Chapter 659: Chapter 535: Shock_2
"Eighth Junior Martial Brother and Ninth Junior Martial Brother have gone out for experiential training!"
Tian Chen sighed and said, "Seventh Senior Martial Sister is still in closed-door cultivation, and Second Senior Martial Sister is back, but she has also entered closed-door cultivation. Now it’s just me alone, it’s really boring!"
"Oh, Second Senior Martial Sister is in closed-door cultivation too!" Lin Feng had been planning to find Second Senior Martial Sister An Nuan and thank her, but to his surprise, she began closed-door cultivation as soon as she returned!
"Yes! Second Senior Martial Sister said she will come out of seclusion when it’s time for the Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition, and then she plans to go to the Central Continent," said Tian Chen.
"What, go to Central Continent?" Lin Feng was momentarily shocked upon hearing this, as he was extremely sensitive to the mention of the Central Continent.
"Yes! Second Senior Martial Sister’s cultivation has reached the Earth Martial Master Eighth Layer. Among the young generation of the East Continent, apart from a few peerless geniuses on the Thousand Pride List, there is practically no one who can match her!"
Tian Chen’s eyes revealed envy as she continued, "Therefore, Second Senior Martial Sister wants to go to the Central Continent, to follow in the footsteps of our eldest senior brother."
Lin Feng nodded, with the Earth Martial Master Eighth Layer cultivation, and given Second Senior Martial Sister’s talents and strength, she might even be close to the combat power of a Martial King. It was true that she had virtually no match among her peers.
Only by going to the Central Continent, the place where the martial arts are the most flourishing on the mainland, and competing against those peak geniuses could one fully stimulate their own potential.
"Senior Martial Brother Ten, you keep on practicing! I’m going back!" After a short while, Lin Feng returned to his own loft.
In the loft, Lin Feng took out a Jade Scroll and began to study it meticulously—it was the Artifact Refining Inheritance from Ou Lianzi.
This time after going out, Lin Feng did not earn many Spirit Stones, so he had to learn artifact refining as soon as possible so as to earn Spirit Stones through artifact refining to fund his future cultivation.
Dawn was breaking, and the morning mist had not yet cleared, when Lin Feng left the loft heading to the main peak, Haotian Peak.
After three days of contemplating the Path of Artifact Refining, Lin Feng had gained a thorough understanding of some simple artifact refining methods. Now it was time for practice.
This trip to Haotian Peak had two purposes: firstly, Lin Feng wanted to purchase an Artifact Refining Furnace and materials; secondly, he intended to check out the Gravity Cultivation Room mentioned by Hong Qingxuan.
Lin Feng wasn’t in a rush to start refining artifacts since he still had quite a few Spirit Stones that would support his cultivation for a while.
However, he could not afford to slack on increasing his strength. After all, the Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition was approaching, and he would definitely be participating. If his strength was insufficient, he would only be overpowered during the competition.
Before long, Lin Feng arrived at Haotian Peak and went straight into the Spiritual Treasure Hall.
Even in the early morning, there were many disciples setting up stalls inside the Spiritual Treasure Hall.
Lin Feng did a round of the stall area, and when he didn’t find any Artifact Refining Furnaces for sale, he headed towards the shop area.
The counters in the shop area were all operated by the Heavenly Spirit Sect, which was more formal and had a comprehensive range of items.
Lin Feng casually inquired and soon found a shop selling Artifact Refining Furnaces.
Artifact Refining Furnaces were also differentiated by levels, similarly to Weapons and Cultivation Techniques, with Level One, Level Two, Level Three...
However, there were no quality tiers within the levels. A furnace of any given level could be used to refine weapons of that level’s three grades: Low, Middle, and High.
Lin Feng purchased a Level Four Artifact Refining Furnace, which cost him five hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
A Level Four Artifact Refining Furnace could be used to forge Level Four Weapons suitable for a Heavenly Martial Master Martial Artist. Lin Feng planned to start his artifact refining from Level Four Weapons.
Then, Lin Feng spent over eight hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones to buy a thousand catties of top-quality Mysterious Iron, as well as several hundred catties of Silver Essence Sand and Flowing Cloud Stone.
Mysterious Iron, Silver Essence Sand, and Flowing Cloud Stone were essential materials for forging Level Four Weapons. Since Lin Feng was only aiming to forge ordinary Level Four Weapons, these three materials would suffice.
After that, Lin Feng also bought a large bottle of Quenching Liquid and then left the Spiritual Treasure Hall.
After leaving the Spiritual Treasure Hall, Lin Feng headed towards the Gravity Cultivation Room.
The Gravity Cultivation Room was located in the rear mountain area of Haotian Peak, with an entrance that was a cave about two zhang in diameter. The cave entrance was inscribed with the words "Gravity Cultivation Room" in large, flowing characters.
The deep cave led into the belly of Haotian Peak.
