9: Lingyun Pavilion Square News

The female Cultivator in front of him thought she had a customer.

From her appearance, she seemed to have just set up her stall.

Seeing Lin Feng inquire, she shyly introduced, "Junior Brother, are you referring to this Qinglang Talisman Brush made from the hair of a Clear Wind Wolf?"

Lin Feng nodded without changing his expression and asked the Senior Sister in front of him, "It is this Talisman Brush.

Senior Sister, how many Spirit Stones does this Talisman Brush cost?"

The female Cultivator in front of him thought she had a customer and earnestly began to explain to Lin Feng.

After the Senior Sister's patient explanation, Lin Feng learned that this low-grade Magical Artifact, the Talisman Brush alone, cost forty Spirit Stones.

Adding a stack of Talismans for two Spirit Stones and a bottle of spiritual ink for ten Spirit Stones, the total came to fifty-two Spirit Stones.

The female Cultivator even offered Lin Feng a discount, shyly saying, "If Junior Brother needs it, I can give you these Talismans for free.

It will be fifty Spirit Stones.

Do you want it now, Junior Brother?

If so, I'll pack it for you immediately."

A hint of awkwardness flashed across Lin Feng's Face, and he shook his head, "Senior Sister, Junior Brother currently doesn't have enough Spirit Stones.

Please allow me to gather more, and I will come back to purchase it from you next time."

As Lin Feng was about to leave, a hint of disappointment flashed across the female Cultivator's Face.

Just then, an Outer Sect Disciple nearby, noticing Lin Feng's Utility Disciple attire, scoffed, "No Spirit Stones, yet you come here pretending to be a big shot.

Go play somewhere else."

Lin Feng turned to look at the Sect Disciple who had mocked him.

Seeing his condescending demeanor, and without knowing the other party's background, Lin Feng decided to endure it.

He didn't have any Heaven-Defying entries; if he retaliated and a fight broke out, he would be in trouble if he couldn't win.

Lin Feng awkwardly moved aside, and the Disciple no longer looked at Lin Feng.

Instead, he ran up to the female Cultivator with a fawning smile and started chattering familiarly, "Junior Sister Chen, that kid doesn't look like a good person at all.

Wearing Utility Disciple attire, how could he possibly have Spirit Stones?

I'll help you chase him away!"

Senior Sister Chen frowned at the newcomer, her previous shyness replaced by seriousness as she sternly warned the Cultivator in front of her, "Senior Brother Wei, you are not to interfere in my affairs.

If you continue to pester me, my brother will be here soon, and then you'll be in for another beating.

Now, go away."

Upon hearing about Senior Sister Chen's brother, the man's expression changed, a clear hint of panic flashing across his Face, though he quickly forced himself to appear calm.

Hearing the female Cultivator named Chen advise him to leave, his Face again took on a look of intoxication.

He chuckled, becoming smug, "I knew Junior Sister cared about me.

Since my brother-in-law is coming, I'll take my leave first.

Junior Sister, if you ever need anything in the future, don't forget to call for me, Wei Ming."

It was only then that the Outer Sect Disciple Cultivator, who called himself Wei Ming, turned around.

As he turned, he happened to see Lin Feng watching the scene from the side, and a look of displeasure immediately appeared on his Face as he walked towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng saw Wei Ming approaching, glanced at him, and turned to leave.

Wei Ming looked only seventeen or eighteen, with a somewhat effeminate appearance and a rather handsome Face.

However, his recent behavior and effeminate looks gave off a lewd impression.

Seeing Lin Feng about to leave, the playful smile on his Face instantly turned to displeasure.

"Hey kid, I'm talking to you!

Don't go, Senior Brother has something to say!"

He caught up to Lin Feng in a few strides, making him stop.

Lin Feng didn't want to cause trouble, but he was a step too late.

Seeing the Outer Sect Senior Brother rush over, he feigned an honest demeanor and respectfully clasped his fists towards the Senior Brother, saying, "Senior Brother, I just came here to look around and inquire about prices, and I didn't disturb that Senior Sister.

