After recovering his strength, Xu Feng visited Wujue Pavilion and sold all the Black Market Goods he had acquired. Wujue Pavilion was unfazed; dealing in stolen goods was part of their business.
With the equipment from seven people sold, he exchanged it for over twenty million spirit stones. Xu Feng then bought another identical Blackstone Shield. The Seventh-Level Puppet was no longer useful to him, so considering he would soon return to Liuxiang Kingdom, he purchased three more Seventh-Level Puppets, making a total of four Ultramen. He planned to leave Gao Jingsong at Bailu Mountain as a guardian Puppet for Koukou Group.
These three Puppets were unsold stock at Wujue Pavilion, and Xu Feng bought them all at once, much to the delight of the staff who felt like calling him their father.
After leaving Wujue Pavilion, Xu Feng replenished some elixirs at a pharmacy before returning to New Dragon Gate Inn.
In the following days, Xu Feng refined the seven Yuan Ying he had obtained at the inn. His Wood Element had reached the late stage, while his Water Element had peaked at the Late Stage of Golden Core. Each of the seven Yuan Ying possessed different attributes, and with every one he refined, Xu Feng's strength surged to the pinnacle of the Late Stage of Golden Core.
The Yuan Ying cried and begged Xu Feng for mercy, but as karma dictates, if you kill, you may also be killed. Xu Feng pretended not to hear them and continued with the refining process.
This was not Xu Feng's first time refining Yuan Ying; he was quite familiar with the process. On average, it took five units of time to refine a late-stage Yuan Ying. With each refinement, his power increased further and faster. By the time he refined Yang She's Yuan Ying, it was much easier than when he refined Yang Wei's; he completed Yang She's refinement in just eight units of time.
Indeed, within Yang She's Yuan Ying imprint, he found insights into the Great Strength King Fist cultivation method. Unfortunately, due to his significant difference in realm, despite having access to such a powerful cultivation method, Xu Feng could not practice it.
Yang She practiced an Earth Element cultivation method. The immense spiritual energy that entered Xu Feng's body did not allow him to break through to Yuan Ying; he remained stuck at the pinnacle of Late Stage of Golden Core. Transitioning from Golden Core to Yuan Ying was not merely a quantitative change but a qualitative leap that required profound enlightenment and an understanding of Earth Principle.
In addition to Great Strength King Fist, Yang She's Yuan Ying also contained records of a Hidden Spirit Technique. This technique concealed one's cultivation aura; once mastered, even cultivators one realm higher could not detect your presence. No wonder Yang She could approach Xu Feng within ten zhang without being noticed.
Xu Feng extracted the Hidden Spirit Technique; since Yang She had already mastered this cultivation method, refining it after absorbing Yang She was exceedingly easy. He completed its mastery in just seven units of time.
Activating the Hidden Spirit Technique caused his internal spiritual energy to remain unchanged while forming an invisible aura around his body that completely masked his spiritual energy.
Even cultivators at the Refining Qi Stage could not defeat someone using this technique; how many cultivators would pay attention to a Qi Refinement First Layer disciple?
After completing the Hidden Qi Technique, Xu Feng felt elated. From then on, he would no longer fear being hunted down; those at Divine Separation Stage would be unable to find him, and Yuan Ying cultivators would have no way to deal with him. His life gained another layer of protection.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
Xu Feng had thoroughly refined seven Nascent Souls, inheriting all the cultivation insights of the Seven People, which greatly enhanced his own strength. His mastery of the five elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—had all reached the peak of the late stage, and the intensity of his spiritual power had reached its limit; he could no longer contain any more spiritual energy.
The only way to advance further was to break through the barrier and establish a new foundation. This meant shattering the Golden Core and transforming into an infant; only by breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage and reconstructing his body could he take another step forward.
