Chapter 653: Chapter 522: Harbor No Good Intentions_2
At this moment, Hong Qingxuan opened her eyes, surprise and admiration flashing through them. She asked curiously, "Brother Lin Feng, what’s going on? Why did those Spirit Stones explode?"
Lin Feng chuckled lightly and said, "It’s because of my Star!"
"Oh!" Hong Qingxuan realized, aware that Lin Feng’s Star could devour the Essence Qi of Martial Artists; she hadn’t expected it to be powerful enough to shatter Spirit Stones as well.
Regarding Lin Feng’s Star, Hong Qingxuan felt it was somewhat terrifying, but fortunately, Lin Feng had a good nature and wasn’t as sinister as his Star, so she wasn’t afraid.
"No wonder Brother Lin Feng’s cultivation speed is so astonishing; so it turns out his Star has such a miraculous effect!" A look of amazement appeared on Hong Qingxuan’s face.
Lin Feng asked with a smile, "How is it? Is your cultivation stable? Can you still absorb Spiritual Energy like this?"
Lin Feng was worried about her cultivation stability because Hong Qingxuan had made a breakthrough just a few days earlier and was now facing another breakthrough.
"I can, let’s continue, Brother Lin Feng!" Hong Qingxuan replied excitedly. She had never experienced such a rapid increase in her cultivation and was somewhat impatient.
"Hehe, good!" Lin Feng nodded, then took out another 500,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and the two began cultivating again.
After the Spiritual Energy of the second batch of 500,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones was depleted, Hong Qingxuan’s cultivation reached the Peak of Martial Master Third Layer, while Lin Feng’s cultivation reached the Late Stage of Martial Master Fourth Layer.
Taking out another 500,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones, the cultivation continued.
When half of the Spiritual Energy from the third batch of 500,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones had been consumed, Hong Qingxuan made another breakthrough in her cultivation, reaching the Heavenly Martial Master.
This left Lin Feng speechless; he hadn’t made a single layer breakthrough, while she had already broken through twice in succession.
However, Lin Feng’s cultivation had reached the Peak of Martial Master Fourth Layer, and he wasn’t far from his own breakthrough.
"Brother Lin Feng, I feel that the Vigorous Origin within my body is too unstable; I can’t absorb any more Spiritual Energy!" Hong Qingxuan ceased her cultivation and informed Lin Feng.
"Mmm, work hard to temper your Vigorous Origin and stabilize your cultivation," Lin Feng nodded.
"Okay!" Hong Qingxuan nodded in agreement.
Lin Feng’s expression turned pensive, as he was about to reach the Spirit Realm Point in his cultivation and was preparing to break through with one fell swoop.
Immediately, he took out another 500,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones and devoured them all, absorbing them frenetically.
However, since Hong Qingxuan was present, he couldn’t fully activate his Devouring Star technique.
Flipping his hand over, several bottles of Elixirs appeared, which were the spoils of his recent victories over the Beast Elder and Xue Tianhao, all designed to enhance cultivation.
Like pouring beans, Lin Feng swallowed all the Elixirs. His cultivation had been advancing too rapidly lately, and his Vigorous Origin felt unstable. Without a brutal push, he wouldn’t be able to break through the advancement barrier.
Lin Feng’s actions left Hong Qingxuan utterly dumbfounded.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Inside Lin Feng’s body, as if oceans roared, his Nine Spirit Vortices shook wildly, continuously battering against the barrier of Martial Master Fifth Layer.
This did not last for too long; under such reckless consumption, within the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, Lin Feng broke through the advancement barrier, smoothly stepping into the Martial Master Fifth Layer.
After refining all the Spiritual Energy, Lin Feng’s cultivation was close to the Middle Stage of Martial Master Fifth Layer.
"Finally, a breakthrough!"
A smile spread across Lin Feng’s face. With his current combat strength, he was no weaker than an average Ninth Layer Martial Artist.
Once he enhanced his physique further and cultivated the Wood Attribute Technique he’d purchased from the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, his strength would surge again.
Lin Feng felt that with his current strength, once he reached the Martial Master Sixth Layer, he should be able to contend with an average True Xuan Realm First Layer Martial Artist.
The Great Five Elements Chaos Divine Technique made his combat strength even more formidable.
Next, Lin Feng spent the time it takes to drink a cup of tea absorbing one million Middle Grade Spirit Stones, raising his physical strength to a level comparable to that of a Seventh Layer Martial Artist.
All of this, Lin Feng did in front of Hong Qingxuan, without hiding anything, showing a considerable amount of trust in her.
Afterward, Lin Feng took out the Wood Attribute Technique he had purchased from the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and carefully studied it.
This technique, known as the attribute technique, with a Level Six Middle Grade, was very exquisite, its power even greater than the Silent Annihilation Heart Method.
