Time flies like water, and in the blink of an eye, it's the season of willow catkins again.
Half a month has passed since Lin Feng refined the medicine that day. Little Fairy Doctor, as usual, came to the outside of her secluded cultivation chamber, her hand stroking the stone wall, seemingly able to sense Lin Feng's presence.
"Brother Lin Feng, haven't you woken up yet? Fairy misses you," Little Fairy Doctor said, leaning against the stone wall , appearing somewhat frail, perhaps due to her personality.
"The Canaan Academy admissions you mentioned to Fairy are starting in three days. If you don't leave seclusion soon, it will be too late."
Standing outside the stone chamber for a while, seeing no movement, Little Fairy Doctor prepared to leave.
"Boom!"
Just as she turned and took a few steps, a terrifying aura suddenly rose from within the stone chamber, energy ripples spreading rapidly from the chamber's center.
Surprisingly, however, these ripples seemed to possess sentience, nimbly avoiding Little Fairy Doctor just before they touched her.
Sensing the commotion, Little Fairy Doctor turned around in surprise, looking into the stone chamber still filled with gold coins.
"Brother Lin Feng!"
Seemingly responding to Little Fairy Doctor's call, Lin Feng, whose eyes had been closed for half a month, suddenly opened them, a radiant light shooting out and lingering. A mysterious fluctuation resounded within Lin Feng's body.
Looking
inward, his senses flowed along his increasingly resilient and crystalline meridians. He saw that his meridians, already strengthened by his focus on physical training, had become even thicker with each breakthrough in his cultivation level, capable of absorbing more and more battle qi.
His perception flowed, sensing every change in his body. It seemed that his physique, originally comparable to a peak mid-level fourth-tier magical beast, had overcome this bottleneck with his breakthrough.
Clenching his fist and comparing it to the Dark Demon Ape's physical strength, Lin Feng was certain that its physical strength alone was no weaker than a high-level fourth-tier magical beast.
However, when Lin Feng sensed his dantian, he was stunned. The sea urchin crystal that had been there had vanished, leaving only emptiness.
Of course, Lin Feng, who still remembered the original story, knew this was because his battle qi had begun to spread throughout his body; he was simply surprised by the situation.
"That's right!"
As if remembering something, Lin Feng channeled his battle qi to his back, and a strange sensation rose up his spine. "Boom!
"
A pair of enormous five-colored wings unfolded from his back, composed entirely of energy. After sensing them briefly, Lin Feng channeled his battle qi again.
"Boom! "
Another sound of wings unfolding rang out, and suddenly another pair of jet-black wings appeared outside the battle qi wings. The two wings perfectly overlapped, giving Lin Feng the feeling that they were comparable to the speed of a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor).
Thinking of this, Lin Feng could no longer suppress his eagerness and opened the stone chamber door with a wave of his hand. With a flap of his two perfectly superimposed, enormous wings, Lin Feng vanished from his spot, leaving only a gust of wind behind.
"Ah!"
Little Fairy Doctor, who had been waiting for Lin Feng to emerge from seclusion, was suddenly lifted up by a figure of light and propelled into the sky, startling her. Only after regaining her senses and feeling the familiar scent emanating from the figure who had carried her did Little Fairy Doctor gently pat the former's chest.
"Fairy, open your arms and feel what this feels like?"
Holding Little Fairy Doctor in his arms, Lin Feng had no intention of testing his speed; he simply flapped his wings, slowly soaring above the capital.
Just as Lin Feng and Little Fairy Doctor were enjoying this rare moment of leisure, the commotion they had caused alerted several major powers in the capital.
Before the artificial lake, Jia Xingtian, unusually not in seclusion, was personally instructing Princess Yaoye and Princess Yaoyue on their battle qi cultivation.
Jia Xingtian did most of the talking, while the two princesses listened attentively, sometimes nodding, sometimes asking questions—a rather heartwarming scene.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the chair beneath Jia Xingtian exploded, but he ignored it, his expression serious as he gazed at the distant sky, a powerful aura emanating from him.
"Someone is actually breaking through to the Dou Wang realm at this moment? Who is it? And in this direction!"
He muttered to himself, shocking Yao Yue and Yao Ye beside him, their expressions filled with disbelief.
"Grandpa, you...you mean breaking through to Dou Wang?"
The usually dignified and composed Yao Ye stammered, which was understandable, considering that even some of the top ten strongest figures in the Jia Ma Empire were only Dou Wangs.
For such a powerful figure to break through right before their eyes was truly astonishing.
However, Jia Xingtian, usually so gentle and approachable, didn't answer them, only gazing into the distance in thought.
"Night, you all stay here. This old man wants to see who this is!"
With that, he unfurled his battle aura wings and soared into the sky, heading towards the source of Lin Feng's breakthrough aura.
In the Alchemist Guild's exchange area, Fa Ma, unusually, was here imparting the secrets of alchemy to alchemists of all ranks. Therefore, the usually arrogant alchemists were all serious, their eyes filled with eager anticipation.
"Hmm!"
At this moment, Fa Ma, who had been eloquently explaining the techniques of refining third-grade pills, paused slightly, a hint of joy flashing across his face.
"That concludes today's lecture. I hope you all study diligently and contribute to the progress of the guild."
After casually saying this, Fa Ma's figure flashed and disappeared, ignoring the group of bewildered alchemists. A while later, the group had no choice but to leave, still discussing in small groups why Fa Ma had acted so strangely today.
Meanwhile, within the Mittel family's residence, the Nalan mansion, and the Mu family's territory, three powerful figures—one planning business routes, the other enjoying tea and scenery, and the other cultivating in a secret chamber—
all simultaneously stopped what they were doing, their gazes remarkably unified, all fixed on the direction of the stone chamber where Lin Feng had broken through to the Dou Wang realm.
"Who is this person? I wonder if we can try to win him over."
"I was unaware that such a powerful figure had broken through in the capital. It seems the branding poison truly drained my energy. Fortunately, I had Master Lin Feng."
"Such a powerful aura! I wonder who this person is."
The same serious expression emanated from the three different individuals, yet their words differed drastically due to their varying statuses.
As if sensing something, as their muttered words faded, three auras soared into the sky. The people of the capital only saw three Dou Wang experts transform their Dou Qi into wings, heading towards the place where Lin Feng had been.
When several beams of divine light of different colors arrived at the location they sensed, they discovered two familiar figures already there. This location surprised the three who arrived later.
"Isn't this the territory of the Alchemist Guild?"
Everyone looked at Fa Ma, who was stroking his beard and smiling, waiting for his answer.
"The main character will arrive soon, and you will all be quite surprised."
Fa Ma narrowed his eyes, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Then, as if sensing something, he looked up at the sky.
"What, it's actually..."
