Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"That Lu family brat, he's got some nerve, tsk tsk..."

"You little rascal, you've probably fallen for this girl too, haven't you?"

The moment Zeng Hongming died, Gu Canyang's remnant soul also floated out of the treasure basin, his tone mocking.

Aside from the massacre in Black Rock Village and Ye Yun's disappearance, this was the first time he had ever seen Lu Feng so enraged, and all he was doing was to vent Lin Xiaoyu's anger.

"Old-fashioned, that's a really lame joke..."

Lu Feng glanced back at Gu Canyang's remnant soul, his brows furrowing slightly, seemingly speechless.

Not to mention that Lin Xiaoyu is his apprentice, he already has a fiancée, so how could he do something that goes against common morals?

Swish!

Ignoring Gu Canyang's mockery, Lu Feng raised his hand and summoned the storage rings left on the Zeng brothers' corpses on the ground. Then, he carried the unconscious Lin Xiaoyu away from the place.

"Heh heh, let's see how long you can keep up this act..."

Seeing that Lu Feng ignored him, Gu Canyang stroked his long beard with a playful expression. The next moment, his figure also vanished, seemingly running back into the treasure basin.

...

Linjia Village, beside the ancient well

A figure in a gray robe leaped out of the well and landed slowly, his pair of Yuan Power wings on his back disappearing as well. It was none other than Lu Feng, who had been gone for a long time.

"Damn it, I didn't expect the price of forcibly overdrawing my spiritual power to be so severe..."

Looking down at Lin Xiaoyu, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, Lu Feng frowned, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

Although he had poured a lot of Yuan energy into the other party, Lin Xiaoyu still showed no signs of waking up, as if her internal injuries were very serious and would be difficult to heal in a short time.

After all, Lin Xiaoyu's cultivation foundation was still too weak, only at the first level of Body Refinement Realm, making it difficult for him to fully control the Heavenly Thunder Profound Body. The fact that he was able to persist for so long back then was entirely due to his unwavering belief, which was nothing short of a miracle.

"Young Master Lu, it's useless. This little girl's meridians are all shattered, and her body has countless hidden wounds. How can she be healed by simply pouring in a trace of Yuan energy..."

Seeing that Lu Feng was still channeling his Yuan energy to heal Lin Xiaoyu, Gu Canyang also appeared.

"Old man, are you here again just to make sarcastic remarks?"

Seeing the other party reappear, Lu Feng frowned slightly. "If there's nothing else, you can go back to sleep."

"Hehe, Lu family boy, don't be so impulsive with your tone."

Faced with Lu Feng's sarcasm, Gu Canyang grinned again, as if he had expected it. "If you want to save this little girl, the method is simple. You just need to borrow the power of the Treasure Basin."

"The Treasure Basin is a supreme treasure of the universe, containing the essence of heaven and earth's primordial energy. Although it is currently damaged and cannot bring the dead back to life or return the dead to life, it can easily repair meridians, heal wounds, and remove toxins..."

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Lu Feng couldn't help but swear. He then quickly took out the treasure basin and extracted its spiritual energy to heal Lin Xiaoyu.

After all, he didn't know at first that the treasure bowl, in addition to its magical effects of turning stones into gold and accumulating wealth, also had the function of healing injuries!

I don't know how much time has passed.

Under Lu Feng's all-out efforts to save her, Lin Xiaoyu's originally pale face gradually regained its rosy color, and at the same time, all the damaged meridians in her body were completely healed, and her injuries seemed to have greatly improved.

As the last wisp of spiritual energy flowed into Lin Xiaoyu's dantian, the dark green patterns on the surface of the treasure basin completely dimmed, turning gray and dull, seemingly needing some time to recover.

"Master, Master...?"

Slowly opening her eyes, Lin Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment when she saw Lu Feng's familiar face. Then she realized that she was leaning against him and couldn't help but blush slightly.

"ah!"

Quickly pulling away from Lu Feng's embrace, Lin Xiaoyu sat up straight, somewhat incoherently, "Master! Weren't you supposed to go down the well to explore the ruins of the Loyal King's tomb? Why did you come back...?"

"Also, what's wrong with my body? Why do I feel such a strange sensation..."

