Outside the ancient-style Tianlin mansion, people came and went. The news of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance’s destruction and the change of ownership of Tianlin mansion had once become the hottest topic in Big Market City. However, life had to go on, and people had already become accustomed to it by now.

On the square outside Tianlin mansion, Luo Feng stopped and said to Lin Hongyi beside him:

"Although fighting is forbidden in Big Market City, open spears are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are harder to guard against. Being outside alone, unexpected events are inevitable. During this time, stay in the City Lord Mansion. I’ll arrange a quiet place for you to facilitate your cultivation."

"Hmm, thank you."

Lin Hongyi knew that Luo Feng was referring to the Evil Saber.

The Evil Saber’s demeanor was ruthless and cunning and might not adhere to Big Market City’s ban. Although she was confident in escaping from the Evil Saber, she now planned to charge towards the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm and couldn’t risk any mistakes. Living in the City Lord Mansion was evidently the best choice.

The two walked side by side towards Tianlin mansion, and Lin Hongyi asked, "You mentioned a method to help me break through the realm just now, what is it?"

Luo Feng turned his head and said, "I was able to break through to Small Success in the Refining Body Realm using this method, but I’m not sure if it will work for you."

"You’re willing to tell me?"

Lin Hongyi’s beautiful eyes were as bright as stars. She had cultivated the Golden Jade God Form Skill to the ninth level and had hit a bottleneck, unable to further advance to the tenth level and cultivate the Gold and Jade Colored Glaze Body.

If what Luo Feng said was true, then this method might help her break through the current bottleneck. Once she cultivated the Gold and Jade Colored Glaze Body, her strength would surely multiply several times over.

Luo Feng didn’t mind and said, "This time we’re teaming up against the Evil Saber. The stronger you are, the greater our chances of winning. However, this method is very dangerous. It’s up to you to decide whether to try it."

"Very dangerous? Let’s hear it."

Lin Hongyi’s eyes gleamed with curiosity, without a trace of fear.

Luo Feng knew Lin Hongyi’s character and smiled, directly telling her the method of using Yin Heavy Water combined with Yuan Spirit Liquid in boiling water to cultivate, including the inherent dangers.

Upon hearing that one must strip off all clothes during cultivation, Lin Hongyi blushed slightly but quickly returned to normal and nodded:

"So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect that cultivating in boiling water with Yin Heavy Water and Yuan Spirit Liquid could have such miraculous effects. It’s a wonder you discovered it."

"Haha, I was just lucky at that time."

"In that case, I should be able to cultivate into the Gold and Jade Colored Glaze Body in a short time. Luo Feng, thank you." Lin Hongyi’s delicate face carried a faint trace of excitement, her gaze grateful.

People are inherently selfish, and not everyone is willing to share their hard-earned insights with others as knowing less gives a sense of superiority.

Luo Feng smiled gently, "Thank me after you break through. Alright, let’s go in."

Luo Feng quickened his pace towards Tianlin mansion.

Lin Hongyi watched Luo Feng’s back with her beautiful eyes, her pupils contained some unexplainable sparkle, and she whispered softly:

"If it’s only letting him take a look, Uncle Qiu shouldn’t object..."

"Hello, Young Master Luo Feng."

In front of the mansion gate, a few gatekeeping guards saw Luo Feng and immediately greeted respectfully.

Luo Feng nodded and asked, "Where is Luo Ying?"

"Miss Luo Ying is in the meeting hall. Young Master, would you like me to take you there?" A tall Martial Artist answered.

"No need, I’ll go myself."

Luo Feng shook his head and led Lin Hongyi into Tianlin mansion.

The last time he came to Tianlin mansion, he had already memorized the whole mansion in his mind and soon arrived at the meeting hall.

The meeting hall was very spacious with rows of white jade chairs. Luo Ying, Zi Ling, Xiao Yue, Xiao Sang, and others were inside, discussing matters.

"Luo Feng, how did the acquisition of the secret manual go?" Luo Ying saw Luo Feng and immediately asked.

Luo Feng said, "There was a little unexpected situation."

"What happened, was it a question of insufficient Yuan Stones?"

Luo Feng’s brows furrowed slightly. She could tell that the remnant of this secret manual seemed very important to Luo Feng.

Xiao Sang’s gentle voice followed: "Young Master, there are currently three hundred forty-two thousand second-grade Yuan Stones in the mansion."

"It’s not a matter of the Yuan Stones. Let me introduce you all, this is Lin Hongyi, an Inner Sect Disciple from Yuangang Hall..."

Luo Feng shook his head, not wanting Luo Ying and the others to worry, he did not mention the secret manual matter again and briefly introduced both sides.

"The Red-dusted Vajra Lin Hongyi?"

Luo Ying had already noticed this girl with an outstanding temperament and appearance. Hearing Luo Feng’s introduction, she showed a slight hint of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

Lin Hongyi nodded, "Yes, it’s a pleasure to meet you all."

