208: Seven Emotions Illusion

"Seven Emotions Illusion Realm, activate!"

In an instant, Lin Feng only felt the surrounding scenery ripple and distort like water waves. The valley vanished, and before his eyes appeared people and objects he was intimately familiar with.

Luo Linger was lying lazily on her side on a brocade couch, covered only by a layer of silk as thin as a cicada's wing, her graceful curves faintly visible.

Her eyes drifted, carrying a hint of coquettishness and temptation. She reached out with a slender finger and beckoned him, her vermilion lips parting slightly, her voice sweet and bone-melting: "Junior Brother Lin... aren't you coming over? Linger has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Feng's vision blurred, and the scene changed abruptly. The figure of Xiao Qinghan appeared, bound tightly in mid-air by several jet-black chains. Her plain white clothing was torn in many places, revealing patches of snowy skin. Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed, blood stained the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were filled with humiliation and anxiety as she hissed: "Lin Feng! Go quickly! This is a trap!"

Immediately after, Su Sizhu appeared alongside Fang Lingyao. Both women were lying exposed, but their eyes were vacant, like jade carvings that had lost their Soul.

Su Sizhu murmured: "Lin Feng... save me..." While Fang Lingyao was teary-eyed: "Senior Brother Lin... don't worry about us..."

Before Lin Feng could recover, the scene changed again, revealing the Immortal Cave of his Revered Master, Lu Yuchan.

Lu Yuchan was not wearing her outer robe, only a piece of close-fitting undergarment. Her hair was slightly disheveled, her pretty face flushed, and she fell into his arms with a dazed look in her eyes, breathing like an orchid: "Feng'er... Revered Master's... Dao Heart is in chaos, only you can..."

The feeling of holding such fragrant, soft jade in his arms was incomparably real. That familiar body scent, mixed with a strange aura of passion, was frantically assaulting the bottom line of Lin Feng's rationality.

These continuous, increasingly erotic and explicit illusions, which pointed directly at the concerns and hidden desires within his heart, were attempting to completely disintegrate his will.

Lin Feng's breathing suddenly became rapid, the Qi and blood within his body surging. A primitive impulse was almost drowning his rationality, and his eyes appeared dazed, as if he were truly about to sink into this land of tenderness, this hero's graveyard.

However, at this moment, deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the heaven-stealing vine shook violently, and an extremely cool aura, like a cold spring from the Nine Heavens, swept through his entire body.

Wherever this aura passed, the surging Qi and blood were forcibly suppressed, and his restless mind was instantly cleared.

"Ugh!" Lin Feng let out a muffled groan, his eyes regaining clarity, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

That was close! This illusion was actually so powerful, striking directly at the most primitive desires and weaknesses of the human heart!

He felt a sense of awe, immediately pulling his focus together. The heaven-stealing vine guarded his spiritual platform, making him feel as if he had found a needle to calm the sea amidst raging waves.

Outside the illusion, Xu Miaoyin saw Lin Feng's breathing become rapid and his eyes dazed, and a trace of pride just rose in her heart. However, she immediately saw that although the other party appeared to be struggling, his aura stabilized rapidly, and the trace of clarity in the depths of his eyes caused her heart to shake violently.

What is going on?! Her Seven Emotions Illusion Realm, which fused the temptation of love and desire, still couldn't take him down?!

Just how resilient was the other party's will? This was simply inconceivable!

Her trump card, which she was proud of and which had never failed, had almost lost its effect for the first time in front of a peer Cultivator!

Just as Xu Miaoyin had exhausted her methods to no avail, and her mind was agitated and her Dao Heart unstable, Lin Feng unexpectedly withdrew his sword and retreated.

He looked calmly at this proud daughter of Jueqing Valley before him and spoke steadily: "Fairy Xu, you and I both know that continuing to fight will only result in mutual injury. You cannot do anything to me, and I may not be able to keep you here either."

Xu Miaoyin's delicate body trembled slightly, and she bit her lower lip, not refuting him. She indeed could not do anything to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng continued: "Taking by force is not my Dao. How about we make a deal."

He flipped his wrist, and the egg-sized piece of top-grade soul condensing jade that had sparked the dispute appeared in his palm, its gentle spiritual light causing Xu Miaoyin's breath to hitch.