With his Wood Element at Great Achievement, Xu Feng was now unmatched in the Golden Core Stage. Even among those at the Nascent Soul Stage, he had few rivals. If he were to encounter a cultivator of Yang She's caliber again, a direct confrontation would still leave Xu Feng at a disadvantage; however, he would no longer be easily defeated in one blow. Xu Feng's Diablo could inflict fatal damage on Yang She.
As for ordinary Late Stage Nascent Soul cultivators, their spiritual power was already inferior to Xu Feng's. He could easily slay a Late Stage Nascent Soul with just his Superior Spirit Sword.
In just a month and a half, Xu Feng's strength had once again increased significantly. Below the Divine Separation Stage, he could almost walk through without opposition.
Calculating the time, it had been nearly a year since he arrived in Zheguo. Over this year, he had traveled extensively and finally found Cai Shujun. At the same time, his cultivation had made substantial progress; as the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not as beneficial as traveling thousands of miles. Xu Feng felt that this journey was worthwhile. He would need to travel again when opportunities arose; life is about movement, and cultivation is about wandering.
Now it was time to head back. The matter concerning Cai Shujun needed a response for the New Moon Sect, and Qiu Wuling must be anxious after losing his beloved disciple.
After spending nearly two months recuperating and cultivating in Xianxia City, that night Xu Feng changed into a blue robe and left Xianxia City.
Activating the Hidden Spirit Technique and making slight alterations to his appearance, Xu Feng flew toward Longmen Town. Along the way, he indeed saw Xiaoyao Sect patrolling outside Xianxia City; it was highly likely due to Xu Feng's actions.
Xiaoyao Sect had suffered greatly when six members were severely injured by Xu Feng, causing them to lose face. Xiao Jing returned to the Sect and shifted all responsibility onto Xiao Duan, claiming that Xiao Duan's poor tactics allowed Xu Feng to escape while injuring six Red-Clad Elders.
Xiao Duan was not one to be trifled with either; as the Young Master of Xiaoyao Sect, he berated Xiao Jing harshly. As a Yuan Ying Cultivator leading ten Red-Clad Elders, he should have been able to handle a Golden Core Stage cultivator like Xu Feng and ought to apologize for his failure.
In the end, Sect Leader Xiao Bie Li announced that both would receive equal punishment: Xiao Duan would have his salary docked for three months while Xiao Jing would be confined for six months. The Elder Council dispatched Elder Ziyi to assist Guo Ruomin in capturing Xu Feng once again in Xianxia City.
Not long after flying out, Xu Feng was intercepted by a Golden Core Cultivator from Xiaoyao Sect. This time Guo Ruomin had brought dozens of Golden Core Disciples along to spread their surveillance.
The Golden Core Disciple shouted, "Where are you going so late at night? You look suspicious; you must be up to no good! Who are you?"
Xu Feng was currently using the Hidden Qi Technique, appearing to that person as merely a Qi Refinement First Layer cultivator. However, Guo Ruomin had instructed that all suspicious individuals must be interrogated. This person also wanted to take the opportunity to extort some money.
"Senior, I am a disciple from a family outside the city, here to buy some items and need to rush back overnight. I haven't done anything wrong; Xianxia City is a place with rules, and I wouldn't dare act recklessly," Xu Feng pleaded pitifully.
The Golden Core Disciple said, "You are only at the Qi Refinement First Layer; you can run quite fast. You must be guilty and eager to escape. I must uphold justice for Xianxia City and eliminate harm for the people. Prepare to pay with your life!" The person made a move as if to strike.
Xu Feng hurriedly said, "Please spare me, Senior! This is my family's spirit stones for purchasing magical tools; please let me go this once." He took out ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
The Golden Core Disciple snatched them away and shouted, "Get lost!"
Xu Feng quickly ran away, sweating profusely. The Golden Core Disciple could easily crush him with a finger, yet he was being ordered around. There was nothing he could do; the Xiaoyao Sect definitely had experts coming. If he killed this person, it would surely lead to great trouble.
