Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The moment the treasure basin reappeared, a large amount of low-grade spirit stones poured out from it, like a surging, endless river, instantly engulfing Lu Feng and filling the entire VIP room to the brim!

"So many gemstones...!"

"This number is probably more than ten million...!"

As he swam through the ocean of Yuan Stones, Lu Feng could not hide his joy and was extremely excited.

Right now, in addition to the surge in the number of spirit stones, the number of meridian opening pills he had previously thrown into the treasure basin has also increased dramatically, from one to six, almost a six-fold increase!

hum!

Just as Lu Feng was immersed in the joy of the harvest, the treasure basin next to him suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light, and then expanded several times in size, instantly transforming into a bronze ancient cauldron the size of a millstone.

Moreover, the obscure and strange patterns on the surface of the treasure basin have become much clearer, and now they are also shimmering with a faint golden light, while radiating a mysterious aura, as if they have undergone a rebirth.

"The power of the treasure bowl has evolved too?!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng was both surprised and delighted.

Although he didn't know what changes had occurred to the Treasure Basin, his body had already become one with it, and as the power of the Treasure Basin continued to recover, Lu Feng would naturally become aware of it.

"receive!"

Composing himself, Lu Feng raised his hand and summoned the treasure basin, which had transformed into the shape of an ancient bronze cauldron, into his palm.

"Huh? What's this...!"

However, as soon as Lu Feng got his hands on the treasure basin, he felt a sharp, piercing pain suddenly strike him, as if his right palm was being suppressed by thousands of mountains, and his expression changed drastically.

Bang!

Lu Feng quickly dodged to the side, and the bronze cauldron that the treasure basin had transformed into crashed heavily to the ground with a loud thud, scattering the mountain of low-grade spirit stones that were piled up beside him.

"It's so heavy! What's going on...?"

Lu Feng's brows were furrowed, and his right wrist was slightly bent, showing a purplish-red color, indicating that his injury was not serious.

Just now, the weight of the treasure basin suddenly increased several thousand times, as if thousands of mountains had been contained within it. If Lu Feng hadn't stopped in time, his right hand would most likely have been crippled on the spot!

"Could it be that with the restoration of the Treasure Bowl's power, it has awakened a new special ability...?"

Seemingly remembering something, Lu Feng stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

"Forget it! Let's wait until the ancient one awakens before we talk about it...!"

After thinking for a while, Lu Feng still couldn't figure out the changes and new abilities of the Treasure Basin, so he had no choice but to give up and put the Treasure Basin back into the depths of his dantian.

Although he couldn't lift the massive treasure basin for the time being, putting it back into his dantian was no problem.

In addition, with the restoration of the power of the Treasure Bowl, its "accumulating little by little" effect has jumped from 4.5 times to 6 times, which is a huge change!

"Six Meridian Opening Pills, plus over ten million low-grade spirit stones—I wonder to what extent they can raise my spirit power cultivation...!"

"Let's begin...!"

Sitting cross-legged in the center of the room, gazing at the mountains of low-grade spirit stones around him, Lu Feng took a deep breath, then raised his hand and put six Opening Meridian Profound Yuan Pills into his mouth. At the same time, he circulated the Panlong Breathing Technique to begin refining the pure medicinal power within.

"That feels so good...!"

"Such pure medicinal power, truly worthy of being a near-rank six pill...!"

As Lu Feng swallowed the Opening Meridian Profound Origin Pill, he felt a sudden burning pain in his lower abdomen. He felt as if he were in a fire pit, and his whole body was burning hot, which was both pleasurable and exciting!

Although the Opening Meridian Profound Origin Pills were extremely precious, each one worth at least a million yuan stones, Lu Feng didn't feel the slightest bit heartache. He ate them all up without leaving a single one behind.

After all, strength is the only trump card to change one's destiny, and everything else is just fluff!

For Lu Feng, whether it's fulfilling the ten-year promise, snatching his fiancée Ye Yun back from the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, or finding Lin Xiaoyu who left without saying goodbye, all of this requires strong strength as support.

Therefore, Lu Feng cannot stand still; he needs to become stronger in order to protect everything he loves!

...

Meanwhile, in the Yellow Wind Desert, the old stronghold of Qingtianzhai...

Swish!

Jiang Qingtian sat upright in the main seat of the council hall with his eyes closed, seemingly resting. Then, a stumbling, disheveled figure suddenly rushed into the hall. He was covered in blood and looked panicked, like a frightened bird.

"Big brother...!"

