Afterward, several people appeared in the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s Qiankun Hall.
Returning to the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Lin Feng and others all felt as if they had taken a walk around Ghost Gate, but fortunately, this ti, they narrowly escaped a disaster without harm.
Cai Yun’s unusual attire, at first glance, attracted quite a few side glances within the Qiankun Hall.
"Let’s go!" Lin Feng did not stop for a mont and imdiately left the Qiankun Hall with the four others, flying towards Sky-reaching Peak.
Although Cai Yun’s attire drew a lot of attention, no one really cared much. It was common for Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples to bring back female Horned Demons from the Horned Demon Realm, and it wasn’t sothing to make a big fuss over.
A mont later, the group returned to Sky-reaching Peak, their figures landing on the spacious plaza of the peak.
"Three senior martial brothers, I’ve sustained so injuries, so I’m going to heal myself first!" Lin Feng said to Feng Shaoyu and the other two. He indeed had so minor injuries, having been pierced through the shoulder by Cai Yun’s finger, though the wounds were not severe.
"Eleventh junior martial brother."
"Eleventh junior martial brother!"
Feng Shaoyu and the rest wanted to say sothing but stopped themselves.
Lin Feng understood they wanted to ask about the Horned Demon’s affair, why they weren’t killed? And why were they released?
Lin Feng felt a headache coming on, as this matter was indeed not easy to explain. After pondering for a while, he said: "In a few days, I’ll co find you, and we can talk in detail then!"
Unable to explain at the mont, Lin Feng could only delay and then find a way to clarify everything to them later.
Hearing this, Feng Shaoyu and the others nodded helplessly.
Afterward, Lin Feng walked towards his own loft, with Cai Yun’s eyes flashing as she followed behind.
Walking into the loft, Lin Feng turned to look at the following Cai Yun.
"From now on, you’ll live here, there are rooms on the second floor." Lin Feng said.
Cai Yun was silent for a mont, her beautiful eyes staring directly at Lin Feng, and coldly said: "I’m not your maid. If you say that kind of thing again, I’ll kill you!"
With that said, Cai Yun turned around and headed straight for the second floor.
Uh!
Lin Feng was taken aback, then gave a wry smile while touching his nose, thinking this woman was really cold!
But, the Heavenly Spirit Sect is not the Horned Demon Realm, if you anger , I could just sell you and get quite a few Spirit Stones!
Not long after, Lin Feng arrived at the third-floor cultivation room, healed his injuries, and then began to cultivate.
Currently, his cultivation had reached the Third Layer of the Heavenly Martial Master, and his progress could not be described as anything but rapid. It was ti to solidify his cultivation base properly.
Soon, Lin Feng imrsed himself in cultivation.
Before long, five days had passed.
After five days, Lin Feng still had not gone to see Feng Shaoyu and the others. Instead, they ca to him first.
"Eleventh junior martial brother, what exactly happened last ti?" As soon as they t, Tian Chen couldn’t wait to ask.
"Yeah! Eleventh junior martial brother, I really can’t figure out why the Horned Demons let us go," Yun Fei also said with a curious face.
Feng Shaoyu did not speak, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Feng, wanting to know the answer.
After five days of healing, Feng Shaoyu’s drained Spiritual essence had recovered sowhat, but his complexion was still pale, and it seed that he would need at least half a month to fully recover.
"This... I’m not too clear about the specifics."
Lin Feng didn’t know how to answer them and, after so thought, said: "I once inherited from a powerful being, and it seems that this being had a debt of gratitude toward the Horned Demon race. Maybe, that’s why the Horned Demon spared us."
"Is that so?"
Feng Shaoyu and the others were skeptical but also unable to think of any other reason.
"It seems the powerful being’s debt of gratitude to the Horned Demon race was not small," Tian Chen nodded.
"Perhaps! Anyway, that we managed to escape is the best outco," Lin Feng said with a smile. Then, not wanting to continue the subject, he thought for a mont and asked seriously: "Three senior martial brothers, regarding the Luotian Peak Great Elder Zhu Wen sending soone to kill us, how are you planning to deal with it?"
Hearing this, the three pondered for a mont, and Yun Fei said: "Zhu Wen is a Martial King Realm Peak expert and also the Great Elder of Luotian Peak. He’s absolutely not soone we can oppose. We’ll have to report this matter to our master and let him decide."
Tian Chen sighed, "But master has gone into seclusion, and we don’t know when he will co out."
Feng Shaoyu shook his head and said: "This matter requires long-term planning. Chang Qi and Hou Pengfei are dead, and without evidence, even if master were to co out, it would be difficult for him to make a move against Zhu Wen without proof."
Several people discussed for a mont and decided to wait for their master, Huangfu Qing, to finish his seclusion before letting him handle the matter.
