Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Harmony between humanity and nature?"

"The realm of enlightenment?"

Lu Feng still looked bewildered, seemingly not understanding what Gu Canyang meant.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that although Liu Lanyu on the other side had coughed up blood and fallen to the ground with a pale face, her Yuan energy was still strong, and there was even a faint sign that she was about to break through again!

"Elder Liu's Yuan energy aura is becoming increasingly powerful...!"

Seeing this, Lu Feng was even more surprised and immediately asked Gu Canyang, "Old Gu, what exactly is going on...?"

After all, he had only been on the path of cultivation for four or five years, and his experience and knowledge of cultivation were far inferior to that of Gu Canyang, an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

As for the strange things happening to Liu Lanyu, Lu Feng had never seen anything like it before!

"The Way is nothing more than the direction of the heart, driven by one's own convictions."

Gu Canyang's voice came slowly in my ears again, his tone somewhat meaningful, "Because of her appearance, this woman was obsessed with it in the past. Now, she has been stimulated by external forces, and has fallen into self-denial, as if she has gone mad."

"However, your words just now seem to have awakened this woman, causing her mind to relax, her obsessions to dissipate, and ultimately allowing her to enter the enlightened state of oneness with heaven and man..."

"Furthermore, once enlightenment is achieved, not only will the enlightened person's mental state become increasingly strong and unyielding, but their Yuan Power cultivation will also surge, as if they have been reborn!"

"I see...!"

Gu Canyang explained slowly and deliberately, while Lu Feng became more and more surprised as he listened, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"So it was my words just now that dispelled Elder Liu's obsession..."

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Because, in his personal impression, Liu Lanyu had always been a female knight-errant who hated evil and was as fiery as fire, and she was also a brave and valiant woman who did not like makeup.

However, Lu Feng never expected that even someone as strong as Liu Lanyu, who was at the fourth level of the Yuanhai Realm, would secretly suffer from anxiety about her appearance, and even have such a deep obsession that it was almost like a demon in her heart!

"However, Elder Liu has never mentioned his appearance before, so why has it suddenly erupted today, even turning into a demonic obsession...? Could it be that the demoness from the Demonic Sect said something to Elder Liu back in Falling Star Valley...?"

Lu Feng stroked his chin, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Cough cough cough...!

Just as Lu Feng was secretly surprised, he saw Liu Lanyu suddenly cough up blood, and then slowly get up again, releasing an extremely powerful aura of Yuan energy that instantly enveloped the entire hall!

Clearly, the other party has successfully comprehended the Dao, and at the same time, their Yuan Power cultivation has also leaped to the fifth level of the Yuan Sea Realm, which means their strength has increased dramatically and is no longer comparable to what it used to be!

"Elder Liu, are you alright...?"

"Lu Feng! Perhaps... you're right...!"

Seeing that Liu Lanyu was unharmed and even had increased in strength, Lu Feng was about to speak to express his concern when he was interrupted by Liu Lanyu raising her hand. At the same time, Liu Lanyu said in a somewhat complicated tone, "As an elder of the Scripture Hall, and entrusted by Brother Chu in the past, I should be conscientious and focused on fulfilling my duties as an elder of the Scripture Hall..."

"However, due to my personal obsessions and the misleading words of some remnants of the Wusheng Sect, I have fallen into a state of needless worry and anxiety, which is truly laughable..."

At this point, Liu Lanyu also turned her gaze to Lu Feng opposite her. Her eyes were now full of determination, as if she had completely let go of the past. "Lu Feng, thank you."

"Elder Liu, this disciple merely said what should be said; I truly dare not accept such praise!"

Faced with Liu Lanyu's sudden thanks, Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly cupped his hands in greeting, and tentatively asked in a weak tone, "By the way, Elder Liu, what do you plan to do with the remaining Jade Ice Skin Pills?"

"If you don't intend to keep it, I can conveniently dispose of it for you, and I guarantee not a word will get out. Otherwise, you are welcome to punish me..."

Lu Feng felt a little uneasy.

After all, he had refined a batch of Jade Ice Skin Pills, comparable in quality to precious pills, for her, and there were a total of seven of them. Liu Lanyu had only eaten one of them so far, and it would be a waste to throw them away like this!

Lu Feng has always been a frugal person, and even now that he holds the treasure bowl, he remains true to his nature.

Moreover, those Jade Ice Skin Pills are quite valuable; if they were all sold, they could earn a large sum of mid-grade spirit stones!

"Lu Feng, Lu Feng! This elder was absolutely right about you. You're not only clever and eloquent, but that quality will never change..."

Seeing Lu Feng suddenly bring this up, Liu Lanyu was also taken aback for a moment, then crossed her arms and revealed a meaningful smile, "However, there's an old saying that goes, 'Great courage appears as timidity, and great wisdom appears as foolishness.' Sometimes, being too clever isn't a good thing..."

"Elder Liu, actually I just..."

"Come to the Morning Light Pavilion in the Scripture Hall at Chenshi (7-9 AM) tomorrow. This elder has something to tell you."

Raising her hand again to interrupt Lu Feng, Liu Lanyu tossed the unfinished Jade Ice Skin Pill from the small glass bottle to him, then turned and left without looking back, saying, "If you don't come, you'll face the consequences!"

"Disciple understands! Elder Liu, please take care...!"

Lu Feng quickly accepted the small glass bottle, a look of joy flashing in his eyes. He then bowed respectfully in the direction Liu Lanyu had left, his expression extremely respectful.

Because he was a smart man, he not only understood the implied meaning in Liu Lanyu's words, but also guessed her general intentions.

Low emotional intelligence: Does he have something to tell you?

High emotional intelligence: I'll give you a stroke of good fortune!

As for why Lu Feng was so certain of his judgment, the reason is quite simple!

Not to mention that Liu Lanyu has always been strong-willed and dislikes owing favors, women are also emotional beings with complex minds that cannot be judged by common sense and sometimes require guesswork!

Although Lu Feng is not very good at dealing with women, after so many years of "training," he has become a seasoned and experienced person, truly a case of "long-term illness makes a good doctor."

...

Shanxing Peak, on one side of the mountainside

Swish!

A figure in a gray robe swept past on the wind, then suddenly landed, turning back to look at a grove of trees behind them. A strange expression appeared on their face. "Vice Dean Xia, I'm not some stunning beauty. Why have you been following me all this way? Do you perhaps have homosexual tendencies, or some strange stalking fetish?"

"Good lad! You managed to spot me even though I was hiding so well, you've got sharp eyes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a surprised male voice came from afar.

Swish!

The next moment, a tall, middle-aged man with filthy clothes darted out from the nearby woods. He not only sported a Mediterranean hairstyle, but also had dark circles under his eyes, like a panda's. He was none other than Xia Xihai, the vice dean of Falling Star Academy.

"Heh, as expected of someone I've taken a liking to, you lad... not bad!"

Xia Xihai picked his nose, then casually picked the vegetable leaves from the corner of his mouth and between his teeth. At this moment, his eyes, as he looked at Lu Feng across from him, revealed a hint of appreciation and ambiguity.

"No way! Could it be that Vice Dean Xia actually has a thing for that...?!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Feng's expression also changed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his anus, a chill running down his spine.
