159: Chapter 159 A Huge Good Thing

Chapter 159: Something Happened

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed!

Through his efforts during this period, Lin Feng finally successfully advanced, stepping into the Middle Stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Moreover, he had also successfully Cultivated the Soul-Corroding Curse Scripture to the Entry Level!

Lin Feng quietly glanced at his martial dao panel!

[Host: Lin Feng. (Possesses one External Incarnation)

Realm: Divine Transformation Realm Middle Stage (Extreme Realm)

Cultivation Technique: Stance Training, Perfection

World-Destroying Sword Art (Incomplete), 600 / 80000 (Perfection)

Invincible Golden Body (Incomplete, only the first three layers), 40000 / 40000, (Proficient, third layer Peak)

Soul-Corroding Curse Scripture, 900 / 10000 (Entry Level)

...

Sword Intent, 860 / 8000 (Proficient)]

Having successfully advanced, his combat power had skyrocketed!

Now, Lin Feng could definitely defeat three or four of his former self with ease!

However, three days had already passed!

Pavilion Master Ji Linger still hadn't appeared!

"Didn't Linger say she would return to Qingyun County after three days? Why hasn't she come to find me yet?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly and muttered to himself!

During these three days, Pavilion Master Ji Linger seemed to have vanished into thin air; she hadn't come to see him even once.

"Could it be that something happened?"

Lin Feng stood up abruptly, preparing to leave the room!

He intended to find Pavilion Master Ji Linger to see if something had happened to her.

Knock, knock, knock...

Just then, a series of knocks suddenly came from outside!

Lin Feng quickly took a step forward and opened the door!

Upon looking, his expression couldn't help but change slightly!

Pavilion Master Ji Linger was standing at the door.

However, her state was extremely wrong at this moment; she looked very haggard.

Furthermore, her pretty face was slightly pale, as if she had been injured.

"Linger, why are you injured?"

Lin Feng asked with concern.

"Cough, cough... I'm fine, just a small accident!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger coughed twice, forcing a smile.

Yet, that smile was uglier than crying.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Lin Feng pressed again!

"Really, it's nothing, Brother Lin, you don't need to worry!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger shook her head and replied casually!

This matter was quite significant.

Even if she told him, Lin Feng wouldn't be able to help, and it would only make him worry.

"Alright!" Seeing that she refused to speak, Lin Feng didn't press further.

Immediately, he changed the subject, "Linger, didn't you say last time that you would set off to return to Qingyun County after three days? It's already the fourth day now!"

"I'm sorry, Brother Lin!" Hearing this, Pavilion Master Ji Linger's eyes revealed deep guilt as she murmured in reply, "Something bad happened to my Family during this time, so I have to stay for a few more days!"

"Then how much longer do you have to stay?" Lin Feng asked!

"I'm not sure!" Pavilion Master Ji Linger shook her head, "Maybe two or three days, or maybe ten days to half a month, I can't be certain about this!"

"Alright then!" Lin Feng smiled helplessly!

He could have taken Hall Master Su Tongtian and the others and left!

However, he was worried that if he left, Pavilion Master Ji Linger might encounter danger when returning to Qingyun County.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng decided to stay for a few more days!

He would return with Linger when the time came.

Besides, staying here, his Cultivation speed was extremely fast!

He could take this opportunity to Cultivate the Soul-Corroding Curse Scripture to a higher level!

"Brother Lin, just stay here and Cultivate with peace of mind during this period! If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to find the steward of this guest courtyard! I have matters to attend to, I'll take my leave first!"

Pavilion Master Ji Linger left after dropping that sentence.

Watching her retreating figure, Lin Feng fell into deep thought!

There was no need to ask; the Ji Family must have had something happen.

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Feng strode toward the place where the steward lived.

The steward responsible for this guest courtyard was named Ji Buwei.

He was a collateral clansman of the Ji Family!

When Lin Feng arrived!

Ji Buwei was hugging a pretty-looking maid, pawing at her.

The maid was enjoying it while putting up a feigned resistance.

"Cough, cough..." Lin Feng stood at the doorway and coughed lightly!

"Ah?" The maid was startled!

She looked back, discovered Lin Feng standing at the door, and quickly broke free from Ji Buwei's embrace in shyness, covering her face as she fled.

