Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Hmm, why would I have such a dream..."

Recalling his experience in the dream, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

After all, he was a married man, and the woman he dreamt of was his disciple.

"I guess I've been too tired lately..."

Suppressing the distracting thought in his mind, Lu Feng released his Yuan Power to sense the outside world, but the next moment he was stunned.

Because, not to mention the small Linjia Village, there was no trace of Lin Xiaoyu anywhere in the surrounding area.

At this moment, Lu Feng noticed that there was a letter made of bamboo slips at his feet.

"This, this is...!"

He quickly raised his hand and summoned the letter into his palm. Lu Feng's expression changed slightly, revealing a complex look.

The letter contained only a few lines of neat handwriting, and the words revealed respect and admiration for Lu Feng. It was clearly written by Lin Xiaoyu.

"Master, I hope this letter finds you well..."

"Please forgive Xiaoyu's impulsiveness and leaving without saying goodbye. Xiaoyu doesn't want to be a burden to you any longer..."

"From now on, Xiaoyu will not let you down, Master. I will live well. Master, please take good care of your health!"

"To my master, Lin Xiaoyu."

The writing stopped abruptly, and Lu Feng's brows furrowed.

"Could it be... I wasn't dreaming before?!"

Thinking of this, Lu Feng felt a cold sweat pour down his back.

Although she didn't initiate that night of passion, Lin Xiaoyu still gave her first time to her master.

In addition, Lin Xiaoyu chose to leave alone afterward, without making Lu Feng take any responsibility or holding him back, making her a perfect lover.

This is also why Lu Feng felt embarrassed; he had inexplicably become a scumbag!

"Little Fish, why did you do that...?"

Lu Feng slowly clenched the letter in his palm and sighed helplessly.

At this moment, the treasure basin also emitted a strange and mysterious light, and then a frail old figure slowly floated out, his face showing a mocking expression.

"Young Master Lu, acting all innocent after getting a bargain isn't like you, is it?"

"I told you long ago, that little girl's feelings for you go far beyond the simple bond between master and disciple..."

The ancient man, bathed in the setting sun, seemed to know a great deal about matters between men and women.

"Old Gu, I've already said from the beginning that I have no improper thoughts about Xiaoyu. I only regard her as my apprentice..."

Lu Feng frowned slightly and said again.

Stop pretending!

"We're both men, what are you trying to prove with me?"

Seeing that Lu Feng was still being stubborn, Gu Canyang suddenly got angry, his beard twitching as he said, "It's normal for a real man to have three wives and four concubines, and what's wrong with liking someone?"

"That young girl is deeply in love with you, and you haven't ignored her feelings either. That night, things got really heated, lasting all night long. Even I'm tired of watching..."

Gu Canyang became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, as if he had been hiding in a treasure bowl and acting as the best third party all night.

"Alright, Old Man, you don't need to say anymore...!"

He quickly interrupted the other person, his face turning red and then pale, showing a deep sense of unease, as if someone had hit a nerve.

Could it be that I've really fallen for the little fish?

Recalling all the little things Lin Xiaoyu had done for him in the past, Lu Feng's heart was in turmoil.

"You won't tell? I'll tell you anyway!"

Faced with Lu Feng's interruption, Gu Canyang grinned, like a mischievous old child, and said, "Besides, what that little girl left you is more than just that letter...!"

"Old man, what do you mean by this...?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was taken aback.

"Haven't you noticed yet, kid?"

Gu Canyang stroked his long beard and said in a low voice, "As the ancients said, 'Beauty is a curse.' It seems that being too immersed in the gentle embrace of women can indeed weaken one's insight and sixth sense..."

"Hmm, this aura is..."

As soon as the other party finished speaking, Lu Feng seemed to realize something and quickly circulated his Yuan Power to examine his dantian.

"The power of thunder?!"

His pupils contracted sharply, and disbelief appeared on Lu Feng's face.

Inside his dantian, a spherical crystal about the size of a thumb was quietly suspended. It was dazzlingly bright, like a natural sapphire. Lightning flashed around the crystal, and at the same time, it faintly emitted a terrifying aura. It was obviously of the same origin as the heavenly tribulation!

However, the remaining thunder power within Lu Feng's body was a weakened version, and compared to the heaven and earth thunder tribulation triggered when Lin Xiaoyu awakened the Heavenly Thunder Profound Body, it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

As for this force, it was naturally left behind by Lin Xiaoyu, but the way it was left behind was a little "special".

