Chapter 8: Vast Spirit Residence in Autumn Glory City
Chapter 8: Vast Spirit Residence in Autumn Glory City
"A quieter and more secluded guest room would be preferable."
Lin Feng approached the young girl and asked with a smile, "May I know your name?"
"Ning Xian."
Ning Xian's eyes widened in surprise, sensing that the other party's body seemed to radiate a faint medicinal spiritual aura from within.
Although the aura was subtle,
Ning Xian had been studying Alchemy under her master for more than ten years and believed she couldn't be mistaken.
Immediately,
Her curiosity about Lin Feng was piqued.
"Miss Ning, my name is Xiao Feng."
Lin Feng offered a respectful gesture, not revealing his full name.
"Hmm."
"Since we've only recently opened and our location is somewhat secluded, did an acquaintance refer you here?"
Ning Xian placed the key in front of Lin Feng and inquired.
"No."
"I found it myself!"
Lin Feng smiled as he took the key, feeling at ease, as if he had returned to the good old days when he had chatted and laughed with the female disciples before his dantian was shattered.
"You have a good eye, then, haha."
Ning Xian smiled playfully and turned to leave.
"She's so good-looking..."
Lin Feng watched Ning Xian's graceful back and reluctantly shifted his gaze away. He then quickly took his keys and headed upstairs.
What he needed most urgently now was to recover his cultivation!
Upon entering the inn room,
Lin Feng removed the cloak with the veiled conical bamboo hat on his head and placed it on the table.
"Finally, I've completely left the Thousand Star Mountain Range."
"Autumn Glory City is immense, and although the Jiang Clan is one of the overlords, there's also the Zhou Clan, with other forces scattered around."
"What's more, Jiang Chen likely won't pay attention to me as a 'cripple' and has probably left me behind."
"Now I can recover my strength in peace, and when I reach the Soul Refining Realm, I'll go searching for spiritual herbs!"
"With the Burning World Red Lotus, the Heavenly Origin realm is within my grasp."
"When I break through to the Heavenly Origin... All those who hold grudges against me will receive a hundred times retribution!"
Lin Feng sat down on the bed, took a deep breath, and began to meditate and circulate his Qi.
His cultivation level had already reached the Soul Refining Realm.
This stage was mainly focused on refining the divine soul and condensing the divine sense.
Although Lin Feng's dantian was damaged, his divine soul remained intact, and as soon as his Yuan Power was restored, he would easily be able to reach the Soul Refining Realm again.
At the same time.
Starry Abyss Sect, in Jiang Chen's pavilion.
"A breakthrough!"
"Is this the power of the Middle-stage Spiritual Awakening Realm?"
"The effect of the Ten-Turn Harmonious Spirit Pill used in conjunction with the Clearing Mind Awakening Spirit Pill is truly remarkable!"
In the attic's quiet room, Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, as a large amount of Yuan Power coursed through his dantian and meridians.
After refining the Ten-Turn Harmonious Spirit Pill, he had taken two more Clearing Mind Awakening Spirit Pills one after another.
Following a night of cultivation, he had successfully broken through to the Middle-stage Spiritual Awakening!
"System, bring up my panel."
Jiang Chen's thoughts shifted and his information panel appeared before him.

"Middle-stage Spiritual Awakening+?"
"This is beyond an ordinary Middle-stage Spiritual Awakening, but not yet at the Late-stage Spiritual Awakening, right?"
"In other words, an ordinary Middle-stage Spiritual Awakening will be no match for me!"
A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face as he considered this.
Once he had practiced the technique more proficiently, his true combat power would further increase!
If he learned the Wind Void Steps, even if only at the entry level, it was estimated that his battle power could reach the Late-stage Spiritual Awakening.
However, it was not possible to master a martial skill in a short period of time.
It was still imperative to leverage his superior cultivation level to resolve the threat from Lin Feng first, and the matter of martial skill practice could be addressed according to the situation over time.
Just at that moment.
A formation ripple came from outside, signaling someone 'knocking' at the door.
"Come in."
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen opened the courtyard protection formation.
"Young Master."
"Here is what you asked for!"
A short-bearded, grey-robed old man walked in from outside, looking respectful as he presented a bundle.
"Thank you for your hard work, Elder Ge."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly and took the bundle into his hands.
"It's not hard work; it's what old servants should do!"
Elder Ge bowed slightly and then stood by the side with his head bowed in silence.
"I'm sure you're curious about what I need these items for. Watch."
Jiang Chen's mouth curled as he waved his hand and opened the bag, picking out some hair strands from it.
These were naturally Lin Feng's hair.
Hair loss is a significant problem, and even martial artists are not immune!
Under Elder Ge's puzzled gaze,
Jiang Chen took out the Aura Finder Smoke, stuffed the strands of hair into it, and lit it up!
Immediately,
A wisp of black smoke emerged and gathered in the same direction.
"Is this a... tracking method!?"
Elder Ge said with a mix of surprise and suspicion, "Young Master, are you tracking Lin Feng?"
"Correct."
Jiang Chen looked at the black smoke and slightly narrowed his eyes, "That direction... Autumn Glory City, huh..."
"Isn't Lin Feng crippled?"
"Having been kicked out of the sect's mountain gate just yesterday, in that state, how could he arrive at Autumn Glory City overnight?"
Elder Ge asked in a somewhat puzzled manner.
He wasn't foolish either, and immediately understood why Jiang Chen was tracking Lin Feng; there had to be something unusual about Lin Feng.
"This person, Lin Feng, is not simple."
Jiang Chen said in a cold voice as he stood up, "He has made an enemy of me, and I must eliminate him."
"Yes!"
"Old servant will go and investigate the situation, and if there's an opportunity, I will definitely exterminate him!"
Elder Ge nodded in deep understanding, as he was also involved in the 'Poison Pill Scheme' against Lin Feng.
"You, going?"
"Don't, you mustn't go!"
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and hurriedly stopped Elder Ge.
He was the villain, and Lin Feng was the protagonist, so sending his subordinates to deal with the protagonist was like giving away heads, experience, and resources!
In the stories I had read in the past, I don't know how many protagonists had been fattened up by the villain bit by bit like this!
"Ah, is Young Master going to send someone from the clan to finish off Lin Feng?"
Elder Ge asked in a somewhat puzzled manner.
"No."
Jiang Chen shook his head.
In the original plot setting, I'm afraid that the Jiang Clan was a massive experience package for Lin Feng.
Understanding that Lin Feng was the protagonist, something like giving away experience was something Jiang Chen was determined not to do!
"I see."
Elder Ge suddenly looked as if he had a sudden understanding, "Young Master, you want to settle your grudge with that Lin Feng fellow yourself! That's why you don't want the old servant and the clan to interfere!"
The moment this statement was made.
The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth immediately twitched.
How did that sound like another classic plot setting?
But immediately he smiled faintly.
He wouldn't send Elder Ge and the people in his clan to give experience to Lin Feng.
But he wouldn't leave such a large force unused either.
If they were just sent to secretly investigate and spy on Lin Feng, not allowing them to strike and retreating immediately once they were discovered, that would still be fine.
"Don't think too much."
Jiang Chen faintly glanced at Elder Ge, "Go and get ready, I want to go down the mountain immediately."
"Now?"
"Young Master, the clan competition is about to begin in a few days."
"If you don't participate, I'm afraid that the core disciple position will be taken away from you..."
Elder Ge said hesitantly, "That Lin Feng shouldn't be able to make any waves, why don't we wait until the Grand Competition is completed before we go and clean up that kid?"