"Eleventh junior brother, we won’t disturb your cultivation anymore; we’ll take our leave now!"
After a short while, Feng Shaoyu and the other two prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"Please wait a mont, senior brothers."
Lin Feng spoke up, pondered for a bit, and then asked, "Senior brothers, are there any good places within the Xuan Domain to gain experience? Umm, preferably a place where one can make money?"
Right now, Lin Feng was on the verge of depleting all the Spirit Stones he had. Without Spirit Stones, the improvent of his cultivation and physical strength would be as slow as a turtle’s crawl. Therefore, he was urgently looking to make money.
"A place to gain experience and make money?"
The three were montarily taken aback before Tian Chen said with a smile, "Eleventh junior brother, there are countless forbidden areas, ancient relics, and treasuries within the Xuan Domain where you can gain experience and seek treasures. However, if you want to make money, you don’t even need to leave the Heavenly Spirit Sect."
"Oh? What places are there within the Heavenly Spirit Sect that can make money?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
"Gambling Valley," replied Tian Chen.
"Gambling Valley?"
Lin Feng beca interested and asked, "Is it a place where disciples duel? What are the rules?"
Tian Chen explained with a smile, "The rules of Gambling Valley are simple. You fight on the Battle Platform, and the amount of the bet is decided by the bettor. If the bettor wins, they gain the full amount of the bet, but if the challenger wins, they can only take thirty percent of the bet."
"What kind of rule is that?" Lin Feng didn’t quite understand.
"Haha! Let explain it to you, eleventh junior brother."
Yun Fei laughed heartily and explained: "For example, if you participate in a bet, you can decide the amount of your bet after ascending the Battle Platform, as well as set the upper limit of cultivation for challengers. If you win, you can take the bet you set, but if you lose, you only need to pay thirty percent of the bet."
"I see!"
Lin Feng nodded in understanding. This rule could be seen as fair, but also quite unfair.
The fairness lies in the fact that the bettor cannot choose their opponent, so they can set the challenger’s cultivation limit and win the full bet.
The unfairness stems from the fact that challengers will generally choose weaker opponents or those whom they are confident of defeating.
"Of course, there are so restrictions on this kind of betting duel. For instance, the bettor’s set cultivation limit for challengers cannot be lower than their own cultivation," Yun Fei added.
Lin Feng realized this was a given; if the bettor set a cultivation limit lower than their own strength, then there would be no challengers!
"Not bad! This Gambling Valley sounds interesting!" Lin Feng smiled slightly, deciding to make a big profit in a few days.
"Eleventh junior brother, with your fighting strength, earning so Spirit Stones in Gambling Valley should be no problem at all," said Feng Shaoyu with a smile.
"Mm!"
Lin Feng nodded and then asked, "By the way, where is this Gambling Valley?"
"It’s in the gorge between Xuantian Peak and Cangtian Peak," replied Feng Shaoyu.
Lin Feng nodded. After a short while, once Feng Shaoyu and the other two had fully explained the details of Gambling Valley, they left.
Lin Feng pondered for a while and decided to further refine his swordsmanship before heading to Gambling Valley to make a big profit.
Afterward, Lin Feng took the Heavenly Punishnt Sword and went to the square outside the pavilion, starting his sword practice.
Sky-reaching Peak was extrely quiet due to the low number of people – the vast square couldn’t have been better suited for practicing swordsmanship.
Lin Feng closed his eyes, and in an instant, his heart beca completely tranquil. When his eyes opened, they flashed with a fierce brilliance.
Swoosh!
With one thrust of his sword, a ray of sword light, extrely sharp and fierce, burst forth into the void.
His steps followed his body, his body followed the sword; his eyes, hands, and steps integrated as one. Lin Feng’s figure leaped, his sword soaring like a Divine Dragon ascending to the heavens.
Lin Feng lost track of ti, completely imrsed in his sword practice, his mastery of swordsmanship steadily improving.
Above Lin Feng’s pavilion, at the second-floor window, stood a slender figure. Cai Yun’s gaze was cold as she watched Lin Feng practicing swordsmanship on the square.
"Man and Sword as One!" Cai Yun murmured to herself, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. This youngster, only at the Third Layer of Heavenly Martial Master, had actually achieved the state of Man and Sword as One? This amazed her.
Man and Sword as One is a swordsman’s mastery over Sword Dao. Cai Yun spotted Lin Feng’s attainnt at a glance, but Lin Feng himself had no idea.
In the following days, Lin Feng practiced his swordsmanship daily. Seven days later, he felt that his sword techniques had improved significantly, and the Silent Annihilation Sword Technique had greatly advanced. Although he had not reached the Great Achievent Realm, the gap was closing.
Afterward, Lin Feng shouldered the Heavenly Punishnt Sword and set off for Gambling Valley.
