Without the Cultivation Method, Xu Feng took advantage of the ample time he had and spent three hours refining Xiang Ge's Crack Sword and the Black High-Quality Armor.
The red Armor he had just put on was replaced by Xiang Ge's superior Armor before it even had a chance to be used. This superior Armor was All-Purpose Armor, usable by anyone regardless of their attribute. Although it lacked specialization and had a broader range of uses, its defensive capabilities were slightly inferior compared to single-direction protection of the same level. However, overall, it provided much better protection, equivalent to Five Element Immunity's all-around defense, albeit with slightly less strength.
Even so, this Armor from Xiang Ge was two grades higher in both quality and defense compared to Xu Ye's Fire Element One Star Armor. With this Armor equipped, along with Xu Feng's Five Elements Body Refinement, he could almost ignore attacks from a Golden Core Mid-Stage Cultivator as long as they weren't aimed at vital points on his head.
With the Ice Spider Web, Fire Dragon Whip, and Crack Sword, along with the superior Armor, Xu Feng could openly challenge a Late Golden Core Cultivator without needing to rely on his powerful Five Element Needle Technique.
After practicing two sword techniques on the broken wall and becoming adept with the Crack Sword and the other Medium-Grade Magical Artifacts, Xu Feng instructed White Eagle to notify A Qi to return.
During this time, Xu Feng focused on his cultivation, making his Five-Element Golden Core more solid and robust. A breakthrough was imminent, but he struggled to take that final step. Xu Feng still had a long way to go and couldn't afford to rely solely on time like ordinary cultivators.
Advancing through the Golden Core Stage was primarily a quantitative process with little room for insights. The most common shortcut was using pills. Xu Feng had plenty of Fifth-Rank Pills and a fair number of Sixth-Level Elixirs. However, for his Five Elements Cultivation, it was evidently insufficient. Last time he advanced from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, he consumed tens of thousands of pills. This time, attempting to break through to Golden Core Mid-Stage would require an astronomical amount.
Before long, A Qi returned. Xu Feng handed over several dozen ripened Discontinuous Grass plants to A Qi, who was so delighted that they momentarily forgot their own surname—though they never had one in the first place...
Xu Feng said, "I need to go to Mist City; there are some matters I need to handle. I'm not sure when I'll be back."
"Okay," A Qi understood that Xu Feng summoned them back not just for the Discontinuous Grass. This wasn't the first time Xu Feng had left; A Qi wasn't surprised. "If you need me for anything, just let me know."
With numerous magical artifacts at his disposal now, very few experts in Liuxiang Kingdom could truly kill Xu Feng. A Qi felt much more at ease about this trip than previous ones. However, A Qi also knew that different levels of power attracted different kinds of trouble.
"Alright, I'll call you if something comes up," Xu Feng replied. With A Qi being a Seventh-Level Monster with extraordinary Divine Abilities, if they were to enter Liuxiang Kingdom, almost no one would be their match. Yet who could say that some powerful being wouldn’t suddenly emerge from an inconspicuous corner and strike down A Qi? Even as a monster, one must remain low-key.
Before parting ways, A Qi pulled out a thumb-sized peculiar purple fruit seed and said, "Junior Brother, this fruit is very beneficial for us; can you see if you can grow a seedling from its core?" Having tasted success before, A Qi wasn't going to let Xu Feng rest.
"Uh," this was the seed of a relatively large plant; Xu Feng wasn't sure how big Blue and White Porcelain could accommodate. He took the seed core and said, "Sure, I'll help you with that." He then placed the seed core into Blue and White Porcelain.
After chatting for a bit longer, Xu Feng turned and flew up into the air. Using Wings of the Strange Dragon to disperse a shadowy area, he headed towards Beast Reject City.
There were no further conversations along the way. After multiple refinements of his speed training, Xu Feng's speed increased significantly again. After flying at full speed for two hours, he exited Beast Wasteland. Checking the seed core in his bottle after two hours revealed that a half-foot tall seedling had already sprouted. Xu Feng took out the seedling and placed it in a Jade Box for safekeeping. Handling matters outside made it easy for Separation of Spirit; unsure about the growth rate of this seedling, he decided it was best to take it out first. With the Jade Box for preservation, it wouldn't die off easily.
Xu Feng did not linger in Beast Reject City and flew away again, soaring high into the distance.
This trip to Mist City was solely for one purpose: to find the two largest auction houses and purchase the formula for the Sixth-Level Elixir.
As his strength increased, Xu Feng became more and more interested in auction houses, finding them increasingly inscrutable. At an auction, there were nearly a hundred Golden Core experts present, along with highly skilled appraisers and immense financial resources. No sect in Liuxiang Kingdom could match that level of wealth.
In fact, the true first power in Liuxiang Kingdom was not the Six Major Sects, but the auction houses.
The two largest auction houses in Mist City were Jingcheng Auction and Gathering of the Immortals. Xu Feng had previously traded with them and had some understanding of their strength, yet he could not fully see through them.
The Sixth-Level Elixir was rarely seen in the Fairy Market, and it seemed that Alchemists in Liuxiang Kingdom found it very difficult to refine it. The success rate must be alarmingly low; otherwise, with so many Golden Core Cultivators in Liuxiang Kingdom, there wouldn't be such a scarcity of Sixth-Level Elixirs on the market.
It appeared that elixirs above the Sixth Level were as challenging as magical treasures for cultivators in Liuxiang Kingdom.
Xu Feng was certain that a significant portion of the Sixth-Level Elixirs in Liuxiang Kingdom came from auctions. As auction houses, their pursuit was profit, so there was no reason they couldn't find the formula for the Sixth-Level Elixir.