Many disciples from the Heavenly Spirit Sect came to the Gravity Cultivation Room to cultivate, and disciples were frequently seen entering and exiting at the entrance.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Gravity Cultivation Room, Lin Feng walked straight into the cave.
The cave became more spacious as he walked in. After several hundred zhang, Lin Feng arrived at a spacious hall.
Directly facing the entrance of the hall was a reception desk, where an Outer Elder was dozing off on a recliner behind the counter. Other than the Elder, there were plenty of stone chairs in the hall, with many disciples sitting upright on them.
"Elder, I need a Gravity Cultivation Room."
Lin Feng approached the reception and spoke to the Elder. As mentioned by Hong Qingxuan, cultivating in the Gravity Cultivation Room required the payment of a certain number of Spirit Stones, so one must go through the Elder.
This elder was an old man who was past his sixties, with a portly figure and a bulging belly.
"Intermediate Cultivation Rooms are all full, go wait in the hall!" the fat Elder said without opening his eyes, speaking indifferently.
"Full?" Lin Feng was startled upon hearing this, and immediately he turned to look at the disciples sitting in the hall. Were all these people waiting?
After a moment of contemplation, Lin Feng asked, "Are there other levels of Cultivation Rooms available?"
If the Intermediate Cultivation Rooms are full, there should still be Low-Level or Advanced Cultivation Rooms, right?
"Low-Level Cultivation Rooms are for martial master disciples, they’re of no use to you."
The fat Elder clearly noticed Lin Feng’s cultivation level early on and shook his head as he spoke.
Lin Feng sighed helplessly upon hearing this, as he hadn’t expected the Gravity Cultivation Rooms to be in such short supply.
There were more than thirty people waiting in the hall; waiting here, who knows how long he would have to wait!
Lin Feng shook his head, about to turn around and leave, when at that moment, a youth in fancy garments walked in.
"Elder, number one hundred seventy-eight Intermediate Cultivation Room." The youth in fancy clothing approached the front desk and took out a pile of Middle-Grade Spirit Stones with a wave of his hand.
The fat Elder opened his eyes at the words and glanced at the youth in the fancy garments, took the Spirit Stones and said, "Go on!"
"Mhm!" The youth in fancy clothing nodded and headed towards the passage on the left side of the hall.
Seeing this, Lin Feng was stunned. Didn’t they say there were no Intermediate Cultivation Rooms? How come they’re available when this person asks?
Lin Feng’s face turned ugly as he stared at the fat Elder, asking coldly, "Didn’t you say there were no Intermediate Cultivation Rooms? How come there is one available now?"
Lin Feng’s tone was not very polite, and the fat Elder’s face showed a hint of anger upon hearing this.
Turning his head to look at Lin Feng, the fat Elder was slightly taken aback and then frowned, "Are you Sky-reaching Peak’s Lin Feng?"
Ever since his battle with Murong Wudi, Lin Feng had gained quite a reputation within the Heavenly Spirit Sect, and most people recognized him.
"That’s me!" Lin Feng nodded.
Hearing this, the fat Elder’s expression eased slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Indeed, there are still quite a few Intermediate Cultivation Rooms left, but they have all been reserved by others!"
"What? They can be reserved?"
Lin Feng’s eyebrows furrowed, but then he thought about how the person just now had paid with Spirit Stones, so those who had reserved probably hadn’t paid with Spirit Stones yet!
Immediately, Lin Feng asked again, "Have they paid with Spirit Stones?"
"Not yet," the fat Elder shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng let out a sneer. If they haven’t paid with Spirit Stones, then those Cultivation Rooms are still ownerless.
Reserved? Just by saying so without paying with Spirit Stones could also count as a reservation?
If that’s the case, he might as well reserve all the Cultivation Rooms some other day, and nobody else would need to bother!
"Elder, how much for an Intermediate Cultivation Room?" Lin Feng asked.
"Ten thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones per day," the fat Elder replied.
"Alright then!"
Lin Feng nodded, then with a wave of his hand, he took out a pile of Spirit Stones and said, "Here are one hundred fifty thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones. I want an Intermediate Cultivation Room for half a month."
"This...!" The fat Elder heard this but did not immediately reply, instead showing a hesitant look on his face.
Seeing this, Lin Feng’s face darkened, and he spoke coldly, "Elder, if they haven’t paid with Spirit Stones yet, what right do they have to waste the Cultivation Room for nothing? Or are you thinking of abusing your power for personal gain?"
Lin Feng’s words were very impolite and it could be said that he was accusing!
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the fat Elder was immediately enraged, but considering that Lin Feng was a disciple of Sky-reaching Peak, he didn’t want to offend him.
A flash of thought crossed the fat Elder’s mind, and a cold smile came over him internally, "Very well, Room number three hundred and six in the left corridor. You may go there!"
Lin Feng nodded and immediately turned to walk towards the passage on the left side of the hall.
