Knock, knock.
Li Feng heard the knocking outside the courtyard, glanced with his perception outside the door, then stepped out of the room to open the main gate of the courtyard.
"Why are you here again?"
Li Feng looked at the round-faced girl.
The girl pouted, displeased, and said, "Do you think I wanted to co? The young lady sent to deliver sothing to you."
She said, shoving the wooden box into Li Feng's hands, with a fierce tone, "This is the Solid God Pill. It was a New Year's gift from the young lady's ntor, and she hasn't even had any, yet it falls to you."
"The young lady also said, 'If you can't defeat Lin Xiong in tomorrow's battle at the bamboo forest, you might as well just ram your head into a wall and die; living is just a waste of air.'
"That's it, no need to see off."
The little fierce girl said fiercely, then abruptly turned and left.
Li Feng watched the departing round-faced girl, glanced again at the wooden box in his hand, and after closing the courtyard gate, returned to the study.
The wooden box seed to be made of ebony, with a jet-black hue that looked quite aged. He reached out to open the ebony box, revealing a pill the size of a fingernail inside.
Li Feng looked at the pill, hesitated a bit, but still decided to take the Solid God Pill into his mouth.
Although they had only t briefly, Li Feng sensed Gao Yuanyuan's care for him. She seed to have so connections with Bai Yutang's parents and took care of Bai Yutang while in the Outer Sect.
Though she left in haste before, upon hearing of Lin Xiong's challenge and delivering the Solid God Pill, it's evident she didn't see through his disguise, but genuinely cared for his impersonation of Bai Yutang.
So, it's unlikely she ant harm to him.
Li Feng swallowed the Solid God Pill, as soon as it entered, a faint fragrance filled his mouth. As the heir of the dical Saint, Li Feng was no stranger to consuming elixirs, with the Little Rejuvenation Pill for replenishing blood and energy being the most precious.
It mainly uses authentic century-old ginseng, supplented with other prized herbs, trendously costly, and with minimal production, yet its efficacy is undeniable, life-saving at critical monts.
But the rarer the pill, the harder it is to obtain. In the past, one might find heavenly materials and earthly treasures in deep forests, but now, naturally, such treasures are increasingly scarce, and just one millennium-old ginseng could fetch tens of millions.
And there's even a lack of market for it.
Previously, the Dragon Blood Pill he used to open the Divine Acupoint was sought over ten years by his grandfather, enduring countless hardships to refine it.
Without the Dragon Blood Pill, just the internal injuries would have been fatal, not to ntion opening the Divine Acupoint.
As the dicinal fragrance lingered in his mouth, a refreshing effect arose in his mind, feeling like having applied a cooling balm.
Originally, after opening the Divine Acupoint, Li Feng's spiritual power was exhausted several tis but indirectly increased its upper limit significantly, though frequent use hindered its recovery.
The situation, stronger than man, left no ti for him to slowly accumulate, making the arrival of the Solid God Pill just in ti.
Li Feng felt the joy of rain after a long drought; his once parched sea of consciousness grew abundant, so comforting he wanted to moan.
He sat cross-legged imdiately, running the dical Saint's Inner Scripture Divine Acupoint Chapter, after all, passively absorbing it is wasteful. Fortunately, the Inner Scripture he practiced had specific thods for cultivating spiritual power, and with the effects of the Solid God Pill, his divine sense visibly strengthened.
A night passed without words.
As the morning sunlight stread through the courtyard window, Li Feng slowly opened his eyes, a sliver of golden light emitted from them.
Though they soon returned to their dark black, his gaze was sharper.
Li Feng got off the bed, stretched lazily, his bones creaking, and his telekinesis surged, piercing through the courtyard, and scanned the surroundings.
The feeling was lighter than before, clearer in sight, and he distinctly sensed the expansion of his sea of consciousness.
Perhaps not on par with Li Wenlong yet, but doubled from before.
Li Feng glanced at the paperweight on the desk, small in appearance yet heavy. Previously, controlling it from afar demanded considerable effort, barely lifting it a few centiters.
Now, with a re thought, the paperweight hovered in mid-air.
Though he couldn't yet control swords, it was sufficient.
At the National Martial Arts Tournant, Li Feng missed facing masters from the Ancient Martial World. This was a chance to witness the prowess of its experts.
"It's Bai Yutang."
"I thought he wet his pants with fear and hid behind the Inner Sect sister, not daring to co out. Tsk, didn't expect he'd dare to step out."
"Did you hear? Brother Lin Xiong seems to have opened the Divine Acupoint too."
"Really, are you sure?"
"Brother Lin Xiong was in secluded cultivation for more than half a year; if he suddenly erged, there must be progress."
Sword Mountain Bamboo Forest.
Yesterday, in Dragon Gate Town, Li Feng saw a bamboo forest, at the fork in the road leading up the mountain and along the river, there stretched a long bamboo sea.
"Brother Bai."
Just as Li Feng was about to leave the mountain gate, he encountered Huang Shuyao.
"Hmm."
"Brother Bai, it's all my fault, dragging you into this ss."
Li Feng blinked, Huang Shuyao really knew how to make her presence felt. In the beginning at Yan Gui Building, those guys did trouble him to show off before her.
By putting others down to brag, showing off how aweso they were.
But later when Lin Ao brought people, it truly had nothing to do with her, though Huang Shuyao likely thought Lin Ao was sent by those guys, after all, it happened back-to-back.
"Glad you know."
Li Feng didn't follow the usual script, Huang Shuyao gasped, "Brother, have you eaten breakfast? I made this this morning."
Huang Shuyao handed him so hot buns wrapped in yellow paper.
Li Feng hadn't eaten anything, neither breakfast nor dinner, as there's no cafeteria around. Aside from going to Dragon Gate Town, als had to be made in his own courtyard, and Bai Yutang's kitchen was evidently empty.
"Hmm."
Li Feng didn't refuse, took Huang Shuyao's buns, and ate them two bites at a ti, making Huang Shuyao feel a bit better inside.
"Brother Bai, that Brother Lin is said to be the fourth top expert in the Outer Sect, very powerful, do you have confidence?"
Li Feng swallowed the bun, glanced at Huang Shuyao, "Haven't fought, don't know."
"Oh."
"Who is the beauty with Bai Yutang, seems unfamiliar?"
"A newly recorded disciple this year, last na Huang, this year's most eye-catching beauty. This Bai is simply a scoundrel, monopolizing two Inner Sect sisters isn't enough, now he's courting the new recorded junior disciple."
"Utterly shaless."
"Indeed, he's so vile, only hope Brother Lin Xiong stomps him hard, gives us a chance to vent."
"Hmph, isn't that inevitable, do you really think this scoundrel might win?"
