35: recall

Lin Feng followed Wang Mingtong back to the Zhao Family. After recuperating there for a few days, Wang Mingtong left with several Qi Refining Disciples from the Sect. He needed to report the events that had transpired to the Sect, allowing them to decide on subsequent actions.

Lin Feng, however, stayed behind. Although Lin Feng had resolved the Zhao Family's crisis, he was still under Martial Uncle Ye's command. Therefore, if he were to return, it would be to Liuyun Market. Moreover, Lin Feng's purpose in coming here was to find a quiet place for intense Cultivation. This conflict had cost Lin Feng many Talismans, and he hadn't gained anything, so Lin Feng wasn't willing to leave empty-handed.

This time, many Blood Demon Sect Cultivators were killed. Although a good number of items were plundered from these Cultivators, not many of them were valuable. Wang Mingtong was also very generous, giving Lin Feng one hundred Spirit Stones from the loot, which somewhat made up for Lin Feng's financial deficit.

Lin Feng used the possibility of the Blood Demon Sect reappearing as a reason to remain in Chunhe Prefecture and found a secluded place outside Chunhe Prefecture to settle down temporarily.

The reason Lin Feng didn't stay at the Zhao Family was that he feared the Blood Demon Sect might return for revenge, and the Zhao Family would be extremely dangerous. Lin Feng only maintained a single point of contact with Family Head Zhao, ensuring that only Family Head Zhao knew Lin Feng's whereabouts.

After this battle, Lin Feng reflected on his previous actions. Whether it was dealing with the Blood Demon Sect or the Li Family, Lin Feng felt he had been somewhat reckless.

Firstly, when Lin Feng investigated the Li Family, if it weren't for the help of the entries, with Lin Feng's Qi Refining Stage 6 Cultivation, he could have easily exposed himself, leading to his demise against a powerful enemy. Secondly, during combat, Lin Feng's performance was too conspicuous, making him an easy target. Furthermore, Lin Feng had been a bit hot-headed at the time, actually daring to pursue a Foundation Establishment cultivator with Wang Mingtong.

If that Blood Demon Sect Cultivator hadn't been continuously entangled by Wang Mingtong, as soon as he freed up his hands, killing Lin Feng would have been absolutely effortless. Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt a sense of lingering fear.

Lin Feng's purpose in coming here was to find a place free of conflict where he could Cultivate; otherwise, he might as well return to Liuyun Market.

After much thought, Lin Feng secretly admonished himself that he must never act impulsively again. Additionally, Lin Feng changed his location here. Zhao Minghui could only contact him by leaving a letter at a designated spot, which Lin Feng would check periodically.

This way, no one would know Lin Feng's whereabouts, and Lin Feng could Cultivate in peace in Chunhe Prefecture.

Lin Feng found a hidden place to Cultivate in Chunhe Prefecture, and he kept abreast of external events through correspondence with Family Head Zhao Minghui.

Through Zhao Minghui's letters, Lin Feng learned that shortly after Wang Mingtong left Chunhe Prefecture, Cloud-Soaring Pavilion dispatched several Foundation Establishment cultivators to Chunhe Prefecture to investigate the Blood Demon Sect matter. After a thorough investigation of Chunhe Prefecture, several Cultivator Families in the Chunhe Prefecture region were annihilated due to their involvement with the Blood Demon Sect.

They also discovered and eradicated a Blood Demon Sect stronghold in Chunhe Prefecture, and most of the Blood Demon Sect remnants in Chunhe Prefecture were killed, with only a few escaping.

Lin Feng felt relieved upon receiving this news. In the following days, Lin Feng did not venture out but instead went into seclusion for intense Cultivation in a large mountain outside Chunhe Prefecture.

The reason he chose this location was for the feeding of the Silver Shadow Leopard. Although Lin Feng brought many Siling Pills, he also wanted to save as much as possible by letting it forage in the mountains. Moreover, this place was sparsely populated, so Lin Feng's secluded Cultivation would not be disturbed.

