25: Great changes in the Wei Kingdom

Feeling the surging Spiritual Qi within him, Lin Feng's heart was filled with ambition. Lin Feng understood that breaking through to Qi Refining Stage 6 was just a small milestone on his Cultivation path; a vaster world awaited him to explore.

To consolidate his new Realm, Lin Feng decided to continue Cultivating the Iron Bone Soul Forging Art. This Body Refining Cultivation Technique had extremely high requirements for Meridians and bones, and the green entries of 'Strong Meridians and Bones' that Lin Feng had just acquired could help him.

During Cultivation, Lin Feng felt an unprecedented smoothness. His Meridians and bones seemed to be nourished by a mysterious power, becoming tougher and stronger. His control and application of Spiritual Qi also became more proficient as his Cultivation deepened.

Besides Cultivating, Lin Feng also began preparing new Talismans. He knew that in the Cultivation World, strength was the foundation of everything. Talismans, as one of his Good at methods, were also his primary means of acquiring resources at the moment, so he naturally couldn't neglect them and needed to advance further.

He carefully selected some precious Materials and began making new Talismans. With his exquisite skill and rich experience, Lin Feng quickly produced a batch of powerful Talismans. These Talismans could not only have unexpected effects in battle but also serve as a defensive measure for him.

Just as Lin Feng was immersed in the joy of Cultivating and Talismans crafting, news suddenly came from Liuyun Market. The Wei Country's two major Sects' joint operation against the evil Cultivators was launched again, and this time, they seemed to have found the evil Cultivators' hiding place and were preparing for a general attack.

Lin Feng felt that Wei Country's operation would not succeed. Such news, even they in the distant Great Xin Country could know, so the evil Cultivators would certainly receive the news. How could such an operation be made known to everyone?

Lin Feng pondered to himself, perhaps this was a crisis for Liuyun Market, or it could be an opportunity. If Wei Country's operation truly failed as he expected, then the evil Cultivators might take this opportunity to expand their power, possibly even affecting the Great Xin Country.

And he, as a member of the Great Xin Country, especially with Liuyun Market being close to Wei Country, the evil Cultivators would definitely impact Liuyun Market, and there might even be a crisis.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng decided to prepare in advance. He began to Cultivate even more diligently, not limited to the Iron Bone Soul Forging Art, but also including various other Spells. He knew that only by continuously improving his strength could he stand undefeated in the coming crisis.

At the same time, Lin Feng also began to collect information about the evil Cultivators. Through various channels in Liuyun Market, he inquired about the evil Cultivators' movements and strength, trying to find their weaknesses.

Lin Feng Cultivated and crafted Talismans in Liuyun Market, occasionally going to Qingyun Mountain Range with Xiong Hu, Qi Liang, and Qi Kun to hunt Yao Beasts, in order to obtain some precious Materials and Yao Beast inner cores.

These Yao Beast inner cores could not only be used to make more Advanced Talismans but also as Materials for Alchemy, which was of no small help in improving one's Cultivation.

During one Yao Beast hunting operation, Lin Feng unexpectedly discovered a hidden cave. The cave was filled with rich Spiritual Qi, obviously containing something unusual. He cautiously entered the cave and found that a precious Spirit Medicine—Spirit Origin Grass—was growing inside.

Spirit Origin Grass was one of the main Materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pill, and extremely rare. Lin Feng was overjoyed, quickly picked the Spirit Origin Grass, and carefully put it into his storage bag.

With this Spirit Origin Grass, Lin Feng was one step closer to his goal of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. He knew that the Foundation Establishment Pill played a crucial role for him to Breakthrough the Qi Refinement Stage and enter the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Now that Lin Feng had entered Qi Refining Stage 6, it was time to make some preparations for Foundation Establishment. After more than three months of diligent Cultivation of the Iron Bone Soul Forging Art, Lin Feng officially entered Body Refining Stage Early Stage 1.

When Lin Feng entered Body Refining Stage 1, his height immediately increased by four or five centimeters. The fifteen-year-old Lin Feng was originally about 1.7 meters tall, but now that he had entered Body Refining Stage 1, his height increased significantly, almost comparable to that of an ordinary adult Cultivator.

His figure became more upright, his muscle lines became more defined, and his whole person exuded a powerful aura different from before. Lin Feng was very satisfied with his changes. He knew that Body Refining Stage 1 was just the beginning, and as his Cultivation deepened, his body would become increasingly powerful.

Lin Feng walked into the courtyard and saw a millstone. He lifted it with both hands, then with one hand. The three to four hundred jin heavy millstone was as light as cotton in Lin Feng's hand. Lin Feng estimated his own strength. His single arm could exert over a thousand jin of strength.

Just as Lin Feng was reveling in his strong body, Xiong Hu ran over, looking anxious.

Lin Feng saw Xiong Hu's appearance and motioned: "Huzi, what's the matter, so urgent? Let's go to my room to talk."

Xiong Hu followed Lin Feng into the room and said with a solemn expression: "Brother Feng, I just received news that the Wei Country's operation seems to have truly run into problems. The evil Cultivators got wind of it in advance and were already prepared. The two major Sects of Wei Country suffered heavy losses."

Lin Feng frowned upon hearing this. He had long anticipated such a result, but he didn't expect the evil Cultivators' reaction to be so swift and decisive.

"It seems our preparations are still not sufficient."

Lin Feng said in a deep voice, "However, there's no need to worry too much. As long as we improve our strength and make thorough preparations, even if the evil Cultivators truly come, we can deal with them. Even if we are no match, I believe the Sect will not ignore us."

Xiong Hu nodded, his expression slightly relaxed. He knew that Lin Feng had always been a calm and decisive person, and with him around, they had hope.

"Brother Feng, what should we do now?" Xiong Hu asked.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said: "First, we must continue to strengthen our Cultivation and improve our strength. Second, we must increase the intensity of patrols in Liuyun Market to prevent evil Cultivators from sneaking in. Finally, we must gather more information about the evil Cultivators as soon as possible, understand their movements and strength, and know ourselves and our enemy."

Lin Feng then added: "Of course, these matters are not for us to consider. I believe the Foundation Establishment Seniors will make arrangements. We only need to improve our Cultivation and secretly observe suspicious individuals. In the future, we must be even more careful when going to Qingyun Mountain Range."

Upon hearing this, a hint of determination flashed in Xiong Hu's eyes. He knew that the coming days would be even more difficult, but as long as they united, they would surely overcome the difficulties.

"Brother Feng, don't worry, I will definitely do as you instruct," Xiong Hu said solemnly.

Lin Feng patted Xiong Hu's shoulder and said: "Huzi, I trust you. Inform me of any news at any time, and we'll figure it out together then." The two exchanged a smile and immediately began to act.

Lin Feng returned to his room to continue Cultivating the Iron Bone Soul Forging Art, while Xiong Hu took Qi Liang and Qi Kun to various corners of Liuyun Market, secretly observing for any suspicious individuals.
