I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

Upon hearing the sound, Shangguan Yue's gaze shifted slightly, landing on the Yaoxing Pavilion before her.

"The Radiant Star Pavilion was personally bestowed by the Sect Master, and I dare not harbor any covetous thoughts, however..."

Shangguan Yue's eyes lit up slightly as she said softly, "I am quite interested in the owner of Yaoxing Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xu's expression suddenly darkened: "You mean Lin Feng?"

"It is indeed Junior Brother Lin."

Shangguan Yue smiled, her eyes filled with admiration, and said, "He is young, but his combat strength is extremely formidable, and his talent is comparable to that of Senior Brother Lu."

"It would be a good thing to befriend this person."

These words reached Hu Xu's ears, and his already gloomy expression instantly became even more unpleasant.

He looked up at the majestic Yaoxing Pavilion, a cold smile curving his lips.

"I never expected Senior Sister Shangguan to speak so highly of this person."

"But in my opinion, he won't be able to keep this up for long."

"The news of the sect exchange meeting has spread, and Lin Chen, Chu Han, Yun Yimu, Zhou Tiangang and other geniuses are all getting restless."

"They were all eyeing him covetously, determined to expel Lin Feng from the Shining Star Pavilion."

Among the true disciples, nine prodigies have reached the Martial Core Realm, securing their place in the top ten of the exchange meeting early on.

The cultivation levels of the remaining disciples all stopped at the Spirit Sea Realm, with more than ten top experts at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm alone.

With so many top competitors vying for a limited number of spots, the competition was incredibly fierce.

The Shining Star Pavilion is a treasure trove that can give disciples a greater chance of winning the championship.

Lin Feng's foundation is still shallow; how can he hold onto this opportunity?

"Yes! What a pity. 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime...'"

Shangguan Yue shook her head slightly, then turned and walked away slowly.

Hu Xu followed closely behind, glancing sideways at Yaoxing Pavilion, his eyes growing even colder...

Inside the small tower, time quietly flowed by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Feng devoted himself to the cultivation of alchemy and finally succeeded in refining a second-grade golden-patterned pill.

He handed all the pills he had refined to Hu tide.

Hu tide ate with great joy, but not long after, due to the excessive effects of the medicine, she fell into a deep sleep with a dazed mind.

Lin Feng clearly sensed that Hu Xi's aura was steadily rising, and he expected that she would soon be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"You're lucky to be with me."

Lin Feng's gaze softened slightly.

Of all the people around him, only Hu tide was someone he completely trusted.

Fox tide's unique constitution, which allows her to survive by relying on the essence and blood of ancient gods, means that she will never harbor any disloyalty.

After observing Hu tide's condition for a moment, Lin Feng continued to focus on refining pills.

His alchemy skills improved rapidly, and he soon refined a third-grade golden-patterned elixir.

This successful completion of the pill signifies that he has already entered the ranks of third-grade alchemists, and is considered one of the top alchemists of the same grade.

After all, not all third-grade alchemists can refine high-quality golden-patterned pills.

"With my current foundation in alchemy, I am capable of attempting to become a fourth-grade alchemist."

Lin Feng rubbed his sore temples and began to attempt to refine a fourth-grade pill, the Rejuvenation Pill.

"laugh!"

The first attempt to refine it was a complete failure.

Then came the second, the third... all the way to the tenth time, each time ending in failure.

The difficulty of refining a Grade 4 Rejuvenation Pill far exceeds that of a Grade 3 pill, requiring extremely strict control over the heat, spiritual power, and the soul.

Lin Feng spent more than half a year inside the small tower, exhausting countless rare spiritual herbs, before finally refining a Rejuvenation Pill.

This pill is of extremely poor quality; it's only the lowest grade of black-patterned inferior medicine.

"Phew~ It's finally done!"

Even though the pills were of poor quality, Lin Feng still breathed a long sigh of relief and showed a look of joy.

At this moment, he was disheveled and covered in dust, and most of the spiritual herbs in the Chaos Spirit Garden had been used up.

He thought his attempt to become a fourth-grade alchemist would ultimately fail, but he succeeded at the last moment.

After calming his mind, Lin Feng continued to focus on refining the Rejuvenation Pill.

His success rate in refining pills steadily increased, and in the end, he even successfully refined a Golden Pattern Rejuvenation Pill of excellent quality.

