Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Let's begin...!"

Without any hesitation, Lu Feng retrieved the treasure basin and immediately began to cultivate in seclusion.

Swish!

As the Spirit Guiding Technique was activated, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the secluded valley slowly converged towards Lu Feng, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, instantly enveloping him in white mist.

"Not enough...!"

After taking out a Qi Gathering Pill from his storage ring and swallowing it, Lu Feng immediately accelerated his absorption of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. His aura was also rising steadily, as if he might break through the barrier of his cultivation realm at any moment.

"breakthrough!"

Another incense stick's time passed, and Lu Feng noticed that the barrier in his dantian was beginning to loosen. He roared again and immediately pushed the Spirit Guiding Technique to its limit.

Boom!

A booming sound came from inside his dantian, and the next moment Lu Feng's aura surged, as if he had been reborn, and he broke through to the fifth level of the Body Refinement Realm in one fell swoop!

Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the secluded valley was very thin, Lu Feng's dantian energy had already reached the critical point, and with the assistance of the Great Qi Gathering Pill, his breakthrough in cultivation was a natural outcome.

"continue...!"

Feeling the Yuan Power in his Dantian surge again, Lu Feng showed a hint of relief, but he did not stop cultivating. Instead, he poured out the remaining few Great Qi Gathering Pills and inferior Yuan Stones from his storage ring.

Because he yearns for greater power, only in which he can take revenge and protect his beloved.

However, Lu Feng was clearly not satisfied with his mere fifth level of Body Refinement Realm cultivation.

Therefore, he wanted to seize this opportunity and make a final push to reach the sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm!

Click!

With a gentle flick of his right hand, Lu Feng drew the scattered inferior spirit stones into his palm. He then crushed them and continued to absorb the pure spirit energy contained within them.

Although he had only recently broken through, he had spent the last few days in the Nameless Valley, eating hundreds or even thousands of gray monster fish. His physical strength and dantian energy had increased several times over, but he had not fully absorbed them.

Besides, Lu Feng still has seven or eight Qi Gathering Pills left, and he has only spent about half of the fifty inferior Yuan Stones. It is not impossible for him to take advantage of the situation and break through to the sixth level of Body Refinement!

.....

Unnamed secluded valley, on the bank of the icy spring

boom!

After an unknown amount of time, a powerful aura of Yuan energy, as strong as a mountain and as swift as a whirlwind, swept out. The next moment, Lu Feng slowly finished his practice and stood up. At this moment, his blood and energy were abundant, his face was rosy like a date, and even his physique and waist had become much stronger.

"Sixth level of Body Refinement Realm!"

With his right hand clenched into a fist, feeling the explosive power surging through his body, Lu Feng's face showed undisguised excitement.

Once upon a time, when faced with the combined attack of the two leaders of the Tomb Raiders Sect, he was like a weak and helpless ant, with almost no power to fight back and could only be slaughtered at will!

However, things are different now. With Lu Feng's current strength and cultivation, he would be able to fight Cui Gu and Ji Rufeng even if they met again!

"Cui Gu, Ji Rufeng...! You two old dogs, just you wait...!"

Recalling how he was severely injured and nearly killed by the two men, forcing him to jump off a cliff to be killed, a surge of overwhelming hatred flashed across Lu Feng's delicate and youthful face, followed by a murderous aura.

This time, he not only wants revenge, but also to completely destroy the entire Tomb Raiders Sect and eliminate any future troubles!

After his cultivation breakthrough, Lu Feng did not immediately look for an exit from this nameless valley. Instead, he returned to the shore and picked up a fishing rod to fish.

"Young Master Lu, are you perhaps planning to stay here forever, ignoring your little sweetheart?"

Seeing that Lu Feng had no intention of leaving after his cultivation breakthrough, Gu Canyang also appeared.

"No."

Faced with Gu Canyang's doubts, Lu Feng simply shook his head and smiled, "The fact that so many strange gray fish can thrive at the bottom of this ice spring must be something special. Perhaps there are other treasures buried there? It would be such a pity to leave now..."

"Moreover, these gray strange fish are quite valuable. Although they are not of much use to me now, they are very beneficial to martial artists below the sixth level of Body Refinement. Why not catch more now and sell them for money later!"

"Heh, you're still as greedy as ever, and you can't stand the slightest waste. I think you shouldn't be practicing martial arts or cultivating immortality; you'd be better suited to be a wealthy merchant..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Canyang stroked his beard and chuckled, seemingly not quite understanding Lu Feng's actions, yet also finding them somewhat expected.

Splash...!

Just as Lu Feng and Gu Canyang were talking, another surging sound came from the bottom of the ice spring, causing the entire fishing rod to shake.

"Another darling has taken the bait...!"

Lu Feng's eyes narrowed, and he quickly raised the fishing rod.

However, to his great disappointment, he didn't catch anything valuable this time, only a rusty wood-chopping knife.

The blade was covered with seaweed and showed no signs of spiritual energy. It was also riddled with nicks and chips. Its only advantage was its decent material, being made of black copper ore, which made it very hard.

"Tch, keep going!"

Lu Feng tossed the broken wood-chopping knife into his storage ring and cast the fishing rod again, seemingly unwilling to give up.

Before we knew it, another half hour had passed.

Just as Lu Feng was about to fall asleep, a familiar ripple came from below the ice spring once again.

"They're here!"

Lu Feng quickly raised the fishing rod.

The next moment, a touch of crimson appeared before his eyes, causing his expression to freeze and a strange look to appear on his face.

"Holy crap! How come they even have this...?"

Hanging from the bottom of the fishhook was a bright purple and red woman's bodice. Although it was slightly tattered, the embroidery on it was extremely exquisite. It featured a phoenix flying in a pattern, and the four characters "Xin'er" could be vaguely seen. It was clearly not something a man would wear.

"Xin'er?"

"Why would there be women's underwear here...?"

Just as Lu Feng was wondering, the fishing rod he had placed at another gap in the ice surface also made a sound, as if another treasure had taken the bait.

"These are... the remains of a martial artist?"

As he pulled up the rod, Lu Feng's pupils constricted slightly when he saw what was in front of him.

The treasure caught this time was none other than a skeleton dressed in a blue robe. Although it had been dead for many years, a wisp of vital energy still lingered around the skeleton, indicating that it had a high level of cultivation in life.

In addition, the skeleton's left hand was tightly clutching a fragment of a bodice, which was obviously torn from the woman's bodice that Lu Feng had fished up.

"Could it be that he is the owner of this woman's undergarment...?"

With a hint of curiosity, Lu Feng also carried the unidentified skeleton to the shore, and then began to search the skeleton for any valuable treasures.

"Huh, the Flowing Cloud Alchemist's Robe? How strange that a disciple of the Central Continent Alchemy Alliance would die in such a remote and desolate place..."

Just as Lu Feng was about to plunder the dead, he suddenly heard Gu Canyang's surprised voice, which startled him and made him stop what he was doing.
