Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Although your little lover has been captured by that old woman from the Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, it's not all bad news right now..."

Gu Canyang seemed to have discovered some treasure, and his eyes were now fixed on Lu Feng's crotch.

"Old Gu, I'm a respectable man, a straight guy through and through, you wouldn't be...!"

When Gu Canyang's gaze swept over him, Lu Feng felt a chill in his crotch and instinctively took a few steps back.

"Get lost!"

Seeing that Lu Feng had misunderstood him, Gu Canyang's face also froze slightly, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed, saying, "What kind of nonsense is going on in your head, kid?!"

"I'm referring to that half-scroll of cultivation techniques!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Canyang pointed to Lu Feng's lower pocket, which was bulging as if something was hidden inside.

"Oh, so that's what you meant. I thought you had some kind of special fetish... cough cough cough..."

"Is there anything special about this technique?"

Seeing Gu Canyang's face growing darker and darker, Lu Feng wisely shut his mouth. At the same time, he pulled out half of an ancient manual from his crotch, which was none other than the fourth-grade martial arts technique "Panlong Breath Technique" that Mu Qingxue had given him earlier.

"Where did you pick this bad habit, kid? Why do you always hide good stuff in your crotch?"

"It has a strong flavor, so it doesn't need much marinating, right?"

Seeing this, Gu Canyang said jokingly, while Lu Feng could only give an awkward laugh.

There was no way around it; he had been terrified of poverty since childhood, and being a tomb raider in the past, he had developed a habit of keeping treasures close to his body. Even now that Lu Feng had become a martial artist, he hadn't forgotten this habit.

"Although this cultivation technique is of mediocre quality, only a fourth-grade technique, and incomplete in itself, you've really struck gold now that you have the Treasure Basin in your hands!"

"Young Master Lu, throw this half-scroll of cultivation technique into the Treasure Basin. If my calculations are correct, with the spiritual energy of the Treasure Basin, it will take at most half a day to fully restore it!"

Gu Canyang spoke again, his tone resolute.

Lu Feng looked surprised. "Ancient? Could it be that this treasure basin also has a repair technique, capable of fixing any flaws?"

"Of course!"

Faced with Lu Feng's shock, Gu Canyang merely smiled slightly, seemingly unfazed. "The Treasure Basin is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth that existed in the world since the beginning of the universe's chaos. Its profound effects are far beyond the comprehension of you juniors!"

"Just listen to me, you can't go wrong!"

Although he still had some doubts, seeing Gu Canyang's confidence, Lu Feng obediently did as he was told.

After all, the other party is not only the spirit of the treasure basin, but also an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years. He has a deep knowledge of the secrets and legends of this continent, so it is highly likely that the story is true.

Swish!

After tossing the half-scroll of the Panlong Breath Technique manual into the treasure basin, Lu Feng didn't idle around. He sat cross-legged on the spot and began to cultivate.

Although he failed to prevent the destruction of Black Rock Village this time, and even his fiancée Ye Yun was taken away by the people of Tai Xuan Heavenly Palace, he still gained a lot of results.

Currently, Lu Feng has about 1,600 low-grade spirit stones in his possession, which is enough to support him in breaking through the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm, or even stepping into a higher realm!

Besides the Yuan Stones, Lu Feng also acquired many other treasures, including a crimson broadsword comparable to a second-grade spiritual treasure, the first-grade cultivation technique "Frosty Toad Poison Absorption Technique" left behind by Cui Gu, six or seven detoxification pills, and the "Bronze Giant Axe," the natal weapon of Wu Dingguo, among other treasures.

If all of these items were taken to the black market for martial artists, Lu Feng roughly estimated that they could fetch at least four or five thousand low-grade spirit stones, or even more!

"It really works...!"

While cultivating his internal energy, Lu Feng kept an eye on the treasure basin beside him, and now he showed a look of surprise.

The treasure basin shimmered with golden light, now enveloping the half-scroll of "Panlong's Breath Technique" within it, emitting a strange aura. At the end of the originally incomplete manual, new lines of writing and patterns had appeared.

"Heh, when have I ever lied to you, kid?"

Seeing Lu Feng's astonished expression, Gu Canyang stroked his beard and chuckled, clearly having expected this.

...

Before we knew it, night had fallen.

Lu Feng remained standing still, his hands forming hand seals, as if he had entered a state of perfect harmony with nature. Even the raging storms and earth-shattering events outside could not disturb him.

"Break through...!"

Suddenly, Lu Feng opened his eyes and roared, his aura suddenly increasing by more than double. At the same time, he was enveloped by a powerful and familiar sense of strength.

The eighth level of the body refining realm!

Having absorbed nearly a thousand inferior Yuan Stones, Lu Feng's Yuan Power cultivation also broke through as he wished, stepping into the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm in one fell swoop.

As for the remaining six hundred or so inferior spirit stones, Lu Feng didn't rush to spend them all at once, but instead threw them all into the treasure basin.

After all, the treasure bowl can accumulate small amounts into large sums, multiplying the value of any treasure several times over. If he spends all the inferior spirit stones he has now, he will only lose more and it is not a long-term solution.

"With my current strength and cultivation, as long as I don't encounter a Qi Condensation Realm expert, ordinary martial artists below the tenth level of the Body Refinement Realm are nothing to fear!"

Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, feeling the surge of power within his body, Lu Feng felt gratified, and then took out the Treasure Basin from his storage ring.

"Has the Panlong Breath Technique been repaired as well?"

Upon seeing the contents of the treasure basin, Lu Feng raised an eyebrow and his face lit up with joy.

The previously tattered and incomplete manual of the Panlong Breathing Technique has now been completely restored. It not only records all the cultivation methods and meridian circulation routes, but is also more detailed, making it a comprehensive optimized and upgraded version!

"The Panlong Breathing Technique is inspired by the ancient ferocious beast Panlong. Although it lacks the Panlong's might, it still retains a trace of its power. This cultivation method is divided into four major chapters: 'Control, Dance, Breath, and Fury,' also known as the Four Wonders of Panlong!"

"This technique severely tests the practitioner's willpower. Those with weak willpower must practice with caution, lest they suffer internal damage and be devoured. However, if one can fully master the 'Four Absolute Techniques of the Panlong,' one can achieve great mastery of this divine skill, possessing boundless power...!"

Having absorbed all the cultivation methods of the Panlong Breath Technique manual, Lu Feng's face was filled with emotion and shock.

"I never expected this technique to have such a remarkable origin. Its inspiration actually comes from the ancient ferocious beast, the Panlong. This time, I've truly struck gold!"

Although Lu Feng had never seen a living Panlong, the demonic power of a creature that could be called an ancient ferocious beast was far beyond that of ordinary demonic beasts.

It should be noted that even the white-feathered crane that Mu Qingxue once rode was only a Heaven-rank demon beast, and could not yet rival the ancient ferocious beasts!

"The Treasure Basin can even repair incomplete cultivation manuals; it truly deserves to be called a unique treasure of heaven and earth in the universe...!"

Lu Feng was filled with excitement, and then put the Panlong Breath Technique manual back into his storage ring.

The half-scroll of the Panlong Breath Technique that I had in the past was at most a fourth-grade technique with limited power.

Now that the Treasure Basin has repaired and optimized it, this complete Panlong Breath Technique is at least comparable to a seventh-grade technique, and may even be stronger!