Subconsciously circulating her inner energy to examine her dantian, Lin Xiaoyu's pretty face showed surprise.

At this moment, she could vaguely sense a terrifying thunderous power hidden in her dantian, like a lurking monster that would erupt completely and destroy any living being with just a slight provocation!

"Little Fish, you're finally awake."

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyu had finally woken up, Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Back then, you accidentally awakened the Heavenly Thunder Body under the crisis, but you fell into a coma because you over-exhausted this power."

"However, everything is fine now. Those bastards who kidnapped you have been killed by your master."

"Little Fish, take good care of your injuries over the next few days. As for exploring the Zhongwang Tomb ruins, there's no rush."

Lu Feng spoke casually, seemingly unconcerned about the treasures and opportunities within the tomb of the Loyal King, a stark contrast to his former greedy and materialistic nature, as if he were a completely different person.

"So that's how it is..."

Lin Xiaoyu was still somewhat dazed when she saw Lu Feng get up and leave. Before leaving, he instructed her, "Xiaoyu, you wait here and don't wander off, lest you aggravate your injuries. I'll go and hunt some game to improve your appetite."

"Yes, Master...!"

Lin Xiaoyu nodded obediently.

"Heavenly Thunder Body, so I didn't know I possessed such a powerful hidden force..."

"But I've repeatedly put my master in danger, like a burden. Can I really be considered a good disciple...?"

Watching Lu Feng's departing figure, Lin Xiaoyu slowly lowered her head, her once smiling face now showing a hint of confusion, and it was unclear what she was thinking at that moment.

...

Eastern Xuan Domain, Lingze Realm, Yixian Mountain

The mountains were layered and covered with ancient trees. The entire mountain range was shrouded in mist and clouds, and the occasional calls of celestial birds could be heard from within, making it seem like a paradise on earth, a fairyland. At the highest peak stood an ancient palace, magnificent and imposing.

This is the mountain gate of Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, and also the place where the disciples of the Heavenly Palace cultivate and live.

"Palace Master, we've arrived."

As the red-crowned crane slowly landed, the maid in green also curtsied to Mu Qingxue in front of her.

"Um."

Mu Qingxue's face was as cold as frost. The next moment, she turned to look at Ye Yun beside her, revealing a rare hint of gentleness. "Yun'er, this is the Tai Xuan Palace. From now on, you are a member of the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, and also my last closed-door disciple."

"From now on, you must diligently cultivate yourself, sever all emotional attachments, eradicate the six desires, and never fail your teacher's expectations..."

"Sever all emotional attachments... eradicate the six desires..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun's pretty face froze slightly, and then a hint of hesitation and complexity appeared in her eyes.

"Yun'er, did you hear me clearly?"

Seeing Ye Yun standing there in a daze, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but frown slightly.

"I understand now...!"

Composing herself, Ye Yun bowed respectfully to Mu Qingxue again, but a hint of reluctance flickered in her eyes, as if she was still thinking about someone very important to her.

"Xiaoqing, take Yun'er to the Ancient Scripture Hall first, and then call Cai'er and Xiaowu over as well. I have important matters to discuss with you."

Seeing Ye Yun's reaction, Mu Qingxue was slightly displeased, but she did not show it. She simply left a few words of advice and then turned to leave.

"Yes, Palace Master!"

Upon hearing the order, the maid in green robes beside her quickly stepped forward and led Ye Yun away from the main hall.

...

Meanwhile, night fell in Linjia Village.

Lu Feng and Lin Xiaoyu were sitting around a fire, the atmosphere somewhat silent and dry. Several bamboo skewers were placed in front of them, and a faint aroma wafted from them, as if they were grilling food.

"Little Fish, how's your injury healing?"

Lu Feng broke the silence by handing a string of perfectly cooked, reddish-brown roasted pigeons to Lin Xiaoyu.

"Master, I'm much better now, I'm fine...!"

Lin Xiaoyu carefully accepted the skewer, a faint smile appearing on her face. Then, as if remembering something, she turned to look at Lu Feng again, "By the way, Master, what is your dream...?"

"dream?"

Faced with Lin Xiaoyu's question, Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent, seemingly unsure how to answer.
