Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

Although Lu Feng appeared to be dressed plainly and unremarkable, he was always surrounded by an extremely powerful aura of Yuan energy, which made people feel wary!

"Although this person is young, his Yuan energy is terrifyingly strong, even stronger than the disciples of Falling Star Academy I have seen before..."

"If I can please this person right now, I'll be set for life for at least several years...!"

He muttered to himself, a barely perceptible glint of excitement flashing in the gray-clad servant's eyes.

Although he was just an ordinary person without any cultivation, he had been struggling in the lower levels of the martial arts world for many years and his eyesight was not low. He could naturally see that Lu Feng's background was extraordinary!

This is also why he took the initiative to flatter Lu Feng.

After all, with the wealth and resources of a master like Lu Feng, even a few dozen taels of silver would be enough for him to squander for several years!

Do you have any vacant premium rooms available?

Ignoring the gray-clad servant's fawning and flattery, Lu Feng merely glanced at him and said indifferently.

According to the strange invitation found inside the lightning-struck wood, the mysterious master invited him to a meeting at the top-class room of this Jianghu tavern.

Although more than two months have passed and he has long missed the appointed day on the invitation, Lu Feng has not given up and plans to come and try his luck.

"A top-tier room? Yes, yes, yes! Sir, you've come at the perfect time!"

Faced with Lu Feng's question, the gray-clad waiter paused for a moment, then clapped his hands heavily, as if he had remembered something, "Right now, our tavern happens to have only one top-class room left, and it's kind of strange..."

"About two months ago, this top-tier room was booked by a mysterious expert, but he hasn't checked in yet. He's just instructed me to leave the room vacant while waiting for the next guest to inquire. I wonder what this gentleman is after..."

The gray-clad servant scratched his head as he spoke, his face full of confusion.

After all, the rent for a top-tier room is not low, and it does not accept gold and silver commonly used in the secular world, but only rare spirit stones. The rent alone is as high as a thousand low-grade spirit stones per day!

"This person really didn't leave...?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, a look of surprise appearing in his heart.

Clearly, the mysterious expert mentioned by the gray-clad servant was the one who had sent Fang Yunhua to deliver the message. However, Lu Feng was not yet clear about the other party's purpose!

"Take me there."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Feng casually tossed a small cloth bag to the other person, saying in a deep voice, "As for these little trinkets, consider them a gift from your grandfather..."

"This is... gold?!"

He hurriedly opened the small cloth bag, and the gray-clad servant's eyes swept over it. The next moment, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, his face full of excitement!

Because what's inside is none other than pure gold, and a full twenty taels of it!

You should know that his monthly salary is only less than five taels of silver, but now he can earn twenty taels of gold just by leading the way for Lu Feng. This huge sum of money is enough for him to squander for several years!

"I thank you for your generosity, sir! Please come with me..."

Suppressing his excitement, the gray-clad servant immediately stepped aside to make way for Lu Feng, his eyes filled with respect. After all, the latter could casually pull out dozens of taels of gold, which was enough to show that he was no ordinary person!

A short while later, following the footsteps of the gray-clad servant, Lu Feng also arrived at a spacious and luxuriously decorated guest room.

"Hmm, why does this energy feel so familiar...?"

Lu Feng slowly stopped at the door of the guest room, raising his eyebrows slightly as if he had noticed something.

As for the gray-clad servant who had led the way, he didn't linger and wisely left quietly. After all, he was just an ordinary mortal and dared not pry into the affairs of a cultivator like Lu Feng.

Creak...!

Suppressing his surprise, Lu Feng pushed open the door and entered. However, before he could even come to his senses, dozens of hidden weapons suddenly burst from all directions of the room, aiming directly at his vital points!

Clang clang clang...!

A crisp sound of weapons clashing rang out, and the next moment Lu Feng dodged to the side and landed in the right corner of the room. At the same time, he swung his Ice Shield Axe repeatedly, immediately repelling all the incoming hidden weapons!

"Who dares to challenge me?!"

"Hehe, you've finally arrived..."

With a single axe stroke, Lu Feng cleaved aside the numerous hidden weapons attacking from all sides. He frowned slightly and habitually looked in the direction of the attacker, only to see a black-robed figure wearing a skull mask slowly emerge, his tone cold and sinister.

"I have never met you before, nor do we have any grudge against you. May I ask why you would choose to launch a sneak attack?"

His gaze fell once again on the black-robed figure across the room. Lu Feng subconsciously gripped the Extreme Ice Shield Axe in his hand, and his whole face showed a look of great alarm.

Because the opponent's Yuan Power aura was quite remarkable, almost no less than his, clearly indicating that he was also a Yuan Sea Realm Level 3 expert!

What made Lu Feng even more wary was that the mysterious black-robed figure in front of him seemed to know him? But he had no recollection of the former at all!

"Enough talk, let's make our move!"

Ignoring Lu Feng's question, the black-robed figure extended his right hand again, and a surge of Yuan Power erupted, eventually transforming into a sharp sword pointing directly at the former's chest. This was clearly an exclusive ability of a Yuan Hai Realm expert: transforming spirit into weapon!

"A trivial skill!"

Seeing that the other party attacked again without warning, Lu Feng also snorted coldly, his face showing a fierce fighting spirit.

Although the black-robed figure in front of him was also a martial artist at the third level of the Yuanhai Realm, and his cultivation was almost equal to his, Lu Feng, after expanding his dantian through the Treasure Basin, was not an ordinary martial artist!

With his current cultivation level, plus the Extreme Ice Shield Axe and Soul Devouring Technique, among other trump cards and killing moves, Lu Feng would have the strength to fight even against a sixth-level Yuanhai Realm expert!

"A vast expanse of ice!"

Lu Feng gripped the Ice Shield Axe tightly with both hands, and in the next moment, he unleashed a powerful axe strike from a distance. Countless pure Yuan Power, mixed with a large amount of deadly cold air, instantly transformed into dozens of ice crystal axe beams, all pointing directly at the black-robed figure attacking from the opposite side!

Boom! Rumble...!

In an instant, the icy axe light pierced through the air, seemingly unstoppable. It instantly knocked the sharp sword out of the black-robed figure's hand. The remaining force of the attack did not diminish as it slashed fiercely towards the latter's vital chest!

Click...!

At the critical moment, the figure in black robes also clasped his hands together, and a large amount of Yuan energy was transformed into multiple barriers, which also barely shattered the incoming ice crystal axe light. However, the skull mask he was wearing shattered in response, revealing a delicate and fair-skinned girl's face.

"This... how could it be you...!"

Seeing the skull mask on the black-robed figure shatter instantly, revealing the true face beneath, Lu Feng's pupils constricted, and he was stunned on the spot.

Because the other party was none other than Zhong Lingyu, the former number one genius of Falling Star Academy and the strongest disciple of the East Campus!

"Lu Feng, I was right about you all along..."

"You certainly deserve it..."

Seeing that her identity had been exposed, Zhong Lingyu was not flustered at all. She simply raised her hand to disperse the Yuan energy around her. At this moment, her pretty face was still cold as ice, and her tone was somewhat meaningful.

Clearly, his decision to send someone to invite Lu Feng and then secretly ambush him was not a spur-of-the-moment thing, but rather had another purpose!
