Goddess Painting

"How could it be that useless son-in-law of the Lin family... Qin Feng?!"

That mortal she hadn't even glanced at during the day, whom she regarded as an ant?!

How is this possible?!

How could he possibly become my inner demon?

Su Qinghan was filled with shame and indignation.

You must know, she is the Holy Maiden of the Qingyun Sect, second only to the leader!

Countless people would give anything just to catch a glimpse of her beauty, and there are countless exceptional talents who want to pursue her!

She had always been indifferent to all men, a renowned ice queen, but now…

How could I have been desecrated by a demon within myself?

Su Qinghan's beautiful eyes flickered: "No, I must find out what's going on!"

……

I don't know how much time passed.

The world in the painting crumbles, turning into specks of ink light.

Qin Feng suddenly woke up from his seat at the table, panting heavily, his whole body soaked in sweat.

The scroll on the table had turned back into a blank sheet of red paper, and the old brush lay quietly to the side, its bristles becoming even more translucent.

"Was it a dream?"

Qin Feng touched his face; that intoxicating, bone-melting sensation still lingered deep in his memory.

He subconsciously activated his family's secret martial arts technique, trying to calm his mind.

The next moment, he froze.

The spiritual energy that was originally stagnant and difficult to move due to its poor quality is now surging through the meridians like a river bursting its banks!

Just one cycle of his cultivation was equivalent to the arduous training he had undergone over the past three years!

A soft "click" sounded.

The bottleneck that had plagued him for years shattered instantly, as if it were made of paper!

Body Forging Realm, Level 3... Broken!

Fourth level of Body Forging Realm!

"My spiritual root aptitude... has become stronger?!"

He quickly looked inward at himself.

Upon seeing this, I was immediately shaken to my core!

Within his dantian and sea of ​​qi, the inferior spiritual root, which had been like rotten wood, was now bursting with vitality, as if a withered tree had been reborn in spring!

Moreover, golden light flowed over that spiritual root, and it was growing and expanding wildly at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye!

"Is this the magic of that pen?!"

Qin Feng was overjoyed.

He had initially thought the world depicted in the painting was just an illusion, a dream.

It now seems that cultivating with the saintess in the painting can actually strengthen one's spiritual root!

Even at this moment, his spiritual root is still undergoing earth-shattering changes!

boom!

After an unknown amount of time, his spiritual root was finally reshaped!

A dazzling white light shot up from the top of his head!

At this moment, Qin Feng was immersed in cultivation and did not notice the white light shooting into the sky.

Little did they know, this white light broke through the house and shot straight into the sky!

Meanwhile, in the Lin family's secret room next to Qin Feng's house.

Lin Yi, the only son of the Lin family, was awakening his spiritual root by holding the Marrow Cleansing Jade.

A long rainbow floated three feet above his head.

At this moment, however, due to the white light drawn by Qin Feng, the long rainbow was carried by the white light and broke through the roof, soaring straight into the sky!

Qin Feng's light instantly swallowed Lin Yi's faint light, and exploded into a huge divine light covering a radius of hundreds of miles above the Lin family!

The world changed color, and spiritual energy flowed backward!

This scene immediately stunned Lin Zhengnan and Lin Yuyan, who were guarding the Dharma, and they hurriedly rushed out of the secret chamber.

Looking up, one could see the sky above the Lin family compound shimmering with light, as if it were a divine miracle!

"This...this is..."

Lin Zhengnan burst into tears: "This is an extraordinary phenomenon! This is the legendary auspicious omen sent from heaven!!"

"We originally thought that after Yi'er used the Marrow Cleansing Jade, the rainbow that flew three feet away from his body would at most reach the edge of a top-grade spiritual root, but we never expected... we never expected that it would eventually break through the roof and cause a celestial phenomenon!"

"My son, Lin Yi, has the potential to become an emperor!!"

Lin Zhengnan was incredibly excited: "Luckily, I was decisive and didn't give this treasure to that good-for-nothing Qin Feng, which is why my son has such a powerful talent!"

