knowledge in the field of twisting art.
36th movement.
64th movement.
79th movement.
He persevered, gritting his teeth, through each repetition of the exercise until he was exhausted after the 100th twist and could hardly move as he limped to the bathtub, where he collapsed exhausted and closed his eyes.
However, at that point Lin Feng was exhausted and unconscious, and his body was consuming all the Qi and nourishment in the tub to fill him up.
In keeping with that, when Lin Feng awoke from his sleep, he discovered that the bath tub had been removed and that a small basket with a letter had been placed by the side of the bed. As a result, after sitting down on the bed, Lin Feng turned to look at the letter Lin Xia had written to him, giving him information about twisting art and herbs that could help with recovery. "Acting mysteriously and all, leaving without even telling me front on." Lin Feng sighed and then got to his feet, changing into a fresh set of clothes and using the Training Card once more.
Comparably, when Lin Feng arrived at the herbal house, he was informed that Xu Min had left and left the letter there for him, despite the fact that many envious eyes were immediately fixed on him. Given that the contents of the letter were extremely misleading and it appeared as though Xu Min wanted to leave with him, Lin Feng frowned as he read it. "Look, isn't that young master Feng of the Lin family? Are you perhaps here to meet Lady Min, in which case you are too late, as she is returning to the sect today?" Hearing Lin Feng frowned and looked at the guy who was walking with his hands behind his back, looking down on Lin Feng.
"Hmm, it is as if you are here to deliver a message from Xu Min, then let me ask you the reason: you are trying to interfere with the letter she left behind." Given that such a pointless scenario—where someone would alter the message to force the protagonist to break up with the female companion—is not all that common in novels, Lin Feng was incredibly bored. Not to mention, when Lin Feng looked at Xu Min's favorability rating, which was at 85%, he was confident that she has no intention of leaving him. "I see you are very sharp with your tongue, but that does not mean that I will silently listen to your complaints forever." In preparation for an attack on Lin Feng, the other guy's aura exploded, but Lin Feng didn't appear to be bothered.
Lin Feng was able to demonstrate his 9th layer Qi Gathering strength and give the impression that he was a trainee at the herbal house when he felt pressure from the other party. "With this little amount of strength, you are acting this mighty, huh? Let me tell you what cultivation is all about; I don't even need martial arts to deal with you." While adopting the fundamental stance for swordsmanship, Lin Feng grinned.
"Shut-up!!!" The boy then launched himself powerfully toward Lin Feng while summoning all of his Qi and employing the most effective martial technique he knew.
"Solar Flame Palm..." A small amount of Qi from the seventh layer of refining art, which was incredibly pure and capable of dodging all the heat without the use of any special techniques, was all that Lin Feng needed to remain unperturbed by the terrifying heat emanating from his hand.
Before the opponent's hand could get to Lin Feng, a small flash of light from the still-unsheathed sword of Lin Feng, which was emitting pure Qi and heading straight for the opponent's chest, struck 12 times in quick succession.
Stab-Basic of Basic Sword Art.
When used in this pattern, release 12 times the normal attack and send the guy flying back as he slammed on the wall and puked blood. "Before running behind the girl, try to become a strong person who would be chased by them willingly."
After saying that, the man looked down at him and began to walk down while shaking his head and glaring at him angrily. Along with his departure, Lin Feng also crumbled the letter and looked at the girl who gave him the fake letter.
"Where is the real deal? Give me that letter or tell me who changed that letter and is holding onto the real one." Lin Feng questioned as he stared at the girl, who nearly stumbled when he asked but didn't seem eager to answer.
"It was me, brat; do not make things hard for that girl." An old man walked up and looked at the girl and shook his head, which made her return back.
"I hope you can see that Xu Min is a rising hope for us all in Herbal House, and we did not want anyone to meddle with her or have a relationship with her."