Luo Feng said, "Sister Luo Ying, she and I plan to go out for practical training together. Before that, we need to go into seclusion for some time. Please prepare two suitable places for us to cultivate."

"Young Master, the mansion has two cultivation rooms built over the Yuan Spirit Vein under Big Market City, with Spirit Gathering Arrays arranged inside. Cultivating inside can yield twice the result with half the effort," Xiao Yue said with a smile.

These two cultivation rooms were secret rooms, so Luo Feng hadn’t found them last time. After he left, Yang Wanyi learned about their existence from the former servants of the Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance.

"Oh?"

Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, nodding, "Great, take us there."

Luo Ying was slightly surprised, "In such a hurry?"

"Hmm, this training is expected to be dangerous. I want to enhance my strength as soon as possible. Sister Luo Ying, I leave the matters of the mansion to you." Naturally, Luo Feng wouldn’t tell about the Evil Saber.

"With Zi Ling and Xiao Sang assisting, you don’t have to worry about the mansion. Just focus on your cultivation," Luo Ying nodded.

"Young Master, please follow me."

Xiao Yue and Xiao Sang led the way in front.

Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi followed.

The two cultivation rooms were in two adjacent courtyards. Before separating, Luo Feng said to Lin Hongyi:

"I’ve already asked my cousin to prepare the Yin Heavy Water for you. However, cultivating with this method is as painful as having knives on the rack. If you can’t endure it, you might get hurt. Consider it carefully."

"Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile."

Seeing Luo Feng speak earnestly, Lin Hongyi knew it wouldn’t be simple, but that only spurred her competitive spirit. If Luo Feng could persist, she definitely could as well.

"About how long will it take you to break through to the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm?" Luo Feng asked.

Lin Hongyi thought for a moment and said, "Half a month to a month, the exact time depends on the effect of the Yuan Spirit Liquid."

Luo Feng nodded. The ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm was the Sky Pass within the realm and breaking through wasn’t that simple.

He had relied on the Purple Jade Ascending Qi Pill back then, taking ten days. Lin Hongyi’s confidence in breaking through within a month was already considered fast.

"Alright, I’ll go cultivate first, you should hurry too. Your opponent is Blood Cloud Fire Dragon Lu Xiao Yun, and if you can’t elevate your cultivation to the late ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm before the tournament starts, beating him won’t be easy," Lin Hongyi said.

Luo Feng nodded: "I know."

Lin Hongyi said no more, turned around and followed Xiao Yue into the courtyard on the left, while Luo Feng and Xiao Sang entered the courtyard on the right.

"Xiao Sang, where is the cultivation room?"

The courtyard was quite ordinary, with just an open space about a hundred meters in diameter, a bamboo grove, and a small building, nothing else.

"Young... young master, please wait a moment."

Being alone with Luo Feng, Xiao Sang seemed even more nervous, her face flushed red all the way to her neck as she walked to the edge of the square. She took out a one-grade yuan stone with her small hand and placed it in a small depression on the ground.

Rumble!

The ground shook slightly, and the center of the square sank, revealing a staircase that emitted a hazy jade glow, mysterious and enchanting.

Gazing at the staircase, Luo Feng thought to himself: The cultivation room is built underground, no wonder I didn’t find it last time.

"Young master... the cultivation room is just down here. Xiao Sang wishes young master success in your cultivation," Xiao Sang said.

"Okay." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Luo Feng smiled, reached out to ruffle Xiao Sang’s pretty short hair, and directly entered the staircase.

Xiao Sang stood at the entrance, watching Luo Feng’s back. She reached out her right hand, emulating Luo Feng’s earlier gesture, touching her own head, her little mouth pursed, a pair of innocent eyebrows gently knitted, as if pondering something.

"I wonder how deep this cultivation room actually is..."

Walking down the stairs for a long time, Luo Feng still hadn’t reached the bottom, which surprised him quite a bit. He estimated that he was now some thirty to forty meters below the surface.

After a while, his view suddenly cleared, and he entered a stone chamber.

"This cultivation room is quite nice."

Looking around, Luo Feng couldn’t help but nod.

The stone chamber was extremely spacious, over a hundred meters in length and width. It also contained an underground martial arts arena. The walls and floor were covered with palm prints, sword marks, and saber qi slashes, of varying depths.

Luo Feng walked into the martial arena and suddenly felt his body become several times heavier than usual, realizing that the walls and floor of the arena were paved with the extremely hard profound weight stone.

This mineral, not only extremely hard, has the characteristic of increasing gravity. Some large families use profound weight stone to create martial arenas to temper the bodies of martial artists.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Feng felt that the yuan qi here was many times more concentrated and purer than the yuan qi found in three-grade yuan stones, which piqued his curiosity about the cultivation room. He released his soul power, exploring downward, wanting to see what mystery the cultivation room held.

His soul power spread down more than ten meters deep, and Luo Feng immediately discovered something strange.

Below the cultivation room was a massive milky white pillar of light, rolling like a giant dragon, containing extremely shocking yuan qi, with faint traces of red breath rising.

