84: Good luck

It wouldn't be too late to explore after his Cultivation had a Breakthrough. Thus, Lin Feng carefully put away the map and began his secluded Cultivation.

Before Lin Feng went into seclusion, he went to the Sect's Medicinal Pill shop and informed the shopkeeper that he needed to go into seclusion and purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill, preparing for Foundation Establishment. He hoped the shopkeeper could let him complete his tasks early.

The shopkeeper was slightly surprised upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Alright, since you need to go into seclusion, I'll consider your previous tasks completed. As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, I happen to have one here; you can take it first."

Lin Feng took out a thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and gave them to the shopkeeper, then took the Foundation Establishment Pill, looking at the shopkeeper gratefully and saying, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

Afterward, Lin Feng left the Medicinal Pill shop and returned to his residence to begin his secluded Cultivation.

The days of seclusion were monotonous and boring, but Lin Feng enjoyed them. Every day, besides Cultivating, he studied the map, trying to find more clues.

After several months of arduous Cultivation, Lin Feng's Cultivation finally had a Breakthrough. He successfully advanced from Early Stage Foundation Establishment to Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, greatly increasing his strength.

As Lin Feng's Cultivation improved, he received new entries hints again.

Breakthrough Realm, gained the right to choose entries.

One: Purple entry · Ice Spiritual Body (Ice attribute Cultivation Technique Cultivation increased by 200%, ice attribute damage increased by 50%). Can advance.

Two: Purple entry · Profound Yin Spiritual Body (Yin attribute Cultivation Technique Cultivation increased by 200%, yin attribute damage increased by 50%). Can advance.

Three: Purple entry · Slight Luck Infusion (Luck is slightly better than average, occasionally gaining some Opportunity). Can advance.

Lin Feng looked at the three entries, all purple. After reading them, he found that the first two seemed useless. He didn't have a special Spiritual Root, so even if he chose the Ice Spiritual Body and Profound Yin Body, he didn't know if they would be useful.

However, this was the first time Lin Feng had encountered a Luck-type entry. Just a Slight Luck Infusion being a purple entry surprised him a little.

Lin Feng considered it for a moment, feeling uncertain if the first two choices would be useful to him, and decisively chose the third, Slight Luck Infusion.

At this moment, Lin Feng's panel showed new changes.

Character: Lin Feng

Realm: Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment

Gray entries: 1. Early Misfortune: Cannot advance.

Green entries: 1. Minor Comprehension: Can advance. 2. Talisman Control: Can advance. 3. Drug Resistance: Cannot advance. 4. Alchemy Mastery: Can advance.

Blue entries: 1. Spirit Rhinoceros Eye: Can evolve once. 2. Keen Observation: Can advance once. 3. Heaven Rewards Diligence: Cannot advance. 4. Midnight Bone Tempering: Cannot advance.

Purple entries: 1. Heaven-Sent Ten Years: Can advance. 2. Slight Luck Infusion.

Orange entries: 1. Five Elements Sacred Body: Currently cannot advance.

Lin Feng didn't feel any difference with the Slight Luck Infusion.

However, Lin Feng didn't mind. After all, entries are sometimes mysterious, and perhaps one day in the future, it could bring him a great Opportunity.

Since he had made his choice, Lin Feng no longer dwelled on it. He stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt the spiritual power surging within him, a sense of exhilaration filling his heart.

He knew that he had been in secluded Cultivation long enough, and it was time to go out and explore. Thus, Lin Feng put away the ancient map and decided to head to Yue Country to find the gathering place for Loose Cultivators.

Before leaving, Lin Feng bought some Medicinal Pills and Spirit Talismans in the market, just in case. Lin Feng informed the shopkeeper of the Sect's Medicinal Pill pavilion that his Foundation Establishment had failed, and after completing two years of tasks, he wanted to travel far to clear his mind.

The shopkeeper did not stop him at all and readily agreed. Lin Feng didn't know if this was due to the Slight Luck Infusion, but he completed the task in two months.

After completing the task, Lin Feng took out the map. Lin Feng and Lan Yudao had confirmed multiple times that this place was at the junction of Shui Yun Country and Wu Country, and Wu Country was adjacent to Yue Country.

Lin Feng planned to go and see. The reason Lin Feng intended to go was that Lan Yudao had informed him that this place had Spirit Medicine needed for crafting Core Formation.

Lin Feng thought to himself, the Spirit Medicine needed for crafting Core Formation was undoubtedly a huge temptation for him. After all, although his Cultivation had already advanced to Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, it would be extremely difficult to go further.

And Core Formation was an important milestone on his Cultivation path. Once he successfully formed a core, his strength would undergo a qualitative leap. By then, even when facing some powerful enemies, he would be able to handle them calmly.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng's determination became even firmer. Regardless of whether what Lan Yudao said about this place was true or false, he had to go and see. He packed his bags, brought enough Medicinal Pills and Spirit Talismans, and embarked on his journey to Yue Country.

Along the way, Lin Feng brought Xiao Ying, playing and frolicking. It took them half a month to reach the place on the map, finally arriving at the junction of Shui Yun Country and Wu Country.

Xiao Ying's strength had increased significantly, and her intelligence was also a bit higher than before. Since devouring Lan Yudao's black panther, after half a month of slumber, her strength had improved considerably, and she was now at the Peak of the first Realm.

When Lin Feng arrived at the treasure map's location, he was stunned. Many Cultivators had gathered there. Lin Feng caught a few low-Cultivation, low-to-mid-stage Qi Refining Cultivators and learned that a group of Cultivators had been running around the borders of Shui Yun Country and Wu Country, selling treasure maps of this place everywhere.

The matter of the treasure map had spread, leading to a large number of Cultivators gathering here. Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He hadn't expected this treasure map to be leaked so easily.

Facing so many Cultivators, Lin Feng knew that it would be almost impossible to find the so-called Ancient Ruins alone. It seemed he could only go with the flow and see if he could find some clues among these Cultivators.

Lin Feng blended into the crowd and began to inquire about news of the Ruins. However, to his disappointment, most Cultivators had only heard about the treasure map and were unclear about the specific location of the Ruins.

Just as Lin Feng was feeling a bit dejected, he suddenly overheard a conversation between two Cultivators nearby.

One of the Cultivators said, "I heard that there are countless treasures in those Ruins, and there might even be Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals from ancient times!"

The other Cultivator, upon hearing this, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes and he said, "If we can obtain Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals from ancient times, our Cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"

Lin Feng's heart stirred when he heard this. He understood that the reason these Cultivators were flocking to this place so frantically was because of those so-called ancient Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals.

However, Lin Feng did not lose his composure because of this. These Ruins were bound to be full of dangers, and a slight carelessness could lead to death.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng decided to observe the actions of these Cultivators first, then look for an Opportunity to enter the Ruins.

Thus, Lin Feng found a hidden spot and secretly observed the movements of the Cultivators. He discovered that among these Cultivators, there were quite a few powerful existences, and even some Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
