Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"this...!"

Upon hearing Zhang Miaoling suddenly bring up Leng Ying, Lu Feng panicked and hurriedly explained, "Senior Zhang, I did indeed meet Miss Leng once before, but it wasn't what you're imagining. It's all a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstand?"

"I don't think so!"

Ren Xuanfei stepped forward, her face flushed with anger, and said, "If Sister Miaoling hadn't brought this up, I would have almost forgotten that during the academy competition, Xu Tianlong clearly intended to kill you, but in the end, that wild girl named Leng Ying stopped him...!"

"Lu Feng, I don't think this is a misunderstanding. That wild girl probably has feelings for you, right?"

Ren Xuanfei's tone was aggressive, her beautiful eyes wide open, like a little girl whose beloved toy had been snatched away, urgently needing an explanation.

"Miss Ren, although we had some past acquaintances, Miss Leng is also my friend. Please don't slander Miss Leng like this. Consider it my humble request."

Seeing Ren Xuanfei suddenly slander Leng Ying, Lu Feng frowned slightly, but in the end he did not react, only admonishing her in a deep voice.

After all, Ren Xuanfei's relationship with him was somewhat special, not as simple as ordinary friends, so Lu Feng didn't want to hurt her feelings at the moment and could only offer kind words of advice.

"Lu Feng, why are you still speaking up for that wild girl? Haven't I been good to you? Back in the underground tomb palace at the Zhongwang Tomb ruins, I even lost my virginity..."

At this point, Ren Xuanfei suddenly paused, then her pretty face flushed red, as if she realized something. She quickly changed her words and said, "Could it be that you've also fallen for that wild girl named Leng Ying?"

"Ren Xuanfei, haven't you made enough of a scene?"

"I've already said that this was just a misunderstanding."

Seeing that the other party was still being unreasonable, Lu Feng's patience was also exhausted, and he blurted out the answer subconsciously.

"You, Lu Feng! You, you, you actually dared to yell at me...!"

Seeing Lu Feng publicly reprimand her, Consort Ren's eyes welled up with tears, her face full of grievance. Her lips trembled slightly. "Even Father and my brother have never yelled at me. How could you do this for a wild girl... Waaah!"

"Lu Feng, I never want to see you again!"

After saying that, Ren Xuanfei didn't give Lu Feng a chance to explain and immediately turned around and left without looking back.

"What the hell is this?!"

"Women are such troublesome creatures...!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng felt utterly overwhelmed.

"Hehe, young master Lu, don't worry too much. Princess Luochuan has been pampered since childhood and sometimes she likes to be a little temperamental. Since this is a misunderstanding, I will explain it to you in a moment. I'm sure the princess won't really hold a grudge."

Beside her, Zhang Miaoling slowly stepped forward, a playful smile still lingering on her lips.

Despite Zhang Miaoling's words of comfort, Lu Feng was inwardly furious. "Damn it! This vixen is quite good at pretending to be innocent...!"

After all, it was Zhang Miaoling who started this topic, and now she's pretending to be innocent. She's truly a top-notch green tea!

If it weren't for his fear of Zhang Miaoling's strength and status, Lu Feng would have already pinned her to the ground and given her a good beating!

"Young Master Lu, Princess Luochuan's coming-of-age ceremony will be held in about a month, at the Luochuan County Government in Dongyun Capital. If you really intend to attend, you should pay attention to the time so as not to be late."

Seeing Lu Feng remain silent and look aggrieved, Zhang Miaoling smiled again, then turned and left on the wind.

"A month from now... Oh well! I'll explain it to that girl slowly then..."

Watching Zhang Miaoling's graceful figure disappear into the distance, Lu Feng sighed helplessly and then shook his head.

Although Ren Xuanfei had just declared that she would break up with him, women's words are usually three parts truth and seven parts falsehood. Moreover, Zhang Miaoling was there to explain, so Lu Feng wasn't too worried that she would really ignore him.

After seeing Ren Xuanfei and the others off, Lu Feng did not slack off at his residence, but instead focused on his secluded cultivation.