The disheveled figure collapsed to his knees with a thud, his head drooping as if he dared not look directly at Jiang Qingtian. Only the scar below his right eye was clearly visible, revealing him to be none other than Qin Ming, the former second-in-command of Qingtian Village.

"Second brother?"

Seeing Qin Ming burst into the hall looking utterly disoriented, covered in blood and in a disheveled state, Jiang Qingtian frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"Brother, I... I'm so sorry...!"

Qin Ming gritted his teeth, then said with a look of resentment, "The assassination plan failed...!"

"That bastard named Lu Feng isn't as simple as he seems. Not only has he concealed his true strength and cultivation, but he also saw through our ambush and tricked us...!"

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingtian's expression darkened. "If what you say is true, then the other brothers must already be..."

He once sent Qin Ming and a group of his brothers away from the stronghold to seek revenge, but now only the former has returned, which is enough to show that the other bandits of Qingtian Village are probably doomed.

"Brother! You must avenge me and my brothers!"

Seemingly driven by a burning desire for revenge, Qin Ming kowtowed deeply to Jiang Qingtian once more, then said with a face full of grief and indignation, "That Lu Feng is not only arrogant, but he has also repeatedly uttered wild words, showing absolutely no respect for you or Qingtian Village...!"

"Leaving aside the blood feud between our third brother and all our fallen comrades, for the sake of Qingtian Village's reputation and honor, we absolutely cannot let this brat go easily!"

"Good! Very good....! This bastard has guts!"

Hearing this, Jiang Qingtian didn't get angry but laughed instead. His gaze returned to Qin Ming, who was kneeling below. "Second brother, go back and recover from your injuries. Once we've dealt with the Kong family in Zhiyang City, I will personally sever that bastard Lu Feng's head to appease the spirits of my third brother and all the fallen brothers!"

"The Kong family of Zhiyang City?"

After saying that, Qin Ming seemed to remember something, and his face showed a slight surprise. "Big brother, could it be that Kong Dingnan has sent some new information again?"

"That's right."

Jiang Qingtian nodded slightly, then stood with his hands behind his back and said, "According to the latest intelligence from Kong Dingnan, the Kong siblings who were robbed by our third brother have returned to Zhiyang City and are investigating the robbery."

"Heh, Kong Dingnan is afraid his identity as a mole will be exposed, so he sent someone to inform us, planning to act ahead of schedule...!"

"I see...!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming nodded repeatedly, then cupped his hands in a respectful bow, "Congratulations, elder brother! I've heard that the Kong family patriarch has been in seclusion for many days without making a sound, and his fate is likely unknown, with the odds against him!"

"If we join forces with that guy Kong Dingnan and launch a coordinated attack from within, we can wipe out the entire Kong family and completely annex them!"

"That's right! We can deal with Lu Feng slowly after we've dealt with the Kong family in Zhiyang City..."

Jiang Qingtian remained calm, as if victory was already assured.

...

On the other side, Dongyun Capital

"Break through...!"

Inside a VIP room in the arena, Lu Feng roared, and the next moment his hands clasped together in a palm-like gesture. Then, an extremely powerful and boundless surge of energy swept out from the depths of his dantian, enveloping the entire room.

boom!

Click...!

With a deafening roar, the entire VIP room began to shake violently, as if it might collapse at any moment. The small soundproof array around the room was instantly shattered!

It is evident that the commotion caused by Lu Feng's breakthrough in cultivation this time is no less than that of a nuclear bomb sweeping the ground!

"Seventh level of the Meridian Opening Realm!"

"It seems that's all there is to it...!"

Standing still after finishing his practice, Lu Feng clenched his fists tightly while feeling the incredibly powerful new energy within his body, a hint of regret showing on his face.

After absorbing six full Meridian Opening Profound Origin Pills and nearly ten million low-grade Yuan Stones, his Yuan Power cultivation not only broke through smoothly, but also crossed three realms in one fell swoop, stepping into the seventh level of the Meridian Opening Realm!

Even so, Lu Feng still felt a little regretful.

Because after his marrow was cleansed by the Treasure Basin, his dantian capacity was several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary martial artists of the same level. Therefore, the amount of spirit stones and pills required for each breakthrough also increased exponentially, making him a veritable monster!

If it were an ordinary martial artist of the same level, after absorbing so many Qi-opening pills and low-grade spirit stones, they would at least be able to break through to the tenth level of the Qi-opening realm, and it wouldn't be impossible for them to even step into the Spirit Soul realm with one foot in it!