Because Lin Xiaoyu forced a wisp of unabsorbed lightning power from her body into Lu Feng's mouth through mouth-to-mouth contact, and then it flowed all the way into his dantian, where it condensed into a lightning crystal.

"Could this have been Little Fish's idea from the beginning...?"

Recalling his passionate night with Lin Xiaoyu, Lu Feng felt a wave of embarrassment.

"Eh...!"

It seems I can never shake off the title of "scumbag."

"Young Master Lu, you've struck gold this time! If you can completely refine this lightning crystal, regardless of how much your Yuan Power cultivation will improve, breaking through to the Condensation Yuan Realm will be a piece of cake!"

Gu Canyang's voice came again in my ears.

Lu Feng slowly clenched his fists.

Although Lin Xiaoyu's sudden departure and that night of passion had drastically changed his mindset.

However, Lu Feng did not want to waste the remaining thunderous power in his dantian.

After all, this was Lin Xiaoyu's heartfelt gesture, and he couldn't let her down.

"Little Fish, no matter how many years or months pass, even if I chase you to the ends of the earth, as long as I'm alive, I will find you...!"

Lu Feng's eyes were resolute, but his expression was moved.

Because the die is cast, he didn't want to betray the other person's deep affection.

"call....!"

He took another deep breath, and the next moment Lu Feng sat cross-legged on the spot, while raising his hand and gently stroking the storage ring between his fingers.

hum!

With a flash of white light, a large number of spirit stones gushed out from the storage ring space, like a flood bursting through a dam, instantly scattering all over the ground and surrounding Lu Feng, like a small hill.

Lu Feng originally had more than a thousand Yuan Stones. After killing Ji Rufeng and the Zeng brothers, he plundered about two thousand more Yuan Stones. After these Yuan Stones were put into the Treasure Basin, the number almost tripled, reaching as many as ten thousand!

Although these elemental stones are only the lowest quality, the quantity of them is large enough!

If all ten thousand inferior spirit stones were absorbed and refined, not only would a rising star like Lu Feng, but even a foolish and mediocre person with no talent for cultivation, would still see a great increase in their cultivation level!

"Let's begin...!"

With his hands clasped together, Lu Feng circulated the cultivation technique of the Panlong Breathing Technique while absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained within the inferior Yuan Stone, then refined it all into strands of pure Yuan Power.

Click!

As strands of pure Yuan energy flowed into his dantian, the lightning crystal that had been floating in the center of Lu Feng's dantian cracked instantly, revealing several cracks. Then, strands of lightning power surged out from it, pouring into the latter's eight extraordinary meridians like a tide!

Swish!

In an instant, the power of thunder and the pure Yuan energy merged into one, seemingly complementing each other, filling Lu Feng's eight extraordinary meridians, while the latter's aura also rose steadily, like an arrow released from a bow.

.....

boom!

After an unknown amount of time, a booming sound came from Lu Feng's dantian. The next moment, his aura not only surged, increasing several times over, but his body and limbs also grew taller and stronger, as if a dragon had emerged from the abyss and a kun had entered the nine heavens!

"Second level of the Qi Condensation Realm!"

Feeling the powerful surge of energy surging through his dantian like a tidal wave, Lu Feng grinned, revealing a relieved smile.

After refining and absorbing that lightning crystal and tens of thousands of inferior spirit stones, his spirit power cultivation finally broke through smoothly as he wished, stepping into the second level of the Condensation Realm in one fell swoop, and his strength was more than several times that of the past!

With Lu Feng's current Yuan Power cultivation, coupled with the support of his trump cards such as the Panlong Breath Technique and the Flame-Swallowing Blade, he has the power to fight even against a sixth-level Condensation Realm martial artist, and may even be able to turn the tables and kill them!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Lu Feng's mind stirred again, and the next moment a large amount of Yuan energy surged out, then transformed into shields that enveloped his entire body, like an indestructible city wall.

"Releasing Yuan energy outwards, condensing it into form and materializing it—is this the method of a martial artist at the Yuan Condensation Realm..."

Looking down at the protective energy surrounding him, Lu Feng stroked his chin and silently rubbed his stomach.

"Everyone says that the gap between Body Refinement Realm and Qi Condensation Realm martial artists is as vast as a chasm, and now it seems that this statement is indeed true..."