After all, the Starfall Secret Realm will officially open in about six months, and although Lu Feng has only recently entered the Southern Academy and is not an elite of the Eastern Academy, he already has the strength and conditions to enter the Starfall Secret Realm.

Therefore, in order to escape the Starfall Secret Realm unscathed and to guard against Xu Tianlong's retaliation, Lu Feng dared not slack off in his cultivation.

...

Before we knew it, half a month had passed.

Mercury Peak, deep in a bamboo forest

"break!"

With a loud shout, the next moment Yuan Power surged forth, instantly transforming into a large amount of air waves that spread outwards. At the same time, a huge, bottomless palm print was left on the flat open space in the middle of the bamboo forest, with golden clouds faintly visible rising up, like scorching flames!

"The power of this palm strike is comparable to a true Xuan-grade martial art!"

"As expected of the strongest killing move that can only be comprehended by cultivating the tenth level of the Gara Nirvana Sutra—the Gara Eight Spirit Seals!"

As the surrounding air currents gradually dissipated, a gray-robed figure slowly descended from the sky. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face; it was none other than Lu Feng, who had been in seclusion for a long time.

"Again!"

Taking a deep breath, Lu Feng's inner dantian energy surged out once again, instantly transforming into eight giant hands with skin as golden as clouds and an imposing aura that appeared behind him. He seemed to be possessed by Venerable Gara, raising his hand and slamming it towards the bamboo forest opposite.

Rumble!

Eight giant hands of Yuan Power swept out, as if they had been given intelligence. With a single sweep, they leveled the bamboo forest within a radius of several hundred meters, leaving behind a mess and a series of loud booming sounds!

"Although I have cultivated the Nirvana Sutra of Gara to the tenth level of perfection, with my current strength and cultivation, I am still unable to fully unleash the power of the Eight Spirit Seals of Gara. It seems I can only plan for the long term...!"

Lu Feng stood up again, slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air. At the same time, he slowly dissipated the eight giant Yuan Power hands behind him, which were as imposing as rainbows and as golden as clouds. At this moment, his face was thoughtful.

After nearly half a month of cultivation, he not only broke through the tenth level of the Nirvana Sutra of Gara and comprehended the strongest killing move "Gara Eight Spirit Seals", but also made great progress in his Yuan Power cultivation and soul power, respectively stepping into the third level of the Spirit Soul Realm and the fifth level of the Soul Power Realm!

"Spiritual Soul Realm, Level Three; Soul Power, Level Five!"

"Both my Yuan Power cultivation and soul power have improved; it seems that's about it..."

Lu Feng himself was very satisfied with the results of his seclusion during this period.

After all, not only did his Yuan Power cultivation successfully break through to the third level of the Spirit Soul Realm, but his Soul Power also broke through to the fifth level of the Soul Power Realm in one fell swoop, making him comparable to a true fifth-grade alchemist. His strength has increased dramatically!

It's important to understand that soul power is different from elemental power cultivation.

For ordinary martial artists to improve their soul power, it not only requires a lot of cultivation resources and time, but also puts their talent and comprehension to the test. Almost every breakthrough in soul power is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Otherwise, the profession of alchemist would not be so popular in the Misty Continent, and would not be treated as an honored guest by many forces on the continent.

As for why Lu Feng was able to break through to the fifth level of soul power in just half a month, it was not because he had a cheat code, but entirely due to the help of the replenishing food!

Li Dazui once gave him a nourishing food that could enhance his Yuan Power cultivation and soul power. After being nurtured by the Treasure Basin these past few days, the quantity of the nourishing food has increased sixfold!

Although Lu Feng's soul power realm was only at the third level at first, after eating six whole replenishing foods, even an ordinary mortal could have suddenly realized the truth and ascended to heaven, let alone the former!

"A nourishing food, indeed a wonderful thing! It's a pity Elder Li Dazui only gave me one such nourishing food. If I had received more, perhaps the Treasure Basin could have cultivated even more, and I would have been absolutely ecstatic!"

After loosening his muscles and bones, Lu Feng's face showed a hint of emotion, as if he was still somewhat unsatisfied.