After closely examining it for a while, Lin Feng began his cultivation.
Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan had stayed within the Void Divine Map for half a month, and only after half a month did the two emerge from it.
After leaving the Void Divine Map, both of them looked spirited and full of energy.
Hong Qingxuan’s cultivation had leaped from the Heavenly Martial Master Second Layer to the Heavenly Martial Master Fourth Layer. The explosive increase in cultivation and a surge in strength naturally brought her great pleasure.
As for Lin Feng, both his cultivation and physical strength had taken another step forward, and coupled with the King Level power of the Five Elements Attribute techniques gathering, it was incalculable how much his power had increased.
The Great Five Elements Chaos Divine Technique, once practiced to the late stages, one could achieve Five Elements Unification, turning chaotic and accomplishing the Primordial Chaos Body. Of course, Lin Feng was still far away from such a state. Even just the power of the Five Elements Vigorous Origin was already very satisfying to him.
Half a month had passed, and the two joined the auction held by the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.
The scale of this auction was quite grand, and the person hosting the auction was still Ming Yu.
However, Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan did not participate in the bidding. The two of them just watched quietly from a private room, and until the end of the auction, they had not made a single bid.
Lin Feng was currently not lacking anything, and general treasures truly couldn’t catch his eye.
The items from Lin Feng’s were all auctioned at no low prices, with the Silent Annihilation Heart Method fetching a high price of five million five hundred and fifty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and the Wanxiang Divine Skill auctioned for three million eight hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
After the auction ended, Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan didn’t leave, but waited in the private room for Ming Yu’s arrival.
As expected, after a short time, Ming Yu came to the private room where Lin Feng was.
"Master, your thirty-two items were auctioned off for a total of seventeen million eight hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones. We take a commission of one million seven hundred and eighty thousand, and after deducting the twelve million you previously spent on the Wood attribute technique, there is still four million and twenty thousand left."
Ming Yu handed a Storage Bag to Lin Feng, saying, "Here are four million and twenty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, please count them."
Lin Feng took the Storage Bag, gave it a casual check, and then put it away.
"Elder Ming Yu, since the auction has ended, we shall take our leave!" Lin Feng bowed his fists to the other party.
"Master, please wait!" Ming Yu spoke out to stop Lin Feng.
Immediately after, Ming Yu, twisting her waist like a Water Snake, came to Lin Feng’s side, smiling alluringly, "Master, if you have more treasures to auction in the future, you could come directly to me. I will only take a five percent commission from you."
Ming Yu approached, and Lin Feng instantly felt a bewitching fragrance wafting over. He hastily stepped back and said, "If there’s a chance, I will come."
Of course, Lin Feng was just saying it casually. He owned a Black Iron VIP card from the Heaven and Sea Pavilion, and it would be the most cost-effective to go there for any large transactions in the future.
Seeing Lin Feng deliberately keeping a distance, a flash of disappointment appeared in Ming Yu’s eyes.
"Hehe! Well, I hope there can be a cooperation with the master in the future."
Ming Yu smiled charmingly, and a Jade Talisman appeared in her hand, handing it to Lin Feng, "This Jade Talisman is a Communication Talisman refined by myself. Within a range of three hundred thousand miles, you can contact me, the master must take it."
"This... Alright then!"
Lin Feng, not wishing to refuse, took the Communication Talisman from her.
Then, he bowed his fists again to the other party, and left the private room together with Hong Qingxuan, departing from the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.
In the private room, Ming Yu’s lips curled up and she murmured to herself, "His determination is unwavering indeed, truly a monstrous genius."
Ming Yu was quite confident in her own charm. Which man wouldn’t be dazzled by her, utterly enchanted? But when Lin Feng saw her, his gaze remained clear and unaffected both times.
Although Lin Feng had someone by his side with an unrivaled beauty like Hong Qingxuan, how could this tender girl compare with her?
After Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan left the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, they did not stay in Beigong City, and immediately began their return to the Heavenly Spirit Sect.
"Big brother Lin Feng, that Ming Yu seemed to harbor ill intentions towards you."
Having left Changgong Island, Hong Qingxuan’s lips pursed. As a woman, she naturally felt Ming Yu’s intentional or unintentional seduction of Lin Feng, but Lin Feng’s actions had pleased her greatly.
"Maybe! But it is unlikely that I will ever have any dealings with her in the future!" Lin Feng shook his head upon hearing this.
"That’s good!"
Hong Qingxuan let out a sigh of relief, "This woman is not without a reputation; not only does she possess outstanding beauty, but she is also a Level Five Artifact Refiner, I don’t know how many men she has entranced."
Lin Feng was surprised upon hearing this. She was a Level Five Artifact Refiner!
Just as Lin Feng was about to speak, at that moment, a sudden change occurred – an overwhelming killing intent suddenly poured down from the sky above.