Lin Yuyan had some doubts in her heart...

The rainbow that was just above my brother's head has almost disappeared, hasn't it?

Why did such a strange phenomenon suddenly erupt again?

But on second thought, perhaps it's about breaking down the old and building the new!

Her face lit up with ecstatic joy: "Congratulations, Father! My brother has caused such a strange phenomenon; tomorrow's test will surely shake the entire sect!"

The father and daughter were overjoyed, but they had no idea that the strange phenomenon they saw was not caused by Lin Yi, but by Qin Feng, whom they completely despised.

……

This earth-shattering phenomenon instantly alarmed the entire Qingyun Sect.

Countless powerful figures from various sects rose into the air, gazing towards the direction of the Lin family.

"The direction of the Lin family? Who is awakening their spiritual root there?"

"I heard it's Lin Yi, the only son of the Lin family!"

"Hiss—this child is terrifyingly powerful, he even resembles a Qilin!"

"The last time such a magnificent phenomenon occurred was with Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"

The news spread like wildfire throughout the sect: the Lin family has produced a prodigy!

Her talent is comparable to that of the Holy Maiden!

Inside the Saintess Palace.

Su Qinghan was calming herself down when she suddenly sensed this fluctuation.

She forcefully suppressed the image of Qin Feng's face, which filled her with shame and indignation, in her mind, and looked out the window at the divine light filling the sky.

"The Lin family... they actually managed to cause such a strange phenomenon!"

"This phenomenon is almost identical to the one I experienced when I awakened my spiritual root..."

Su Qinghan took a deep breath, and a trace of clarity and dignity returned to her beautiful eyes.

"Looks like I'll have to go check out the awakening test tomorrow."

As for Qin Feng...

A complex, cold glint flashed in Su Qinghan's eyes.

……

As dawn broke, a pale white light appeared on the horizon.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, with a faint layer of air swirling around him.

As the final cycle of the universe completed, he slowly opened his eyes, a fleeting glint of light flashing within them.

"call……"

He exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the surging spiritual energy within his body, his face filled with unbelievable joy.

"Body Forging Realm, fourth level... and it's already stabilized at the mid-stage!"

It was only a little over an hour of cultivation!

You should know that in the past, with his mottled and messy inferior spiritual root, it would have taken him at least three days and three nights to make his spiritual energy circulate through his meridians for a full cycle, and he would only retain one-tenth of the absorbed spiritual energy.

But last night, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to have found an outlet for floodwaters, pouring into his body wildly without any obstruction!

"This cultivation speed... I'm afraid even Lin Yuyan, who possesses a superior-grade ice spiritual root, can't compare, right?"

Qin Feng was filled with excitement.

Although it is still impossible to accurately determine the current grade of the spiritual root, the changes brought about by this divine pen are absolutely heaven-defying!

If you want to know the specific level of your spiritual root, you still need to go to the sect to take a test.

Just then, a soft rustling sound came from beside me.

Qin Feng concealed his aura and turned to look.

Lin Wan'er was rubbing her sleepy eyes as she peeked out from under the covers.

Perhaps because she was new to such matters, her pretty face had a touch of languid charm.

The brocade quilt slipped down, revealing a section of her fair and rounded shoulder, as white as a lotus root, with some ambiguous red marks still remaining on it.

Seeing Qin Feng staring intently at her, Lin Wan'er's pretty face flushed red instantly. She subconsciously pulled the blanket over herself, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of shyness and timidity.

Qin Feng's heart softened.

He reached out and gently stroked Wan'er's soft hair, saying softly, "Did I wake you?"

Lin Wan'er gently shook her head, her expressive eyes glancing curiously at Qin Feng, then at the worn-out calligraphy brush on the table that had returned to its calm state.

Qin Feng followed her gaze, his expression becoming more serious, and asked, "Wan'er, this pen... do you know its specific origin?"
