Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Brother Feng, I'll be waiting for you...!"

Ye Yun's beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She then took out a silver jade pendant with a dragon and phoenix design from her bosom. "Oh right, this is a talisman that I asked the village blacksmith to make for me. Brother Feng, you should take it with you...!"

Lu Feng once gave her fifty taels of silver as living expenses. She did not spend it all, but used some of the silver to make a token of their love.

"In life and death, in separation and reunion, we made a vow; I hold your hand, and we will grow old together..."

Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the clear writing on the jade pendant, he was deeply moved.

"Yun'er, I won't keep you waiting too long...!"

With his hands tightly gripping the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, Lu Feng's face was resolute.

"It's about time we went."

Just as Lu Feng and Ye Yun were gazing at each other tenderly, Mu Qingxue's cold reminder came from the side once again.

The next moment, Mu Qingxue's figure floated down, landing in front of Lu Feng like a celestial being descending to earth. Her beautiful face remained unchanged. "Boy, seeing that you are also a cultivator, don't say that I am heartless. This item is yours."

As soon as she finished speaking, the other party flicked her sleeve and threw an ancient-looking storage ring at Lu Feng's feet, seemingly with a sense of charity.

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng frowned, his face showing anger. "Did I say I wanted your charity? What do you take me for? A beggar?!"

Faced with Lu Feng's questioning, Mu Qingxue merely glanced at him coldly before taking Ye Yun aboard the crane, clearly not taking him seriously.

"Young Master Lu, our Grand Palace Master has always acted in this way. I advise you not to make a fool of yourself and bring trouble upon yourself..."

Seeing the tension rising again, the maid Xiaoqing stepped forward and whispered a reminder, "If Young Master Lu truly cares about Miss Ye Yun, then he should focus on his cultivation. Perhaps you'll have a chance to meet again in the future..."

Constrained by the rules of the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, she had never had any contact with men from the outside world. However, seeing the sincere feelings between Lu Feng and Ye Yun, Xiao Qing was also moved and whispered a reminder.

"You old hag! You're just relying on your little bit of cultivation skill...! What are you pretending to be, this pure and innocent maiden? Just you wait...!"

"Sooner or later, I will definitely ascend to the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace and make you kneel down and call me father...!"

Watching Mu Qingxue and the others leave, Lu Feng gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.

call!

At this moment, as if sensing Lu Feng's insults, Mu Qingxue glanced down at the ground, but did not react.

"Brother Feng, you must take care of yourself! Remember to come visit me...!"

Ye Yun, sitting on the back of the crane, looked down at the ground and waved and shouted at Lu Feng.

However, the crane had already soared into the heavens, and even if Lu Feng opened his ears as wide as possible, he could not hear Ye Yun's words clearly, so he could only wave his hand in response.

Only after Mu Qingxue and the others disappeared into the clouds and vanished completely did Lu Feng finally come to his senses and pick up the storage ring on the ground.

Although he deeply resented Mu Qingxue for taking Ye Yun away and utterly despised the storage ring she had given him, he still couldn't bring himself to ignore it.

After all, the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace is a powerful force on the continent, and it is not something that Lu Feng can currently reach.

As the Grand Palace Master of Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, the things Mu Qingxue gave away were certainly not ordinary treasures!

"Tch, I didn't expect that old hag to be so generous...!"

Lu Feng activated his Yuan Power to examine his storage ring. He was first taken aback, then his face showed shock.

It must be said that he underestimated Mu Qingxue's wealth and background.

The storage ring that the other party casually gave away contained more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones, a crimson greatsword comparable to a second-grade spiritual treasure, and half a scroll of a cultivation manual called "Panlong's Breath Technique," which was of high quality, at least above the fourth grade!

If these treasures were to circulate outside, let alone a mere Body Refinement Realm martial artist like Lu Feng, even the top ten experts from the four kingdoms of Lingnan would be envious and covetous, and might even try to snatch them!

"Phew, that was close! That old woman from Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace is finally gone. If she had stayed any longer, I wouldn't have been able to stand it anymore..."

Just then, a sullen, aged voice suddenly rang in his ears, interrupting Lu Feng's thoughts.

The next moment, Gu Canyang's figure slowly floated out of the treasure basin. His face was strange, and he seemed to be still a little scared.

"ancient!"

Upon seeing Gu Canyang suddenly appear, Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then said somewhat sarcastically, "You've finally come out. I thought you were taking a break again...!"

"Cough cough cough, Lu family brat, don't blame me for not stepping in to help you, but unfortunately my strength is currently limited, and I'm no match for those old hags from the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace..."

"Do you know who that woman you just offended is? Not to mention her formidable strength, even for me in my prime, snatching someone from her wouldn't be an easy task..."

Faced with Lu Feng's sarcastic remarks, Gu Canyang's face flickered, and he seemed somewhat embarrassed. He immediately offered an explanation.

After all, he had just acted like a coward, hiding in the treasure bowl and pretending to be dead, not daring to face Mu Qingxue's sharp aura.

"Old man, aren't you just boosting others' morale and diminishing your own? Is that old hag really that powerful...?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng frowned, somewhat displeased.

"Hehe, she's more than just powerful. That woman's strength is a force to be reckoned with in the entire Eastern Xuan Region. Even those reclusive old monsters in the Eastern Xuan Region don't dare to underestimate her."

Gu Canyang stroked his long beard and said with a hint of mockery, "Besides, the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace has always been isolated from the outside world, almost living in seclusion. Moreover, most of its disciples are women. For ordinary martial artists to deal with these people is not only difficult, it's like casting pearls before swine..."

"Secluded from the world? Like casting pearls before swine?"

Lu Feng was taken aback for a moment, but then saw Gu Canyang nod slightly and say, "That's right."

"Legend has it that the founding ancestor of the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, 'Fairy Yu Hua,' left a will stating that all disciples of the sect must purify their hearts and cultivate, abandoning the seven emotions and six desires, as well as worldly distractions. They must also keep a respectful distance from any member of the opposite sex. If any disciple violates this ancestral instruction, they will be stripped of their cultivation and expelled from the sect at best, and at worst, their lives may be in danger...!"

"So don't expect that old woman to have a change of heart and let that girl named Ye Yun go back. If you want to get her out, you'll have to rely on yourself in the end."

Gu Canyang's words struck Lu Feng's heart like a heavy hammer.

At that moment, he understood completely and was no longer confused.

Because what the other party said is true.

In this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, only strength and power matter; everything else is meaningless!

"Old man, you're right."

"Kid, you know what to do now...!"

Taking another deep breath, Lu Feng gradually dissipated the ferocity in his eyes, transforming it into boundless fighting spirit.

Although he is not yet able to challenge the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, he still has the Treasure Basin, a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, in his hands. His ten-year bet with Mu Qingxue, the Grand Palace Master of the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, is not out of reach!