"I can give you this soul condensing jade, but you need to take out an equivalent top-grade spiritual material or treasure to exchange."

Xu Miaoyin's heart shook violently. Having this soul condensing jade meant she had a high probability of breaking through to the Late Core Formation Stage, which also meant she would have sufficient strength and foundation to compete for the position of future Sect Head of Jueqing Valley.

This temptation was too great. Almost without hesitation, she immediately took out a jade box emitting a chilling aura from the depths of her storage Magic Treasure.

The lid of the box opened, revealing a piece of metal the size of a fist, glowing with silver light throughout, yet emitting an incomparably sharp aura.

"This is 'star tears'," Xu Miaoyin said, her tone carrying a hint of reluctance, "I obtained it by chance at the edge of the Nine Heavens gale layer. It contains a trace of Innate sharp metal Qi and is a supreme material for refining metal-attribute or even space-attribute Magic Treasures. Its value is definitely not below your soul condensing jade."

Obviously, in her view, for the sake of the Sect Head position and her future on the Dao, this treasure she had treasured for a long time was worth the sacrifice.

Lin Feng's gaze focused. Sensing the extraordinary nature of the star tears, he was satisfied.

He acted decisively, directly handing over the entire piece of soul condensing jade.

Xu Miaoyin reached out to take the jade, feeling a pure and vast surge of Soul Power pour into her body. The Seven Emotions energy that had been restless and on the verge of backlash instantly subsided by more than half.

She was overjoyed; the hope of breaking through to the Late Core Formation Stage and competing for the Sect Head position had never been so clear.

However, at this moment, because she had obtained the soul condensing jade she had dreamed of, the Cultivation Technique within Xu Miaoyin's body operated naturally. The love and desire that had been suppressed and were the most difficult to control, stimulated by hope and relaxation, surged up like a dam bursting.

The characteristics of the "Seven Emotions Severing Self Technique" were now fully revealed. The more one desired something or someone, and the more it concerned the foundation of one's own Dao path, once touched, the resulting love and desire would become even more intense and difficult to control.

Lin Feng not only possessed the soul condensing jade she desperately needed, but also displayed strength equal to hers and unfathomable methods during the previous battle. This combination of strength and mystery happened to strike the most vulnerable link in Xu Miaoyin's Cultivation Technique.

She raised her eyes and looked at Lin Feng, who was preparing to turn and leave, her gaze involuntarily shimmering with a dazed, watery light.

Lin Feng's tall and straight figure, his calm and deep eyes, and the aura of controlling the overall situation he displayed during the trade, were filled with a fatal attraction in her eyes at this moment.

Her cheeks were burning, and a surge of indescribable heat and desire welled up from the depths of her body. An urge to get closer, and even... to possess him, was almost drowning her rationality.

"Wait... wait a moment!" Xu Miaoyin's voice unconsciously carried a hint of tenderness and tremor, a complete contrast to her previous coldness.

Lin Feng paused in his steps and looked back in confusion.

Xu Miaoyin forcibly suppressed the palpitation in her heart and the abnormality in her body. She turned her head away and said in a slightly rushed tone: "You... you remember! This soul condensing jade might only temporarily alleviate my situation! If... if my Cultivation Technique has a relapse, I... I will definitely come to find you again!"

As she spoke, her fingers within her sleeves quietly pinched a secret incantation, casting the "Love Thread Soul-Leading Technique" unique to Jueqing Valley.

This technique could use a trace of subtle emotional connection to lock onto the other party from thousands of miles away. Unless the other party suffered Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering or their cultivation was far beyond the caster by a major Realm, it would be difficult to completely shake off.

"At that time, don't think you can easily dismiss me!" These words sounded like a threat, but in reality, it was her finding a reason for her next entanglement. Deep down, she was even faintly looking forward to their reunion.

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Although he felt this woman's attitude was strange, he attributed it to the peculiarity of her Cultivation Technique and did not think deeply about it, nor did he notice the tracking secret technique that had been quietly planted.

He nodded indifferently: "If that time comes, we can talk about a trade then."

After saying this, he drove his Escaping Light and disappeared into the horizon.
