Great Swordsman
Ch.36 - Planning (2)
After receiving the box, Xu Feng chatted for a while with Xue Lan before expelling her, he was already impatient to absorb all of these Spiritual Stones.
“Tskk is better than I imagined, there are actually thirteen.” Xu Feng's eyes twinkled, he had not expected to obtain a jackpot in this village.
Without wasting any time, Xu Feng immediately touched the Spiritual Stone.
---------
Energy found: 2 units
Absorb?
Yes / No
---------
“Ya!!” Xu Feng directed his mind and pressed the yes button and immediately the number of units changed from 0 to 2. Xu Feng then absorbed all the Spiritual Stones which caused his energy surge to reach 26 units.
“Hahaha I'm rich!” Xu Feng laughed out loud, he felt rejuvenated for a moment. The panel display is also refreshed.
--------
Name: Xu Feng
Cultivation Book: Spring Storm (Foreal Realm Third Stage) +
Cultivation Technique: Shadow Steps (Intermediate Realm), Mortal Heavenly Sword Technique (Basic Realm ) +
Available energy: 26
----------
“So what should I improve first?”
Xu Feng felt a momentary dilemma, this energy should have allowed him to ascend to the advanced realm of the Shadow Step Technique or the intermediate realm of the Heavenly Sword Technique, each of which only required 20 units of energy.
“Haha I seem to think too much.” Xu Feng shook his head and laughed blankly, he felt stupid for focusing too much on his technique. No matter how high a technique he mastered, his cultivation realm was paramount.
In the end a technique was just a technique, something external whereas his cultivation was the foundation of his true strength.
Brushing aside unnecessary thoughts, Xu Feng then directed his mind towards the Spring Storm Cultivation Book.
---------
It takes 24 energies to ascend to the fourth stage, did you choose to break through?
---\=-----
Xu Feng did not hesitate and skillfully broke through, the amount of energy on the panel dropped to 2.
At the same time, Xu Feng's body underwent an earth-shaking change. His muscles and bones began to undergo a terrifying transformation and slowly changed Xu Feng's body beyond that of an ordinary human body.
The most amazing change was happening inside his stomach. The dantian located below the navel began to open up and absorb the qi energy madly from the surrounding air. The two guards standing in front of Villa even felt a reduction in the qi energy in the air in incredible speed.
“What happened?”
Xue Yan glanced at each other with the guards, confusion clearly visible on the faces of the two of them. They themselves did not know that this effect would result from someone breaking through to the Fourth Stage so the two did not connect him with Xu Feng.
Xue Yan planned to report it to Xu Feng but stopped halfway, she remembered Xu Feng had ordered her not to disturb him until he came out.
Xu Feng on the other hand was not bothered by the changes caused by him, he was currently sitting cross-legged and directing the qi that was leaking from his dantian to his entire body in order not to be wasted.
His body was further rejuvenated by the qi and became increasingly stronger. His fully opened dantian began to create a sea of qi within it, the size of one adult finger.
“Hahh.” Xu Feng exhaled warm air from his mouth when the sea of qi had formed and was stable in his dantian, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at both of his hands.
Suddenly an almost transparent pale yellow light enveloped his entire fist, the light was extremely warm and emitting a faint glow.
Swosh…
Xu Feng punched out the air which immediately produced a strong gust of wind within the room, some books on the bookshelf even fell and were thrown away by it.
“This power.” Xu Feng was astonished, he did not think his strength would experience such a huge spike. He only punched casually but the effect it displayed was greatly exaggerated.
“Simply the Fourth Stage is referred to as a new world compared to the previous stage.”
Xu Feng looked at his hands happily, he had finally entered the world of true cultivators, becoming a figure that had to be reckoned with wherever he went, a true master!
“But this smell.” Xu Feng frowned when he smelled a foul smell, he lowered his head and saw his body filled with a sticky black liquid, the smell coming out from him almost made Xu Feng faint.
Xu Feng hurriedly entered the bathroom and cleaned himself up. He repeated the bathing process three times before the liquid and odor on his body managed to disappear.
Xu Feng did not realize that the black liquid coming out of his body was more than a cultivator in general. All of this happened due to the help of the panel that brought him straight to the peak of the Fourth Stage so that the impurities and toxins stored within his body were expelled without remaining in the slightest.
Never in the history of someone breaking through and directly reaching the peak, Xu Feng's physical purity reached a level that no one had ever reached before.
“More things I can do.” Xu Feng's eyes were emitting flashes of light, he had previously obtained information from Xue Lan mentioning about the Shadow House.
The old man said that the Shadow House accepts anyone who wants to be a part of them and each of its members will receive a fee every time they complete a mission.
The reason Xue Lan knew about it was because she had once been invited by the Shadow House party but was immediately rejected by him.
“Everything can be advanced faster.” Xu Feng muttered lowly. Although he was a little unsure, if he joined, he should be able to exchange the payment he received with the Spiritual Stone given that such a large organization must have abundant resources, things like Spiritual Stones should not burden them.
“Protective Greetings.”
Xue Yan saluted when Xu Feng walked out of the Villa, he hesitated for a moment before explaining the environmental anomaly they felt earlier.
“No need to think about, it is not a dangerous thing.” Xu Feng waved his hand, he naturally would not mention that it was caused by him.
It was a good thing if the information regarding his breakthrough was hidden a little longer, he wanted to wait for anyone who was still playing behind the scenes and try to plan something against the Xue Village.
When everything was revealed, Xu Feng could deliver a fatal blow.
“Oh right, Elder Huo Tin came earlier but I rejected it based on your orders.” Said Xue Yan.
“What's the reason for visiting me?” Xu Feng asked curiously.
“He wanted to leave before returning to Huo Village, but since you locked yourself up, Elder Huo Tin only said hello.”
Xu Feng nodded when he heard that. As a figure of higher-ups, Huo Tin naturally could not leave the village for too long, his existence was still required in Huo Village.
“It's weird, has anything changed from you?” Gao Gao asked curiously as they were having dinner, he felt Xu Feng's skin and face becoming smoother and softer.
“Nothing has changed, this is just your feeling.” Xu Feng said slowly, he did not plan on telling Gao Gao his breakthrough.
Although this fat man was trustworthy, he was also sometimes unbelievable. His mouth that could not hide even the ugliness of the Gods was a big deal in keeping secrets.