"Young Master Lin, you've come?" Ji Buwei was stunned at first, then beamed with smiles and came to greet him.

"May I ask what you need from me?"

This guy was thick-skinned enough.

He seemed completely unbothered by what had just happened!

"I'm asking you, has something happened to the Ji Family?" Lin Feng asked straight to the point.

"Ah? How did you know, Young Master Lin?" Ji Buwei was stunned upon hearing this.

"You don't need to worry about how I know, just tell me!" Lin Feng said loudly!

"Um, please sit, Young Master Lin, and listen to me slowly!" Ji Buwei nodded!

He quickly helped Lin Feng pour a cup of tea.

After Lin Feng sat down, he picked up the teacup and took a sip!

Then he looked up at Ji Buwei!

Ji Buwei deliberated on his words and began to explain slowly.

"Young Master Lin, to tell you the truth, a major event has indeed happened to the Ji Family during this period! Some time ago, my Ji Family and the Lu Family discovered a priceless Purple Gold Mine in the Ziyun Mountain outside the city at the same time. To fight for the final ownership of this Purple Gold Mine, we didn't hesitate to break into a big fight! During this, both major Families lost quite a few experts! Even Young Miss Pavilion Master Ji Linger's father, Fifth Master Ji, was seriously injured in this great battle..."

"A Purple Gold Mine?" Lin Feng was also shocked upon hearing this!

Although he had never seen a Purple Gold Mine, he had heard rumors about it!

It was said that the Purple Gold Mine was the main Material for refining Spiritual Artifacts above the Earth Rank!

Even Heaven Rank Spirit Treasures required it.

Therefore, this Purple Gold Mine could be said to be priceless!

A piece of purple gold the size of a fist could be sold for one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

Now, the Ji Family had actually found a Purple Gold Mine!

Its value was absolutely immeasurable.

"You mean, during this time, the Ji Family has been fighting a decisive battle with the Lu Family to compete for the ownership of the Purple Gold Mine?" Lin Feng took a deep breath and asked loudly!

"Yes!" Ji Buwei nodded, his expression grave, "Although my Ji Family is the number one major Family in Qinghe Prefecture, the Lu Family is not weak either, ranking second in overall strength! So for a time, the two major Families fought tooth and nail to compete for the ownership of that Purple Gold Mine! Both families have suffered heavy casualties!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng's face darkened!

No wonder Pavilion Master Ji Linger came and went in a hurry and was even injured.

It turned out it was to help the Family fight for the Purple Gold Mine.

At the same time, he also understood why Pavilion Master Ji Linger refused to tell him!

Because the matter was too big, even if she told him, it would be of no avail.

"Alright, I understand, thank you for telling me!"

Lin Feng left after dropping that sentence.

Returning to his residence!

Lin Feng began his closed-door Cultivation again!

This time, he mainly Cultivated the Soul-Corroding Curse Scripture.

Whoosh, whoosh...

As the Cultivation Technique circulated, strands of strange Qi from heaven and earth poured into Lin Feng's body continuously like a rushing river!

These strange Qi were precisely resentment and Evil Qi.

Wherever there are people, there are conflicts!

And where there are conflicts, there is naturally no lack of resentment and Evil Qi.

On the martial dao panel!

The progress bar of the Soul-Corroding Curse Scripture began to climb rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Time passed day by day!

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed.

Thus, Lin Feng finally successfully Cultivated the Soul-Corroding Curse Scripture to the Proficient level!

Soul-Corroding Curse Scripture, 1900 / 40000 (Proficient).

With a single thought, one could curse and kill an enemy from afar.

...

Knock, knock, knock...

On this day, at dawn!

A series of urgent knocks suddenly came from outside the door!

Lin Feng opened his eyes abruptly and jumped off the bed.

He opened the door, and saw Pavilion Master Ji Linger in a white dress standing at the door with a beaming smile!

"Linger..." Lin Feng greeted with a smile!

However.

Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, Pavilion Master Ji Linger had already grabbed Lin Feng's arm, pulling him and striding outward!

"Brother Lin, hurry, come with me!"

"Where to?" Lin Feng asked suspiciously!

"Haha, a huge piece of good news, you'll know when we get there!"

After Pavilion Master Ji Linger finished speaking, she suddenly quickened her pace.
