I, a centenarian, sweep through the gates of immortality.

After following Liu Qingqing and Yan Shiyuan to the inner courtyard, Lin Feng took a while to calm himself down.

As Liu Qingqing prepared the pills for Lin Feng, she said with a slightly embarrassed tone.

"Lin Feng, how did you get involved with the Hong family?"

Having lived in the Eastern Wilderness for a long time, Liu Qingqing naturally knew how powerful the Hong family was, and she would never dare to provoke them under normal circumstances.

But he didn't expect that Lin Feng had only been in the Eastern Wilderness for a few days, yet he had already provoked the Hong family to make a big fuss, seemingly determined to fight to the death, which was truly astonishing.

Lin Feng did not hide anything and told the whole story about his plan to rebuild his physical body and the fact that he killed several members of the Hong family as a result.

After hearing this, Liu Qingqing remained silent for a moment, her eyes filled with heartache as she looked at Lin Feng.

"You haven't been cultivating for very long, yet you've endured so much suffering, even your physical body has shattered."

Lin Feng shrugged, seemingly unconcerned.

"The path to immortality is arduous, especially for someone like me who is a hundred years old and cultivating. Naturally, it is much more difficult for me than for you."

"Fortunately, I'm quite lucky; I've already gathered all the materials needed to reshape my physical body."

Liu Qingqing's expression was full of worry; clearly, she did not think that Lin Feng reshaping his physical body would be a good thing.

In his view, Lin Feng had offended the Hong family. If this matter was not properly resolved, even if Lin Feng reconstructed his physical body, he would still be unable to escape the Hong family's pursuit and would probably still die.

Moreover, the Hong family has already recorded Lin Feng's aura. Even if Lin Feng reconstructs his physical body, he will probably still be targeted by the Hong family, so it's pointless.

The most urgent task at hand is to resolve the Hong family's affairs.

However, the Hong family wields immense power in the Eastern Wilderness, and all the major sects give them face. Even if Liu Qingqing's master were alive, it would be difficult for him to plead on her behalf, let alone the fact that Liu Qingqing has already fallen out with her own sect, and Lin Feng is an outsider.

After much thought, Liu Qingqing felt that the only solution was to send Lin Feng away.

Liu Qingqing looked at Lin Feng and sighed.

"Although they have sealed off the Eastern Wilderness, I am very familiar with the sealing formation they used. I can find a way to send you out."

"We can discuss the matter of reshaping your physical body after you leave the Eastern Wilderness."

"Liu Qingqing's arrangement has its reasons," Lin Feng said after a moment of silence.

"Just what kind of power does the Hong family possess?"

"In other regions, sects are far superior to families, so why does the Hong family possess such formidable power in the Eastern Wilderness? How does the Hong family ensure the continuation of their power?"

Liu Qingqing frowned and explained.

"The Hong family has mastered a secret technique that allows them to pass on their cultivation to their descendants, which has led to their accumulated strength far surpassing that of other sects."

"As for how this secret technique works, it is an absolute secret of the Hong family, and outsiders do not know it."

"All the major sects are very interested in the Hong family's secret techniques, but they have no way of understanding them."

Lin Feng thought for a moment, then continued to ask.

"Given the Hong family's formidable capabilities, why has their influence never extended beyond the Eastern Wilderness?"

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Liu Qingqing suddenly realized that the Hong family's secret technique might be related to the Eastern Wilderness. Or perhaps their strength could only be effective in the Eastern Wilderness.

"You mean the Hong family's secret techniques can only be used in the Eastern Wilderness?"

Lin Feng nodded; that was exactly what he meant.

The reason why the Hong family acted so frantically, even completely sealing off the entire Eastern Wilderness, was ostensibly to prevent Lin Feng from escaping. However, in reality, it was most likely because their strength was only effective within the Eastern Wilderness.

Lin Feng had never heard of this kind of technique, which could only be effective in a certain region, and even Liu Qingqing had never heard of it.

However, Lin Feng was able to guess the principle behind their formation.

They must have taken advantage of the dragon vein in the Eastern Wilderness to some extent. If Lin Feng can sever the dragon vein, he should be able to verify this.

He turned to Liu Qingqing and said.

"Where is the Hong family's ancestral home? Could you take me there?"

Liu Qingqing frowned and decisively rejected Lin Feng's request.

"Absolutely not! The Hong family is after you. If you go to their ancestral home, you're dead."

Liu Qingqing was able to rescue Lin Feng this time entirely because of the unexpected information gap. Next time, the Hong family will not give Liu Qingqing such an opportunity again.

Lin Feng naturally understood the danger Liu Qingqing mentioned, but for Lin Feng, if he didn't figure out the source of the Hong family's power, he would probably never have a peaceful day.

Taking some risks now is worthwhile for the sake of the future.

Lin Feng urged him firmly.

"I don't want to hide in the gutter for the rest of my life, and I don't want to be hunted down by the Hong family forever."

"Take me with you, maybe there will be a chance."

Liu Qingqing understands Lin Feng's personality and knows that once Lin Feng has made up his mind, no one can change it, so she can only helplessly accept it.

"Okay, I'll take you there now."

Without further hesitation, Liu Qingqing pulled Lin Feng along, and the two concealed their presence, leaving their own mountain gate and heading straight for the Hong family's ancestral land.

Along the way, there were still many cultivators chasing Lin Feng, but with Liu Qingqing's help, no one discovered Lin Feng, and the two arrived at the Hong family's ancestral land smoothly.

Looking at the situation at the Hong family's ancestral land, Lin Feng's earlier judgment was confirmed.

The Hong family's ancestral home is located at the confluence of three rivers, not an ordinary blessed land, but rather the place where three dragon veins meet.

Such places have mixed and chaotic spiritual energy from the dragon veins, which is extremely unfavorable for the cultivation of ordinary people.

Yet the Hong family still chose this place as their ancestral home, which shows that this was exactly the effect they wanted.

All the secrets of the Hong family should be hidden deep within this underground dragon vein.

Having figured this out, Lin Feng pointed to the mountains and rivers beside him and said.

"I'm going to go and take a look at the underground dragon veins."

"Going deep into the dragon vein might reveal the root of the Hong family's problems."

Liu Qingqing was stunned when she heard Lin Feng's words.

Venturing deep into the dragon veins—what's the difference between that and courting death?

The spiritual pressure deep within the dragon vein is something that an ordinary physical body simply cannot withstand. Even if Lin Feng were in his original body, he would absolutely not be able to resist it, let alone the fact that his current body is one that he has taken over, and its strength is far inferior to that of his original body.

In this situation, venturing deep into the dragon vein is tantamount to courting death.

She quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Lin Feng, you absolutely mustn't!"

"Deep within the dragon vein, the spiritual energy is mixed and the spiritual pressure is extremely strong. You can't withstand it. You should come back with me, and I'll find a way to send you away."

Liu Qingqing was unwilling to take the risk, but Lin Feng said with a determined look on his face.

"How will you know I can't handle it if you don't try?"
