Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Hehe, not bad."

Seeing Lu Feng's surprised expression and the fact that he blurted out the name of the Mu Feng Gang, Liu Jin couldn't help but grin, his smile widening. "It seems you've also heard of the Mu Feng Gang's illustrious reputation, Junior Brother. I've come to the right person this time..."

"Uh, you've probably misunderstood."

Seeing Liu Jin arbitrarily label himself a member of the Mu Feng Gang, Lu Feng couldn't hold back any longer and immediately said, "I know nothing about the Mu Feng Gang, and I have no intention of joining any gang. I apologize."

As Lu Feng explained, he shook his head helplessly, then turned to leave.

After all, he has always been used to being a loner, and Lu Feng is naturally carefree and dislikes being constrained. Otherwise, he would not have refused the Five Spirits Society's offer of enlistment, let alone this suddenly appearing Mu Feng Gang.

"Hey! Junior brother, don't go yet...!"

Seeing Lu Feng swiftly reject his offer of alliance and turn to leave, Liu Jin grew anxious and quickly stepped forward to stop him. "Junior brother, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"Junior brother, you probably don't know this yet, do you? Our Mu Feng Gang isn't just any ordinary gang; it's the largest gang in the entire Falling Star Academy, far surpassing even the former Five Spirits Society. If you're willing to join the Mu Feng Gang, you'll definitely reap many benefits in the future!"

As Liu Jin stepped forward, he casually flashed the Cangmang Token at his waist, saying with considerable pride, "Junior brother, you see for yourself. I, Liu, am merely a lowly disciple of the West Courtyard. In terms of both strength and seniority, I am not much stronger than you newcomers from the North Courtyard..."

"However, the fact that Liu is currently thriving at Falling Star Academy, living a life of luxury and with no one daring to provoke him, is all thanks to the protection of the Mu Feng Gang...!"

"Oh?"

Faced with Liu Jin's boastful talk and exaggerated claims, Lu Feng, who had originally planned to run away, suddenly became interested and probed, "From what you're saying, this Mu Feng Gang is not only the largest gang in Falling Star Academy, but its members are also full of experts. I suppose its leader must be very powerful?"

"Of course! Rumor has it that the leader of the Mu Feng Gang, 'Young Master Feng,' is not only handsome and dashing with natural leadership qualities, but he is also incredibly powerful, a super genius that comes along only once in a century. Otherwise, so many people wouldn't be drawn to him!"

Liu Jin still looked on with admiration, clearly a loyal member of the Mu Feng Gang, as he mentioned the Mu Feng Gang almost every other sentence.

"Young Master Feng?"

Hearing this, Lu Feng remained astonished and couldn't help but ask again, "Is this person really that powerful? How come I've never heard of such a person when I was at Falling Star Academy? Is this just some wild rumor going around...?"

"Shh! Junior brother, please don't say anything out of the ordinary!"

Seeing Lu Feng's audacity in publicly questioning the leader of the Mu Feng Gang, Liu Jin was terrified. He quickly covered Lu Feng's mouth and whispered a warning, "Junior brother, you must be careful with your words! If the other members of the Mu Feng Gang, especially 'Young Master Feng's' female fans, heard you say that, they would tear you apart in a heartbeat...!"

"Aren't you being too sensitive? Is this Young Master Feng of the Mu Feng Gang really that terrifying?"

"Junior brother, you may not know this, but the leader of the Mu Feng Gang, 'Young Master Feng,' is a rising super genius who has emerged in recent years."

"This person's talent and strength are so great that even Zhong Lingyu, the former number one prodigy of Falling Star Academy and the strongest genius of the East Campus, had to temporarily give way to her. She is not someone that we insignificant people can even touch...!"

Seemingly afraid that Lu Feng might say something wrong, Liu Jin spoke cautiously again, her face full of tension and trepidation.

"Even Miss Zhong would have to temporarily avoid his brilliance?"

"Is this 'Young Master Feng' really that awesome?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's curiosity only intensified. He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Liu Jin, as if a new idea had popped into his head. "Hehe, I never expected the legendary leader of the Mu Feng Gang to be so powerful. I admire him greatly..."

"By the way, would you be so kind as to take me to the Mu Feng Gang to see it for myself?"

"Hahaha! Of course, of course. Junior brother, please come with me!"

Seeing that Lu Feng had suddenly changed his mind, Liu Jin was overjoyed and immediately bowed.

After all, his initial goal was to win over Lu Feng, and he couldn't wait for Lu Feng to join the Mu Feng Gang with him.

As for Liu Jin's intention, it was very simple: to raise his personal gang level, because only in this way could he have more opportunities to come into contact with the leader of the Mu Feng Gang, the rumored "Young Master Feng"!

According to the rules of the Mu Feng Gang, most members are ranked from one to six stars, with the individual rank ranging from low to high. Liu Jin, for example, is a four-star member, which is not a low rank.

There are generally only two ways to upgrade a member's rank: either pay a certain amount of salary each month or go out to recruit new members and expand the influence of the Mu Feng Gang.

This is also why Liu Jin suddenly set her sights on Lu Feng in the first place.

...

Before long, Lu Feng followed Liu Jin to a secluded bamboo forest at the foot of Cangmang Mountain.

Across from the bamboo grove was a wide-open meadow, with a huge platform vaguely visible in the center. Around the platform, crowds surged and clamored, resembling a bustling market.

"And here again...?"

Looking at the bustling scene before him, Lu Feng also looked puzzled.

Liu Jin, standing to the side, grinned and explained with a smile, "Hehe, junior brother, you've come at the perfect time today, just in time for our Mu Feng Gang's general meeting."

"But junior brother, don't be in a hurry. The vice leader will be making an appearance soon. Let's find a place to rest first."

As she spoke, Liu Jin casually pulled Lu Feng to a corner of the crowd to sit down. Her face was still full of excitement, clearly looking forward to the upcoming general meeting of all gang members.

"The Vice Leader has arrived! Silence!"

Just as Lu Feng was wondering, he heard a shout that sounded like a eunuch coming from the high platform not far away.

Swish!

The next moment, a tall, slender young man dressed in a black robe with a handsome face stepped through the air and landed steadily in the center of the platform. His face was cold and stern, with a slightly arrogant air, as if he had an aura of authority that attracted the admiring gazes of everyone present.

"Han Buli?"

Looking up at the sound, Lu Feng recognized the figure and his expression froze slightly before he exclaimed in surprise, "What, it's you, kid?"

The person who came before him was none other than Han Buli, a disciple of the Southern Academy, whom he had met once before at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion on Yunlan Peak.

However, back then, Han Buli was just a street vendor with almost no presence.

As for Lu Feng, he bought a priceless rare spiritual plant called "Overlord Flower" from the other party at an extremely low price, which can be described as making a fortune. He naturally has a deep impression of it now.

"You, you're Lu Feng...?!"

Han Buli, who had been so arrogant, also noticed Lu Feng's figure not far from the audience. His face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost, and he suddenly couldn't stand up.
