At this moment, Canaan Academy was in its free break period. It was the height of spring, and with the young men and women coming and going, a romantic atmosphere permeated the air.
However, Lin Feng, standing at the entrance of the academy's public dining hall, looked somewhat embarrassed. Inside, there was a group of rather boisterous female students whose behavior was, well, rather, quite feisty.
"Ahem."
Having already turned his back to the dining hall for a while, Lin Feng, sensing that the group of female students wasn't going to stop anytime soon, could only cough a few times as a reminder.
"Ah!"
This sound immediately startled the group, who were engrossed in their game. The people from the Gama Empire only felt that the figure was somewhat familiar, but Little Fairy Doctor recognized him at a glance as her Lin Feng brother, and immediately blushed.
After noticing the commotion stop, Lin Feng waited a while before turning around and looking at the group who had finished tidying up. He nodded in greeting first, then walked straight towards Little Fairy Doctor.
Normally, upon seeing such a handsome young man, numerous female admirers would have already rushed forward to flirt with him. However
, they seemed somewhat reserved this time, simply because Lin Feng, this flamboyant fellow, was always dressed in the robes signifying his elder status. The reason? He simply thought the clothes made him look cool.
"Greetings, Elder!"
As Lin Feng approached, everyone quickly stood up to greet him, to which Lin Feng responded with a smile.
"Brother Lin Feng, you've emerged from seclusion!"
Although Little Fairy Doctor was a little embarrassed that Lin Feng had discovered her crazy antics, she still greeted Lin Feng after gently smoothing her slightly disheveled hair.
"Yes, let's go for a walk!"
After nodding to the many female classmates, Lin Feng and Little Fairy Doctor walked hand in hand out of the cafeteria. Once the two had gone some distance, the girls patted their chests in relief.
"Who is this elder? He's so young! If Xian'er hadn't called him 'brother,' I'd suspect some shameless old man pretending to be him!"
"Yes, yes, just such a handsome and young elder. I'll have to ask Xian'er later if he's her sweetheart. I have to make my move!"
"Tch, you old woman, you always say that. It's been a month since school started, and you always drop out halfway through."
"You, Han Wan'er, I'll fight you to the death!"
Amidst the chaos, the numerous female admirers went completely wild.
Walking in this season of blooming flowers, the two, who hadn't seen each other for a month, showed no signs of estrangement. Hand in hand, they strolled among the flowers, their laughter occasionally ringing out.
After passing a pavilion, they stopped to rest. Little Fairy Doctor leaned against Lin Feng, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
After a while, Lin Feng looked at Little Fairy Doctor's profile and began to speak of serious matters.
"Xian'er, I plan to enter the inner courtyard in a while to search for something, probably within three months."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Little Fairy Doctor looked up. Although she was a little reluctant, she knew that only when Lin Feng became stronger could they have a truly peaceful life. Therefore, she didn't act coy and simply hugged Lin Feng tightly to show her support.
To divert this emotion, Lin Feng changed the subject.
"Xian'er's recent progress has been quite rapid. You've already reached the level of a three-star Great Dou Master?"
"Yes, since the seal set up by Brother Lin Feng, the essence of my poisonous body hasn't shown any signs of disturbance. Therefore, I've been able to improve without worry. It's a pity that I've run out of poison recently, and the Five Elements Pill doesn't seem to work on my poisonous body. Otherwise, I might already be at the level of a high-level Great Dou Master!"
Hearing Lin Feng ask about her cultivation progress, Little Fairy Doctor looked up and answered. This constitution, which was originally a nightmare, had now become her pride.
Gently patting Little Fairy Doctor's head, Lin Feng took out a storage ring he had prepared beforehand from his robes. Inside were the cultivation poisons he had prepared for Little Fairy Doctor. He estimated that this should be enough to sustain Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation up to the intermediate-level Battle Spirit stage.
This was already the result of him emptying the academy's poison collection with pills. After all, the academy wasn't some evil place, and having such a large quantity of poison already exceeded his expectations.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng suddenly realized, "It seems it's time to take Xian'er there sometime."