Lin Feng devoted himself to intense Cultivation here for a full year. At sixteen and a half, Lin Feng finally achieved a Breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage 7, becoming a Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivator.

By this time, all the Talisman paper on Lin Feng's person had been crafted. In Lin Feng's simple Immortal Cave, completed Talismans were scattered everywhere.

Upon Breaking through to Qi Refining Stage 7, Lin Feng once again received a prompt from the entries panel.

Breakthrough in Realm, gaining the right to select entries.

One: Gray entry · Scapegoat (Where you appear, disaster follows.) Cannot be advanced.

Two: White entry · Spirit Beast Control (Easier than average to gain the approval of Spirit Beasts and Yao Beasts.) Note: Has potential for evolution.

Three: Green entry · Drug Resistance (Taking Medicinal Pills will not cause Drug Resistance.) Cannot be advanced.

Lin Feng frowned slightly at this set of entries. He wasn't very satisfied with them this time, but since choices were given, Lin Feng could only choose from these three entries.

Lin Feng had been taking Qi Gathering Pills for several years, and his Cultivation speed was extremely fast, consuming far more Medicinal Pills than ordinary people. He had already noticed that the effect of the Qi Gathering Pills was becoming increasingly diminished.

Lin Feng had summarized it himself during this period: this situation might be due to long-term use leading to the body developing Drug Resistance, or it could be that after Lin Feng's Cultivation improved, the effectiveness of the Qi Gathering Pills naturally decreased.

Although Lin Feng was not satisfied with the entries, upon careful consideration, this Drug Resistance was indeed quite practical, worthy of being a Green entry. Therefore, Lin Feng decisively chose Drug Resistance.

At this moment, Lin Feng's panel underwent a change.

Character: Lin Feng

Realm: Qi Refining Stage 7

Gray Entry One: Early Misfortune (Early Misfortune, but after experiencing misfortune, there will be an opportunity; brings harm to relatives.) Note: Cannot be advanced.

Green Entry One: Minor Comprehension (Comprehension Ability is twice as high as the average person.) Can be advanced.

Green Entry Two: Talisman Control (Talisman crafting success rate increases by 30%.) Can be advanced.

Green Entry Three: Strong Bones and Muscles (Possesses strong Meridians and bones.) Can be advanced once.

Green Entry Four: Green Entry · Drug Resistance (Taking Medicinal Pills will not cause Drug Resistance.) Cannot be advanced.

Blue Entry One: Spirit Rhinoceros Eye (Analyzes the operation trajectory of Cultivation Techniques, can see through low-level spell techniques, has a very small chance to replicate low-level spell techniques, but replication of high-level spell techniques will result in backlash.) Note: Can be evolved once.

Blue Entry Two: Keen Observation (Perceives subtle Spiritual Qi fluctuations within ten zhang, and emotional fluctuations of people nearby.) Can be advanced once.

Blue Entry Three: Heaven Rewards Diligence (Cultivating four hours daily doubles the effect; every additional three hours further doubles it.) Note: Cannot be advanced.

Looking at the panel, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. With his Cultivation Breakthrough, Lin Feng was in high spirits and prepared to go out for a stroll. At the same time, Lin Feng also went to the usual contact spot with Zhao Minghui to retrieve letters.

When Lin Feng saw the letter, his good mood from the Breakthrough instantly vanished. The two great Sects of Wei Country had withdrawn from Wei Country and joined forces with the Four Great Sects of Great Xin to resist the Evil Path Sects at the border.

Now, Liuyun Market had become the front line against the Evil Path of Wei Country. Lin Feng had been in Chunhe Prefecture for a year, and Ye Zhiqiu had also sent a letter asking Lin Feng to return to Liuyun Market.

Seeing this, Lin Feng's mood became heavy. The conflict between good and evil was merely a struggle for resources, yet the two sides were incompatible. As a Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivator, how could Lin Feng influence the situation? Going to Liuyun Market would serve no purpose whatsoever. Lin Feng was extremely unwilling to return to Liuyun Market at this time, but the command had already been issued.
