Chapter 103: Chapter 103 I’m Only Here for the Loot, Please Put Your Clothes Back On (Bonus Chapter for weekly Webnovel Power Stone ranking! Thank you so much for voting!)

The food in the city’s most renowned restaurants simply could not compare.

The difference was so vast that it felt absurd to even place them side by side... it was like comparing a child’s wooden toy to an ultimate divine artifact forged by the heavens themselves.

One existed merely to be admired and the other could change a person’s fate.

As Ning Xi continued to eat, she felt her energy swell rapidly, her qi surging through her meridians with an intensity she had never experienced before.

The spiritual essence contained within the food was dense yet refined, flowing smoothly and harmoniously, as if it had been tailored specifically for her cultivation path.

Her dantian throbbed faintly, expanding and contracting in a steady rhythm, and her meridians felt warm, supple, and completely unblocked.

Her heart skipped a beat.

"I can break through... right now," Ning Xi realized, her breath growing shallow.

Ning Xi had always believed that it would take her at least five more years of constant and steady accumulation to reach the Qi Condensation Realm.

She had prepared herself for a long, arduous journey filled with bottlenecks, setbacks, and endless cultivation sessions.

Yet she never imagined that in a single night... after one cup of tea and one dinner with Lin Feng... she would close that gap so effortlessly, as if those five years had been compressed into mere hours.

The barrier separating her from the Qi Condensation Realm felt thinner than paper, fragile enough to be shattered with a single focused attempt.

For a brief moment, temptation clawed at her.

To advance here and now... to seize such an opportunity was something countless cultivators would dream of.

But Ning Xi clenched her teeth and forcibly calmed her breathing, suppressing the rising surge of qi within her body.

She carefully guided the excess energy into circulation, refining and stabilizing it instead of letting it explode outward.

"This is not the time... nor the place," she reminded herself firmly.

Breaking through without proper preparation, without a suitable environment or formation, could lead to unforeseen consequences... even grave danger.

More importantly, she was not alone.

To cause such a disturbance in Lin Feng’s courtyard would be reckless and disrespectful.

Slowly, Ning Xi steadied herself, her expression returning to calm even as her internal world remained in turmoil.

Though she had restrained her breakthrough, the benefits were undeniable.

Her foundation felt firmer, her qi purer, and her control sharper than ever before.

As she set her chopsticks down for a brief moment, Ning Xi glanced at Lin Feng with eyes filled with awe and deep appreciation.

A single meal at his table had brought her to the very edge of a realm countless cultivators struggled years to reach.

Hearing Ning Xi’s reaction, Ye Jian didn’t hesitate.

She picked up her chopsticks and took a careful bite, and almost immediately, a soft, involuntary sound of delight escaped her lips.

The flavors were rich and layered, the meat tender yet bursting with savory essence, each bite seeming to awaken something deep within her.

She almost purred quietly, savoring the exquisite taste and the subtle energy that seemed to flow into her with every chew.

Lin Feng watched them both, his calm expression giving nothing away, yet inside he felt a faint sense of amusement.

The two women before him... so elegant, so disciplined in their usual demeanor now displayed a mixture of awe, delight, and barely restrained excitement.

Their eyes flicked toward him again and again, their gazes intense and filled with an almost ravenous curiosity, as if they were sizing him up... or perhaps imagining him as the next thing to devour.

For a brief moment, Lin Feng could only shake his head with quiet exasperation.

"Why do I always end up surrounded by such trouble?" he mused inwardly, though the faint smile tugging at his lips betrayed his amusement.

Before long, Ye Jian began to experience the same overwhelming sensation.

A restless, expanding fullness surged through her body, as if every meridian within her was being stretched to its absolute limit, threatening to burst apart at any moment.

Her dantian pulsed rhythmically, her qi circulating faster and denser with each passing breath.

The pressure was unmistakable... it was one of the clearest signs a cultivator could feel.

"I... I can break through," Ye Jian realized, her heart pounding hard against her chest.

The barrier to her next realm felt fragile, thin as glass, waiting for the slightest push to shatter.

For a fleeting moment, temptation gripped her.

To advance here and now... to grasp such an opportunity without delay was something most cultivators would seize without hesitation.

But Ye Jian was not reckless.

She closed her eyes briefly, steadying her breathing, and carefully suppressed the rising surge of qi, guiding it into a stable circulation instead of letting it explode outward.

"This is not the place... and not the time," she told herself firmly.

Ye Jian made the same sensible and wise decision as Ning Xi.

She opened her eyes and met Ning Xi’s gaze. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

In that single glance, the two women understood each other perfectly.

Ning Xi’s eyes held the same restrained excitement, the same controlled turbulence of energy just beneath the surface.

"Lin Feng is truly a hidden expert," Ning Xi thought.

"Without a doubt," Ye Jian silently agreed.

The evidence before them was overwhelming and beyond dispute.

No ordinary teacher could produce such results... no ordinary cultivator could bring someone to the brink of a breakthrough with nothing more than tea and food.

This was not coincidence.

This was power, mastery, and refinement at a level far beyond what they had ever encountered.

They continued to eat, savoring each bite, but their attitudes had fundamentally changed.

The food was still exquisite, the atmosphere still serene, yet their attention kept returning to Lin Feng.

Their gazes toward him were no longer merely appreciative or curious... they were intense, focused, and burning with determination.

It was as though they were no longer looking at a colleague... but at a path.

A path to power.
