Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"What is this long-lost feeling...?"

Subconsciously raising his left arm, Lu Feng's eyes narrowed, then he smiled, "Hehe, not only has my Yuan Power increased significantly, but my physical strength has also increased several times over. Is this the mystery of the Thunder Crystal...?"

He once had his left arm severed. Even though he later took the Life-Generating Bone-Strengthening Pill and his limb regenerated, his left arm was still weak and thin, and he could only exert half the strength of an ordinary martial artist.

Now that he has refined and absorbed the lightning crystal that Lin Xiaoyu spat out, Lu Feng's originally weak and thin left arm has finally returned to its peak. It has not only more than doubled in size, but its strength has also been fully restored!

"Little Fish, I will never forget this kindness..."

"I will definitely find you...!"

Having familiarized himself with the strength of his left arm, Lu Feng's eyes regained their resolve, and he once again disappeared into the ancient well.

More than a month has passed since the discovery of the Zhongwang Tomb site. Not only the surrounding forces of Wuping County, but also the established forces of other counties and cities in Dongyun Kingdom have all been drawn to the scene, making it a gathering of heroes.

In the past, in order to take care of Lin Xiaoyu, Lu Feng did not choose to go deep into the Zhongwang Tomb ruins, but only explored the outer perimeter. Now that the former has left, he naturally has no more concerns.

After all, the owner of the Loyal King's Tomb was the most powerful vassal king of the Yan Han Dynasty a thousand years ago, and the treasures and opportunities he left behind were extraordinary. Lu Feng naturally did not want to miss it.

...

In a secluded tavern in Zhenman City, Nanyang Prefecture

"Waiter, another pot of barley wine, please."

Shaking the empty wine jug in her hand, Lin Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes flashed with boredom as she turned to look at the counter beside her.

"Alright, sir! Please wait a moment...!"

Beside the counter, a gray-clad servant was busy as a bee.

This place is one of the nine prefectures of Dongyun Kingdom, and a border city of Nanyang Prefecture. There are many martial artists coming and going, and the martial arts practice is also very popular. It is no weaker than Wuping Prefecture, which is the top of the nine prefectures.

This is because Nanyang County is right next to the vast and boundless land of the Southern Barbarians, and the Zhenman City under Lin Xiaoyu's feet is the last pass. As long as you cross the Zhenman City, you can enter the land of the Southern Barbarians.

As for the reason why Lin Xiaoyu traveled thousands of miles to Zhenman City, it was very simple: he wanted to join the Taiji Sword Sect.

Legend has it that the Taiji Sword Sect is the number one sect in the four kingdoms of Lingnan, with countless experts and geniuses within its ranks. Among them are many Spirit Soul Realm experts and peerless prodigies who have comprehended the true essence of swordsmanship. It is a sacred place of cultivation that is revered by the younger generation of martial artists in the four kingdoms of Lingnan.

However, the Taiji Sword Sect's mountain gate is not located within the territory of the four kingdoms of Lingnan, but rather isolated in the southern barbarian lands, making it quite mysterious.

"Hey, little beauty, why are you drinking alone here all by yourself?"

Just as Lin Xiaoyu was waiting for the waiter to serve the wine, a mocking and lewd male voice came from the side.

The next moment, a long-haired man dressed in a yellow robe with a precious sword at his waist slowly walked over. His eyes kept glancing at Lin Xiaoyu's slightly protruding chest, his gaze gleaming with lewdness. He looked like an old lecher.

"Little beauty, drinking alone is so lonely. Why don't you let your brother keep you company?"

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyu ignored him, the man in the yellow robe didn't care at all. Instead, he moved closer even more boldly, grabbed her hand, and looked at her with even more unrestrained eyes.

"Let go of me!"

When the man in the yellow robe grabbed her wrist, a hint of panic flashed across Lin Xiaoyu's eyes, which then turned into a cold and stern expression.

"Let go?"

"My little beauty, you've fallen into my hands, how could I bear to let you go..."

Faced with Lin Xiaoyu's rebuke, the man in the yellow robe grinned lewdly and raised his hand to grab her slender waist, clearly showing his audacity and disregard for everyone else.

"You scoundrel, you're asking for death!"