"This should be the yuan spirit vein below Big Market City, what terrifying yuan qi. And this is just a small yuan spirit vein, I wonder what a medium or large yuan spirit vein looks like..."

The thought flashed by, and Luo Feng retracted his soul power, sat cross-legged on a prayer mat in the center of the cultivation room, calmed his mind, and began to circulate the Divine Dragon Nine Changes.

In the end, a martial artist’s cultivation is fundamental. Only by improving in cultivation can various martial arts be fully exerted. This cultivation room close to the yuan spirit vein is a blessed place. He certainly wouldn’t miss such a great opportunity to enhance his cultivation.

As the dragon roars echoed inside his body, Luo Feng gradually entered a cultivation state, forgetting himself.

At this time, in a luxurious restaurant in Big Market City.

Inside a private room, Evil Saber sat grandiosely at a table, drinking and listening to the report of two meridian wheel realm martial artists.

"You said Luo Feng entered Tianlin Mansion?" Evil Saber put down his wine cup and asked.

"Correct. And that red-dressed girl also went in with him, they haven’t come out for a long time."

The martial artist with a small build on the left nodded.

A cold light flashed in Evil Saber’s eyes, and he laughed: "It seems these two have quite a close relationship, saves me the trouble of looking for another person later!"

Evil Saber’s eyes were like knives, causing the two meridian wheel realm martial artists to feel a chill at the bottom of their hearts, shivering inexplicably. The martial artist with a small build smiled accommodatingly at Evil Saber:

"Lord Evil Saber, we have already followed your instructions to have someone tail Luo Feng, about the yuan stones..."

Clap!

Evil Saber waved his hand, tossing a brocade bag in front of the two. "Here are one hundred one-grade yuan stones. Keep a close watch for me, and notify me immediately of any movement. Don’t worry, one thousand one-grade yuan stones mean nothing to me, Evil Saber. You won’t be short of your yuan stones when the time comes."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Lord Evil Saber."

The two picked up the brocade bag on the ground, their faces filled with joy.

They were only meridian wheel realm martial artists, earning yuan stones was incredibly difficult. So when Evil Saber asked them to follow Luo Feng, they agreed without a second thought, as a thousand one-grade yuan stones was a windfall.

Such things were not uncommon in Big Market City. Fighting was prohibited in Big Market City, so martial artists with grudges often hired people to keep an eye on their enemies, ready to strike once the enemy left.

"I’m stating the ugly truth upfront. If you let that kid run away, all of you will die!" Evil Saber said coldly.

The smiles on the faces of the two martial artists immediately froze, cold sweat pouring out, their legs trembling as they quickly replied: "Rest assured, my lord, we will monitor Tianlin Mansion day and night. We’ve also arranged people at the city gates, there won’t be any slip-ups."

"Good, now get lost."

Evil Saber waved them off. After they left, he squinted his eyes, speaking coldly:

"Kid, consider yourself having some foresight, not daring to leave Big Market City. I want to see how long you can hide. The moment you step out of Big Market City, it will be your death. The incomplete secret manual you carry will naturally be mine. Now you’re the City Lord of Big Market City, I imagine you possess quite a bit of other wealth too..."

He was not a greenhorn in the jianghu, naturally not believing that Luo Feng wouldn’t notice being followed by a few meridian wheel realm martial artists. But even if he was discovered, it didn’t matter. Big Market City only had two gates; it was impossible to hide one’s tracks.

His only concern was Luo Feng staying put in Big Market City. But that was unlikely either.

With only two months until the New Dragon List Conference, the opponent, being an inner sect disciple of Linglong Hall, would surely return to the Golden Palace.

Additionally, to Evil Saber, it was actually beneficial for Luo Feng not to leave now. He worried that the mad woman from the Wild tribe might still be near Big Market City, so delaying departure for a while would be much safer.

Feeling pleased, Evil Saber took a swig of wine.

Time passed day by day like a stellar spin.

On the fifth day.

Inside the cultivation room, Luo Feng opened his eyes slowly, exhaling a breath, his eyes gleaming brightly.

"This truly is a blessed place."

Five days of cultivation in the room led to a noticeable advancement in Luo Feng’s cultivation, equivalent to half a month’s hard work in the past, saving him three times the effort.

Of course, this wasn’t solely due to the yuan spirit vein. Big Market City is situated on the edge of the Red Flame Desert, with the Earth Core Fire Fiend below. The construction of this cultivation room was extremely meticulous, positioned where the Earth Core Fire Fiend can’t harm but instead aids martial artist cultivation. With both the yuan spirit vein and the Earth Core Fire Fiend, he achieved this level of cultivation effect.

"With this, I have hope of breaking through to the mid-tier Spiritual Rotation Realm Ninth Rank in a short time. By then, even in single combat, I could stand up to Evil Saber to some extent..."

The thought flashed, and Luo Feng quickly calmed himself, continuing to cultivate.