He even had to thank this Golden Core Disciple. After using the Hidden Qi Technique, Xu Feng's cultivation level was only at Qi Refinement First Layer, but due to a moment of carelessness, his speed exceeded what should be expected at that level, naturally drawing the attention of that person.
It seemed that the use of the Hidden Qi Technique needed to be reconsidered; it was best used for temporary evasion rather than prolonged use.
At the Refining Qi Stage, he couldn't fly yet. Xu Feng endured and ran for twenty miles until he exited the Xiaoyao Sect's surveillance range. Only then did he retract the Hidden Spirit Technique and switched to ordinary spiritual power control techniques, regulating his strength back to Foundation Establishment Stage. After flying several hundred miles, he finally returned to normal and flew away at his true strength.
By noon the next day, Xu Feng arrived at Longmen Town. Surprisingly, the Xiaoyao Sect had not stationed anyone there. He passed through Longmen Town's Teleportation Array and returned to Xibai City.
Just as he exited the Teleportation Array, Xu Feng wanted to immediately transfer to Liuxiang Kingdom. However, it was not the fifteenth day; A Qi had not opened the Teleportation Array in Beast Wasteland, so Xu Feng couldn't send himself there.
The disciple from Shenxing Sect responsible for transportation saw him dazed and asked, "Friend, you still need to pay a hundred spirit stones as a receiving fee."
Shenxing Sect was indeed exploitative, monopolizing the industry with dual charges; moving was expensive!
Xu Feng paid the spirit stones and asked, "Friend, I wish to go to Liuxiang Kingdom; could you possibly make it convenient for me?"
“Liuxiang Kingdom?” the Transmitting Disciple said, “That’s a place. We don’t have a Teleportation Array set up there…”
Xu Feng knew there had to be a way. He took out two hundred spirit stones and handed them over, saying, “Please help me, I have urgent business.”
The Transmitting Disciple accepted the spirit stones and then said, “There is only one Teleportation Array in Liuxiang Kingdom, but it belongs to Jingcheng Auction. Without their permission, I cannot let you through. I’m really unable to help.”
So that was how it was. Xu Feng replied, “Friend, I am a VIP client of Jingcheng Auction. I’m actually going there to discuss business.” With that, Xu Feng took out the Flat Iron Token that Shen Gongzi had given him.
“You’re from Pingdao Sect?” The Transmitting Disciple was surprised. “Ah, then it’s no problem. Please, come in.” His attitude took a complete turn as he hurriedly invited Xu Feng into the Teleportation Array.
Unexpectedly, the reputation of Pingdao Sect was so useful. Xu Feng wondered what status Shen Gongzi held in Pingdao Sect; the name sounded somewhat like Xiao Yao Qi Gong Zi's style. He might be one of the young masters of Pingdao Sect. It was likely that Pingdao Sect had many young masters, and those Seven Young Masters were definitely more impressive than Xiao Yao Qi Gong Zi.
Years ago, Shen Gongzi had saved the Tear Vine and gifted him a Seventh-Level Puppet equivalent to Mid Stage of Nascent Soul. At that time, he was overjoyed; now it seemed merely a gesture. Overall, Shen Gongzi was quite a decent person. If given the chance, they could become friends. With Xu Feng's current strength, befriending Shen Gongzi wouldn’t be a disgrace.
Pingdao Sect ranked fifth on the power list in Zheguo, making it a super sect far stronger than Xiaoyao Sect. They often conducted business in various places and had many dealings with Shenxing Sect and auction houses in the cultivation industry. Thus, when Xu Feng presented his Flat Iron Token, Shenxing Sect immediately allowed him passage. One should never offend such a wealthy figure; even if it were just a gatekeeper from Pingdao Sect, one should treat them with respect.
The Transmitting Disciple set up the teleportation coordinates, and with a flash of white light, Xu Feng was teleported away.