"call--"

Lin Feng carefully placed the Golden Pattern Rejuvenation Pill into an exquisite jade bottle, then stood up and stretched his muscles and bones.

Since entering the tower for seclusion, he has spent a long time finally breaking through the shackles and becoming a fourth-grade alchemist.

During his seclusion, although he did not deliberately cultivate martial arts, refining pills and condensing fire consumed a great deal of spiritual power and spiritual energy.

The fragile foundation caused by previous dual cultivation was thoroughly solidified and stabilized through repeated alchemy and tempering.

"I never imagined that alchemy could have such miraculous effects."

Lin Feng was overjoyed. In the future, when his cultivation level was unstable due to dual cultivation, he could use alchemy to stabilize his foundation and accumulate his inner strength.

After resting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Feng moved to the gravity cage and began to temper his physical body.

He has already mastered the first part of the "Hundred Refinements Vajra Body" he has cultivated, and the second part consists of three major levels: Golden Marrow, Lapis Lazuli Body, and Imperishable Body.

An indestructible body represents the ultimate state of the body's self-healing ability.

Once this level of cultivation is achieved, severed limbs can regenerate instantly, and shattered internal organs can be repaired and restored in a flash.

Even if the physical body is blown into a bloody mist, as long as the soul remains, the body can be reconstructed.

"An indestructible body cannot be achieved overnight; it requires arduous training day and night, and countless trials and tribulations."

Lin Feng's eyes burned as he stood on the gravity battle platform, struggling to hold on until he reached his limit before slowly retreating.

Once his physical body and spiritual power had recovered, he diligently practiced the "Cangxuan Steps to Heaven" and the "True Martial Fist to Break the Sky," daring not to slack off in the slightest.

What surprised Lin Feng the most during this seclusion was the ancient god's essence blood within his body.

The essence of the ancient god is a supreme divine object. As his cultivation progressed, his understanding of the laws of water became increasingly profound.

With just a thought, the water elements that roam the world will continuously gather around you.

It should be noted that even the core disciples of the Hundred Refinements Sect need to cultivate to the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm before they can barely activate a trace of the power of law.

Despite being only at the fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, he could easily control the laws of water, far surpassing his peers.

In addition, the essence and blood were also filled with wisps of dark, cold energy.

"This should be the extreme cold primordial power inherent in the essence blood of the Xuan Shui Ancient God, comparable to a natal divine power, and its power far exceeds that of an ordinary flying sword."

"Once you learn a finger technique to cover your tracks, you can use this power to conceal your tracks and no one will be able to see through your disguise."

Once Lin Feng had made up his mind, he suddenly thrust out a finger.

A jet-black finger beam shot out through the air, and the void instantly froze wherever it passed.

Layers of frost spread outwards, and a biting cold swept across the land.

"This move will be called the Netherworld Finger."

Lin Feng smiled faintly, and with a thought, stepped out of the small tower.

At this time, only about ten days had passed in the outside world, and the turmoil surrounding Qin Tao's matter should have already subsided.

I wonder if the sect has found any clues.

Lin Feng walked out of Yaoxing Pavilion and saw that there was no one around. Without thinking much about it, he went straight to find out what was going on.

Upon learning that the elder had already completed the investigation and had not pursued the matter further, the weight on his heart finally lifted.

He then went to the Hall of Affairs and spent his merit points to exchange for a Xuan-level finger technique.

Although it consumed a lot of merit points, it was all worth it to be able to perfectly conceal the Netherworld Finger.

"Junior Brother Lin!"

Lin Feng had just returned to Yaoxing Pavilion and had not yet entered when he was stopped by a shout.

He turned around and saw that the person who had come was Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng strode forward, a smile on his face.

"Senior Brother Lu and his disciples are hosting a banquet at Zuihuan Tower. Everyone is here except you. Come with me quickly!"

"A banquet?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly and politely declined, "Senior Brother Luo, I have some trivial matters to attend to, so I won't join in the fun."

Luo Cheng reached out to block his path: "Junior Brother Lin, the exchange meeting is approaching. Don't you want to find out some crucial information?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng raised an eyebrow: "What exchange meeting?"

He had been in seclusion for a long time and was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.

"Come with me to Zuihuanlou first. Everyone is waiting. I'll explain everything to you on the way."

Without saying a word, Luo Cheng grabbed Lin Feng and quickly headed towards Zuihuanlou.
