Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Young man from the Lu family, stop fantasizing here. This woman is too high-level; you can't handle her."

Gu Canyang's voice came again, tinged with disdain.

"Holy crap, no way!"

"How did you know that, sir?"

Lu Feng was somewhat unconvinced, but then he saw Gu Canyang slowly float out of the treasure basin again, his tone still disdainful, "Hmph, I've eaten tens of thousands of times more salt than you've walked roads...!"

"Besides, this woman is not only highly skilled, but she's also several generations older than you. Are you planning to 'eat an old cow' with an old grass...?"

Gu Canyang said somewhat jokingly.

"The girl named Floating Duckweed is several generations older than me? That can't be right..."

"I think the girl named Floating Duckweed looks quite young, and her skin is very well-maintained..."

Lu Feng still had some doubts.

Gu Canyang snorted coldly, then said in a low voice, "Girl? You're too naive. In this world, the most unreliable and ever-changing thing is a woman's appearance."

"Don't be fooled by that Floating Duckweed Ghost General's beautiful face and snow-white skin, making her look like a woman in her early thirties. In reality, she's at least fifty years old, old enough to be your grandmother!"

"The reason she can maintain her youthful appearance is not only because of her high cultivation level, having reached the Profound Gang Realm, but also because she has most likely consumed some kind of anti-aging elixir. I say, you're supposed to be a ninth-grade alchemist, how come you can't even see that?"

After speaking, Gu Canyang looked Lu Feng up and down, his old face full of disdain, as if he felt that his "disciple" was too short-sighted and had embarrassed him as his master.

"Ah, no matter how powerful a woman is, she can't stop the aging process..."

Hearing this, Lu Feng felt a little regretful and immediately gave up his fantasies, turning instead to cleaning up the battlefield.

After all, Fu Ping was not only several times older than him, but also one of the twenty-four ghost generals of the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance, a true evil cultivator, and basically not on the same path as Lu Feng.

In addition, the reputation of the Heavenly Yin Ghost Alliance is notorious, and its cultivators are all kinds of ruthless killers, almost no better than the Wusheng Sect.

Therefore, even though Lu Feng himself doesn't mind a relationship with an older woman, he doesn't dare to have too much contact with the Floating Duckweed Ghost General, lest he end up getting burned and suffering trouble.

"Well...!"

Just as Lu Feng was about to leave the ruins and head to the underground treasure vault of the Evil Man's Village, a slight stinging pain suddenly came from his right arm.

Click...!

The next moment, the skin on Lu Feng's right arm slowly cracked open, like tiny spider webs, and then fell to the ground, which was quite strange.

"Is this... molting?"

The sudden change startled Lu Feng. He paused for a moment, then casually touched the skin of his right arm, his face full of surprise. "Not only have the injuries on my arm completely healed, but the skin has also become much smoother, as if it's covered with an invisible layer of snake scales..."

"It seems that the operation to wipe out the Villain Stronghold and the Facehugger Mother was not entirely fruitless..."

Thinking of this, a hint of relief appeared on Lu Feng's face.

Shedding skin is a symbol of breakthrough in the Spirit Serpent Transformation Dragon Technique.

The Spirit Serpent Transformation Dragon Technique is divided into ten levels. Each successful molting not only heals the cultivator's injuries but also signifies a breakthrough and advancement in the technique, greatly increasing its power!

Although Lu Feng lost an Ice Shield Axe in the fierce battle at the Evil Village, he completed his first molt, which was an unexpected surprise!

Click...!

Click...!

Soon, as Lu Feng's skin peeled off faster and faster, a small mound resembling "ashes" piled up on the ground around him, accompanied by a strong smell of sweat.

"Thousandfold Serpent Hands!"

As the last piece of old skin peeled off his body, Lu Feng's right hand shot out into the air, then curled into a claw, and at the same time, an extremely powerful and chilling Yuan energy swept outwards.

hiss!hiss!hiss!

In an instant, a large amount of Yuan energy transformed into countless emerald green snake shadows, which then coiled around Lu Feng's right arm, as if they were one with him. At the same time, a series of ear-piercing snake hisses emanated outwards, like ten thousand snakes emerging from their holes, making people's hearts tremble!

Rumble...!

Another deafening roar resounded, and the next moment a huge rock, several meters high and requiring three people to encircle, was seen shattered on the spot, turning into dust on the ground, seemingly unable to withstand the impact of thousands of snake shadows!

"With just my first molt, invisible snake scales have appeared on my body, greatly increasing my defense. Even the power of my Thousand-Layered Serpent Hands has more than doubled...!"

"So this is the power of a low-grade Heavenly Rank cultivation technique...!"

Seeing the huge rock not far away instantly turn into dust, Lu Feng also stopped and stood up, a look of joy on his face.

"Next, it's time to try my luck in the underground treasure vault...!"

Once again activating the Spirit Serpent Transformation Dragon Technique, Lu Feng dispersed the invisible snake scales on his body. Without lingering any longer, he leaped towards the direction of the chief Yang Feng's personal bedroom.

...

A short while later, in Yang Feng's private room at the Evil Man's Stronghold...

"This place has the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Evil Man's Stronghold, and it also boasts the best view. This must be it..."

His gaze swept quickly across the room, and when he noticed a landscape screen in the right corner that seemed a bit out of place, Lu Feng raised an eyebrow and moved closer.

Behind the landscape screen, there was only an ordinary wall, but Lu Feng seemed to have noticed something unusual. He immediately raised his hand and pressed on a protrusion on the opposite wall.

Click! Click!

As Lu Feng's palm landed steadily on the protruding part of the wall, the next moment a sound of a mechanism being activated came from behind the wall, and a small groove with a keyhole was popped out, as if it required some kind of key to open.

Swish!

Seeing this, Lu Feng also took out the bronze key that the Floating Duckweed Ghost General had given him earlier, and then carefully placed it into the small groove.

Click!

Rumble...!

As the bronze key was successfully inserted into the small groove, a dark underground passage slowly appeared beneath Lu Feng's feet, causing a slight smile to appear on his face. "The location of the underground treasure vault is indeed here...!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Feng immediately plunged into the dark passage, seemingly unable to wait to loot the treasures!

...

Inside the underground treasure vault of the Evil Village

Looking around, one sees spirit stones, pills, demon cores, and talismans piled up almost like mountains. There are even all kinds of furnaces, magical artifacts, array diagrams, and secret manuals, making one feel somewhat dazzled.

"Damn! It's all a bunch of worthless junk!!"

However, looking at the dazzling array of treasures in the underground vault before him, Lu Feng showed no joy whatsoever. Instead, he couldn't help but swear.
