After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Before long, he arrived at a courtyard.

The courtyard gate was ajar, and voices could be faintly heard from inside. Lin Fengmian raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened from the inside, and a young man dressed in a blue Taoist robe came out.

The young man appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a dignified face, gentle demeanor, and an aura of composure emanating from him.

Upon seeing Lin Fengmian, his face immediately lit up with a smile, and he warmly greeted him:

"This must be Junior Brother Lin, right? I'm the senior brother who was responsible for meeting you. My name is Zhao Tian. You can just call me Senior Brother Zhao."

Late foundation building!

Lin Fengmian was slightly startled, but remained calm on the surface, bowing respectfully and saying, "So it's Senior Brother Zhao Tian. Junior Brother Lin Fengmian, thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother."

He had some doubts.

As a new disciple who had just entered the inner sect, the other party actually sent a late Foundation Establishment cultivator to meet me.

That's giving them way too much face!

Could it be because of the Supreme Elder?

Or is there... something he doesn't know about?

Lin Fengmian's mind raced, but he maintained a polite smile on his face.

"Junior Brother Lin, you're too kind," Zhao Tian said with a smile, waving his hand in a very amiable manner. "Junior Brother, please follow me. Your cave dwelling has been arranged; it's not far up here."

With that, he turned and led the way.

Lin Fengmian quickly followed.

The two walked up the stone steps, through a bamboo grove, and across a small stone bridge, finally stopping in front of a cave.

"Junior Brother Lin, this is your cave dwelling."

Zhao Tian pointed to the cave dwelling in front of him, his tone tinged with envy.

Lin Fengmian looked up and was completely stunned.

The cave dwelling was built against the mountain, with two white jade pillars standing at the entrance. The pillars were carved with exquisite spiritual patterns, and a faint spiritual light flowed around them. The cave entrance was carved from a single piece of green jade, smooth as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding green bamboo and blue sky.

Above the cave dwelling hangs a plaque with the three large characters "Tingzhuju" (Listening to Bamboo Residence), written in vigorous strokes, conveying a profound and distant artistic conception.

What shocked Lin Fengmian the most was the spiritual energy emanating from the cave!

The spiritual energy was so dense that it almost solidified, seeping out from the cracks in the cave entrance in wisps, turning into a light mist in the air. Taking a deep breath made one feel completely refreshed.

"This...this is my cave dwelling?"

Lin Fengmian's eyes widened in disbelief.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Tian couldn't help but laugh: "That's right, it's yours. Junior Brother Lin, you don't know, Tingzhu Residence is one of the top cave dwellings on Xuezhu Peak. Several senior brothers wanted to apply before, but they were all rejected by the peak master. I didn't expect it to fall to you in the end."

As he spoke, he took out a jade tube from his robes and handed it to Lin Fengmian: "Here, this is the jade tube containing the cave's protective seal. You can use this to open the seal, and once inside, you can reset it yourself."

Lin Fengmian took the jade tube. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, with several small runes engraved on it, faintly radiating spiritual light.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao."

"No need to thank me, it's just my duty," Zhao Tian waved his hand and smiled.

"Alright, junior brother, I still have some things to take care of, so I won't stay any longer. You can go in by yourself. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I live at 'Qingyun Residence' halfway up the mountain."

"Take care, senior brother."

Lin Fengmian bowed and saw them off.

Zhao Tian nodded, and with a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

After watching him leave, Lin Fengmian turned around and looked at the cave dwelling in front of him.

He took a deep breath and held the jade tube close to the cave entrance.

"Buzz—"

With a soft sound, the jade tube shone brightly, and a beam of spiritual light shot out from the jade tube and entered the cave entrance.

The next moment, the jade-carved doorway slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.

Lin Fengmian stepped inside.

Upon entering the cave, he was once again shaken.

The spiritual energy inside the cave is several times denser than outside!

The spiritual energy was so dense that it almost turned into a mist, slowly drifting through the cave. If you reached out and grabbed it, you could feel a damp coolness in your palm.

Lin Fengmian looked around.

The cave dwelling was not large, but it was decorated with great elegance.

The entrance is a small reception room with a stone table and chairs, and an exquisite tea set on the table.

Behind the reception room is a cultivation room. In the center of the cultivation room is a futon, and beneath the futon is a spirit-gathering array that is continuously drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.

On either side of the cultivation room was a small room. One of them was a bedroom, containing a stone bed covered with soft animal hides.

The other room was a storage room, which was empty and clearly intended for the disciples' own use.

Lin Fengmian stood in the cultivation room, feeling the spiritual energy that was almost solidified, and was deeply shocked.

This is...this is built on a major spiritual vein of Snow Bamboo Peak!

No wonder the spiritual energy is so abundant!

While overjoyed, Lin Fengmian also became increasingly vigilant.

What was that old woman after that wonderful cave dwelling she arranged for herself?

It's definitely going to possess my body!

They want to fatten themselves up before slaughtering them!

Lin Fengmian gritted his teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Who cares!

Lin Fengmian was never one to surrender easily.

Since there is no way to resist now, the only option is to increase one's strength as much as possible.

Once you become strong enough, even if your opponent is a Nascent Soul cultivator, you might still have a chance of survival!

He took a deep breath, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, walked into the meditation room, and sat down cross-legged on the futon.

A thought arises—

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.

……

Frozen Cave Heaven.

White mist swirled, and spiritual energy surged like a tide.

Lin Fengmian's figure flashed and he appeared under that strange willow tree.

He sat cross-legged, preparing to take out the jade tube the woman had given him and study it.

however

The other jade tube in the storage bag emitted a series of buzzing sounds.

Lin Fengmian raised an eyebrow and looked over; it was his father's Starfall Sword Formation.

As soon as his consciousness entered the jade tube, the jade tube suddenly emitted a buzzing sound!

Lin Fengmian was startled and quickly calmed himself down.

The next moment, a vast and boundless stream of information surged into his mind like a tidal wave!

That is……

A new martial art?

No, it's not a cultivation technique, it's a supernatural power!

Accompanying supernatural power!

Lin Fengmian once read in an ancient book that some extremely high-grade cultivation techniques would continuously unlock new supernatural abilities as the cultivator's cultivation level improved.

These supernatural abilities and cultivation techniques are inherited from each other, complement each other, and their power far exceeds that of ordinary supernatural abilities.

But he never expected that his father's "Starfall Sword Manual" would also have this characteristic!

He calmed his mind and carefully studied the information that had flooded into his consciousness.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, a flash of understanding appearing in them.