Flying from Beast Reject City, he passed through several towns and encountered some cultivators along the way. Upon seeing Xu Feng's unique Wings of the Strange Dragon, no one dared to approach him.
With his Golden Core Stage cultivation, there were few cultivators brave enough to challenge him. After several Great Wars, Xu Feng's reputation soared; he had become a prominent figure among newly advanced Golden Core Cultivators. Even compared to established cultivators, he was highly sought after. Some sects had secretly considered recruiting Xu Feng but were deterred by the reputation of New Moon Sect.
After stopping for a night in Xian City, he set off early the next morning and reached Mist City by noon.
Through layers of mist, he could hear bustling voices from afar. According to custom, Xu Feng landed at the city gate and entered on foot. He displayed his Wings of the Strange Dragon grandly, attracting attention from nearby cultivators. Some recognized Xu Feng and marveled at how far he had come since his wings had taken shape.
Mist City today was particularly lively, with numerous cultivators weaving through the crowd while local mortals smiled happily, engaged in businesses related to cultivation.
As he walked through the city, cultivators occasionally glanced his way. Xu Feng did not change into New Moon Sect's robes; he still wore his old black attire. Ten years ago, he had worn this same outfit while slaughtering various sect Foundation Disciples in the woods outside Mist City, even causing trouble for Golden Core Cultivators. Over ten years, Xu Feng's appearance had hardly changed; even a few mortals guarding the city gate recognized him.
Instead of heading to the auction venue, Xu Feng made his way directly to Lin Fangxin's A Restaurant.
Lin Fangxin took a great risk to help Xu Feng escape back then, but ultimately, they could not evade the watchful eyes of Wuhua Island. Wuhua Island had laid a trap, and as a result, Lin Fangxin was exposed. At that time, Xu Feng fled without knowing whether Lin Fangxin had been troubled by the people from Wuhua Island.
"A Restaurant" was still there, which eased Xu Feng's mind a bit.
The door of the restaurant was open, and four people stood on either side. The two on the right were disciples of the Lin family, and Xu Feng recognized their attire. The two on the left were dressed in white, with proud expressions; they were disciples of Wuhua Island.
Two round tables made of willow wood had been thrown out onto the street in front of the restaurant. Occasionally, passing cultivators frowned upon seeing the disciples of Wuhua Island and silently walked away.
Seeing this scene, Xu Feng felt a chill in his heart. Could it be that Lin Fangxin was in trouble? Although Lin Fangxin's strength was average, he was a friend worth having, and Xu Feng still owed him a favor.
Xu Feng walked straight over without fear. He was no longer the same Xu Feng; he no longer needed any Shape-Shifting Pills.
"This friend, my sect is dealing with some matters and cannot entertain you at this time. Please come back another day," said a disciple guarding the entrance of Wuhua Island. He only had Foundation Establishment Stage strength and could not discern Xu Feng's cultivation level, but he knew it was not weaker than his own, so he did not dare to be too rude.
The two disciples from the Lin family were only at the sixth level of Refining Qi. When they saw Xu Feng approaching and wanting something, they were glared at by another disciple from Wuhua Island and dared not say anything further, their faces filled with indignation.
"I am looking for Lin Fangxin." Xu Feng raised his voice, knowing that a dispute must have occurred inside the restaurant and wanting to enter as quickly as possible.
"Did you not hear clearly? Wuhua Island is currently handling private matters; if you are looking for someone, please come back later."
"Yes, if there is anything, come back later; do not disrupt our important business at Wuhua Island."
The two disciples from Wuhua Island had backing and were not afraid to offend Xu Feng; their tone became increasingly arrogant.
The two Lin family disciples could no longer hold back and spoke in unison: "Senior has manners; Wuhua Island is bullying us and trying to seize the Lin family's assets. Lin Liu Shao is negotiating inside."
"Nonsense!" The two disciples from Wuhua Island raised their hands to strike. Xu Feng's expression changed as he released a powerful aura. The two disciples from Wuhua Island retreated repeatedly, their faces turning pale in an instant, fear evident in their eyes.
As Xu Feng exerted his pressure, the two Foundation Establishment Stage disciples could hardly bear it; they felt as if they had entered an ice cave, chilled to the bone. If Xu Feng pressed any further, they would faint on the spot.
A powerful aura! The two disciples from Wuhua Island stepped back, not daring to make a sound, while the two members of the Lin family looked as if they had seen a savior, filled with surprise and joy.
"What’s going on? Who is looking for Lin Liu Shao?" One person hurried out from the tavern; it was Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu had interacted with Xu Feng a few times and immediately recognized him, exclaiming, "Ah, it's you, senior! I didn't expect it to be you..." After ten years apart, Zhao Hu had also reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and was considered a decent expert in the Lin family.
Xu Feng patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder to calm his nerves and asked, "Is Lin Fangxin alright?" Xu Feng was somewhat worried about Lin Fangxin's safety; judging by Wuhua Island's demeanor, they were not here just to enjoy drinks.
"I have heard about Senior Xu's exploits in the Great War at Nine Dragon Pool..." Zhao Hu's eyes sparkled with admiration, wanting to continue flattering him but was stopped by Xu Feng.
He is Xu Feng! The one who had killed disciples from various sects and later fought in the Great War at Nine Dragon Pool! This guy has countless lives on his hands; I never expected to run into him today. The two disciples from Wuhua Island trembled in fear.
"Let's go inside," Xu Feng said as he stepped through the door. The two disciples from Wuhua Island did not dare to obstruct him any longer and obediently stepped aside.
As Zhao Hu led the way, he said, "Wuhua Island has been causing trouble for our Lin family for the past ten years. This time, they are determined to take over our tavern."
Xu Feng understood that Wuhua Island was likely just trying to vent their frustrations; this small business of the Lin family was hardly worth their effort.