A murderous glint flashed in Lin Xiaoyu's eyes. Immediately, her left hand transformed into a palm strike, delivering a powerful blow to the vital spot on the yellow-robed man's chest.

"ah...!"

The man in the yellow robe screamed after suffering a severe blow to his chest. He then coughed up blood and staggered back more than ten meters, knocking over countless tables and chairs along the way, before finally collapsing to the ground in a disheveled state, his eyes filled with terror.

"You...you...how is this possible?!"

The man in the yellow robe stared at Lin Xiaoyu in disbelief. His face was deathly pale, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he was in excruciating pain all over his body, as if a dozen of his ribs had been broken. He was seriously injured.

You must know that he was a martial artist at the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm, while Lin Xiaoyu in front of him was at most at the third level of the Body Refinement Realm, yet he was able to severely injure him with a single palm strike, which was simply a miracle!

"Go to hell!"

Without wasting words with the man in the yellow robe, Lin Xiaoyu suddenly unleashed an incredibly terrifying aura of thunder.

boom!

The next moment, a large amount of lightning power swept out, then transformed into countless fierce lightning snakes the size of silver threads, which immediately engulfed and enveloped the man in the yellow robe.

Bang!

A few breaths later, the lightning snake dissipated, and the man in the yellow robe fell to the ground again, now turned into a pile of charred remains. His corpse was so charred that his true appearance was no longer recognizable, clearly indicating that he was dead beyond any doubt!

After killing the man in the yellow robe, Lin Xiaoyu did not linger in the tavern. He turned and left gracefully, leaving behind a group of horrified onlookers.

"What a ruthless little girl...!"

"Killed her with a single blow! And without any hesitation, this woman's cultivation is at least at the tenth level of the Body Refinement Realm, or even stronger!"

"This guy seems to be a disciple of the Golden Saber Sect, right? I never expected him to be defeated by a little girl..."

"Rumor has it that Guan Yidi, the leader of the Golden Saber Sect, is extremely powerful, having reached the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. Moreover, she is known for being fiercely protective of her own. Now that this woman has killed a Golden Saber Sect disciple, she's likely to face a lot of trouble in the future..."

Inside the tavern, everyone was talking, but no one dared to collect the body of the yellow-robed man on the ground, nor did anyone dare to block Lin Xiaoyu's path. They all seemed to be intimidated by the other party's strength.

After all, the cultivation world believes in the law of the jungle, where strength is paramount. Even if Lin Xiaoyu is just a woman, as long as she is strong enough, she can still win everyone's respect.

"Ugh, vomit...!"

Not long after leaving the tavern, Lin Xiaoyu was about to leave the city when a sudden throbbing in her abdomen caused her to gag repeatedly, her pretty face turning pale. "Could it be..."

"An accident still happened that night..."

As if remembering something, a hint of nervousness flashed in Lin Xiaoyu's beautiful eyes, and she subconsciously covered her stomach with her hands, her face showing a mixture of emotions.

"Master, it seems Little Fish still can't leave you..."

Reaching out to touch her slightly protruding belly, Lin Xiaoyu smiled helplessly. The next moment, she quietly left Zhenman City, her figure disappearing into the southern land and vanishing without a trace.

...

Meanwhile, deep within the Zhongwang Tomb site

Before a grand, ancient golden hall, countless figures appeared, but none dared to approach the hall's perimeter. They merely scattered outwards, creating a tense and volatile atmosphere.

"Holy crap! So many people?"

Rushing to the outer perimeter of the golden hall, Lu Feng frowned and looked solemn as he gazed at the vast sea of ​​black heads before him.

Although he had expected it, he still underestimated the allure of the discovery of the Zhongwang Tomb site.

The area surrounding the golden hall was a gathering of heroes and experts. Among them were many sects and forces that Lu Feng recognized, and even more that he did not recognize!

"The Beihai Sword Sect, the world's leading merchant guilds, the Qin family, the Song family, and even the half-dead Tomb Raiders have all arrived..."

"Damn it! Looks like it won't be so easy to skim some profits this time..."

Lu Feng glanced again at the various factions' teams not far away, stroked his chin, and pondered silently.