After a period of conversation, Lin Feng led Little Fairy Doctor to a cultivation room and reinforced the Five Elements Seal once more. With this seal, Little Fairy Doctor wouldn't have any problems cultivating to the Dou Wang realm.
After all, the object Lin Feng visualized was modeled after the Five Elements Sacred Beasts from the legends of his previous life. Although it only bore a slight resemblance, suppressing this mere Calamity Poison Body was still a piece of cake.
After reinforcing the seal, Lin Feng took Little Fairy Doctor around the academy for two days. Although most of the time was spent explaining Yao Chen's understanding of poisons, this made Little Fairy Doctor cherish it greatly.
Inside a secret room in the Alchemy Department, Lin Feng stood cross-legged on a stone bed, carefully reading the "True Technique of Returning to the Origin of Ten Thousand Trees." After all, cultivation techniques are of paramount importance, especially since Lin Feng's Five Elements Technique is a combination of five different attribute techniques, so he cannot afford to be careless.
"Phew!"
After a long period of study, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, except for the Burning Technique, none of the techniques he switched to require him to disperse his energy and start over. Otherwise, his abundant Dou Qi would have been wasted."
Thinking about it, even a prodigy like Gu Xun'er from an imperial clan initially only cultivated a Xuan-rank technique. If she had to switch to an Earth-rank or even Heaven-rank technique later and had to start over, it would have wasted a lot of time.
Although, for an imperial clan, this was just a minor problem that could be solved by expending a little resources.
Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't need to disperse his energy and start over, otherwise he would have at least fallen to the Great Dou Master level, and might have been overtaken by Xiao Yan immediately. Although Lin Feng wouldn't be his enemy, the opportunity was there, and he was extremely envious.
After everything was ready, Lin Feng slowly closed his eyes. He first recalled the operational route of the *Ten Thousand Trees Returning to the Origin True Skill*, which he had simulated many times before, and then gradually merged it with the original Five Elements Technique's operational route.
This fusion greatly surprised Lin Feng. As expected of a mid-level Earth-rank technique, its operational route was incredibly complex, traversing even more meridians than the combined routes of the five parts of the Five Elements Technique.
However, Lin Feng also discovered something that delighted him: the *Ten Thousand Trees Returning to the Origin True Skill* completely covered the operational route of the water-attribute technique within the original Five Elements Technique. This meant that Lin Feng didn't need to abandon his original water-attribute technique; he only needed to create more routes according to the *Ten Thousand Trees Returning to the Origin True Skill*'s route.
"Perhaps, this method of using one high-level technique to govern the other four techniques can be maintained indefinitely."
Calming his somewhat fluctuating mind, and once he regained his composure, Lin Feng truly began this transformation.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
No other sounds emanated from the secret chamber except for the strange noises emanating from Lin Feng. If someone were present and could see into Lin Feng's body, they would discover that streams of five-colored battle qi, under his mental control, were slowly carving out a strange path.
The powerful battle qi was slowly and steadily expanding and consolidating, and Lin Feng's aura was also slowly rising accordingly. It was believed that after the complete transformation of his cultivation technique, he would definitely experience an astonishing improvement.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
After countless sunrises and sunsets outside, the quiet secret chamber finally began to echo with slow but powerful heartbeats.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the energy within the secret chamber began to surge violently, even spreading outwards. However, upon contact with the stone wall, it was violently repelled. It was because Lin Feng had foreseen this and had set up a Five Elements Barrier within the secret chamber.
Compressing a barrier that could instinctively cover a kilometer into the size of a secret chamber, its power is unimaginable. This violent energy shattered the moment it touched the barrier.
At this moment, after Lin Feng's aura reached its peak, he suddenly opened his eyes, a divine light shooting out from them, several feet away.
"Hoo! High-level Earth Rank!"
A high-level Earth Rank technique can be used up to the Dou Zun level; there's no need to worry about techniques for the time being.