I observe that Senior Brother has an extraordinary bearing and is clearly not an ordinary person.

May I ask what instructions Senior Brother has?"

Wei Ming had originally intended to trouble Lin Feng, but seeing Lin Feng praise him in front of the girl he admired, he immediately felt he had gained Face.

He walked up to Lin Feng, patted his shoulder, and nodded with satisfaction, his tone softening considerably.

"I see that Junior Brother acted unintentionally.

Your words suit my temper, kid.

In the future, don't bother Junior Sister Chen.

Since you were just asking about prices, that's fine, you can go.

If anyone troubles you in the future, remember to mention my name, Wei Ming."

Lin Feng's mind was not that of a child, nor would he cause trouble without reason.

He had a bright future ahead and saw no need to get entangled with a simple-minded fellow like Wei Ming.

He clasped his fists in a salute to him:

"Senior Brother is truly righteous.

Then Junior Brother will not disturb you further.

Farewell!"

Seeing Lin Feng so discerning, Wei Ming felt he had gained Face, waved his hand, and allowed Lin Feng to leave.

Lin Feng did not want to stay there any longer and immediately took the opportunity to leave.

He was too lazy to interact further with someone like Wei Ming, and turned to leave the Cloud-Soaring Pavilion plaza.

As Lin Feng left, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, lamenting his bad luck at encountering such a situation.

Fortunately, Lin Feng's mindset was not that of a young man.

If this had happened to a young and impetuous Cultivator, it would inevitably lead to friction.

Lin Feng was currently just a Utility Disciple, with low cultivation and no background.

His Spiritual Root Aptitude was also very poor.

If he truly offended some powerful Cultivators in the Sect, it would be difficult to resolve.

Being able to bow his head and resolve it with words was the best possible outcome.

Lin Feng's visit to the Cloud-Soaring Pavilion plaza this time had also broadened his horizons.

The dazzling array of cultivation items on the plaza had greatly increased his knowledge.

Here, there were not only various Talismans that could enhance combat power, but also Medicinal Pills that Qi Refining Cultivators could use to improve their cultivation, as well as some healing Medicinal Pills, and various Magical Artifacts used by Cultivators in combat, all of which made Lin Feng envious and lament his empty pockets.

Lin Feng was currently just a Utility Disciple, with no background and no Spirit Stones.

Lin Feng decided to discuss with a few Fellow Brothers who lived in the same row of wooden houses and also borrow some Spirit Stones from them.

Upon returning to his residence, Lin Feng gathered the nine Fellow Brothers who lived in the same row of wooden houses.

These Junior Brothers had already been in the Sect for a year.

Lin Feng gathered everyone to borrow Spirit Stones.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Lin Feng did not immediately state his purpose for gathering everyone.

These people looked at Lin Feng with curiosity in his small wooden house, wondering why he had called them there.

Lin Feng spoke first, "I have gathered all of you Junior Brothers today because I have a request.

Before I state this matter, I will first share some thoughts on our two years of cultivation in the Sect.

If any Junior Brothers find it inappropriate, you may point it out first."

The nine Junior Brothers in front of him all looked puzzled, not knowing what Lin Feng intended to do.

At this moment, Xiong Hu couldn't help but be the first to ask:

"Senior Brother Lin, stop being so secretive.

Just say what's on your mind.

We've been Fellow Brothers for a year; do you think we don't trust you?

Look at the other rows of wooden houses; those powerful Senior Brothers often bully the Junior Brothers who live in their row.

Senior Brother, you have never treated us that way.

Just tell us what it is; how could we here not trust you?"

After Xiong Hu finished speaking, the other Junior Brothers also nodded in agreement, looking at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled slightly at this and shared his thoughts on his two years in the Sect.

"Fellow Junior Brothers, we Cultivators pursue the Grand Dao of immortality, but the path of Cultivation is incredibly arduous.

To go further on the path of immortal cultivation, we Cultivators always learn some survival skills.

I am now at Qi Refining Stage 3, and I no longer need to worry about the assessment four years from now, but do all of you Junior Brothers have the confidence?"
