99: Ten years of infusion

The items presented at the subsequent auction became increasingly precious, and many Cultivators were attracted by the items and the fierce bidding.

Lin Feng, seizing this opportunity, quietly withdrew from the auction.

Lin Feng found Shopkeeper Liu, handed over the items, and inquired whether the auction had a secret exit.

Shopkeeper Liu was slightly startled by the question, then whispered, "Fellow Daoist Wang, you're asking about a secret exit.

Our auction indeed has one.

However, that exit is not open to the public on weekdays; only some special guests or important figures from our Chamber of Commerce can use it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng's heart filled with joy.

He knew that if he could find a secret exit this time, his chances of leaving Silver Sparrow City would be much greater.

He quickly said, "Shopkeeper Liu, I came to this auction specifically for those two main Spirit Medicines.

Now that I have successfully acquired them, my strength is low, and this transaction might attract the attention of those with ill intentions.

I believe the Shopkeeper would not want any mishaps to befall Fellow Daoists participating in the auction, as that would damage the reputation of the Twelve Cities Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't it?"

Shopkeeper Liu nodded upon hearing this.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, since you put it that way, I will help you with this.

However, the location of that secret exit is extremely hidden; you must follow me."

Lin Feng quickly bowed in thanks.

He followed Shopkeeper Liu through the bustling crowd to a secluded corner of the auction house.

Shopkeeper Liu stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary wall, gently pressed it a few times, and the wall slowly opened into a door.

Lin Feng was startled; he hadn't expected the secret exit to be so cleverly concealed.

He followed Shopkeeper Liu through the door, only to see a long passage inside, lit by dim oil lamps on both sides, appearing mysterious and unfathomable.

Shopkeeper Liu led Lin Feng forward, and they soon reached the end of the passage.

At the end was an iron door, engraved with complex runes.

Shopkeeper Liu took out a token from his Pregnant, pressed it against the runes on the iron door, and the door slowly opened.

Lin Feng followed Shopkeeper Liu out of the iron door.

Outside the iron door was an inn in Silver Sparrow City.

Shopkeeper Liu saw Lin Feng off there, then bid him farewell and returned to the passage, while Lin Feng strolled out of the inn grandly.

Lin Feng did not return directly to his Immortal Cave but instead wandered around Silver Sparrow City, occasionally changing his appearance and attire in deserted corners.

After multiple changes and confirming no one was following him, Lin Feng transformed back into himself in a corner of Silver Sparrow City and returned to his Immortal Cave.

Back in his Immortal Cave, Lin Feng felt relieved looking at the three Spirit Medicines he had obtained.

Lin Feng summoned Li Xuan and informed him that he would be going into secluded Cultivation and should not be disturbed for any reason.

Lin Feng was currently a Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, and now he had obtained the Materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

As for the Golden Core Pill, the most important Spirit Medicine for it was already in his hands; he just needed to slowly search for the rest later.

Lin Feng's actions outside had always been under the name of Wang Sicong.

Therefore, in the Immortal Cave, he also entered secluded Cultivation under the identity of Wang Sicong.

He locked himself in a secret chamber and began his long journey of Cultivation.

Before going into seclusion, Lin Feng had made thorough preparations.

He entrusted all affairs in the Immortal Cave to Li Xuan and dedicated himself wholeheartedly to Cultivation.

He sat cross-legged in the secret chamber, forming hand seals, closing his eyes, and concentrating, beginning to circulate the Cultivation technique he practiced.

As his breathing became steadier, powerful forces began to surge within his body.

Time passed imperceptibly, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had been in secluded Cultivation in the secret chamber for several months.

During these months, his Cultivation had made significant progress.

Although Lin Feng was in seclusion, he had always arranged for Li Xuan to keep an eye on external news.

Recently, Li Xuan informed Lin Feng that many unfamiliar Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Cultivators had arrived in Silver Sparrow City.

These Cultivators seemed to be inquiring about a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Wang Sicong and Zhao Quan.

Lin Feng's heart tightened upon hearing this; it seemed those Cultivators were from Qingfeng Stronghold.

He had killed Zhao Quan and left him in that Immortal Cave, and he had appeared at the auction under the name of Wang Sicong.

Lin Feng and Zhao Quan picking spirit essence fruit nearby must have aroused their suspicion.

However, Wang Sicong auctioning Spirit Medicine had nothing to do with him, Lin Feng.

After hearing this, Lin Feng instructed Li Xuan to pay attention to collecting information and not to get involved in idle chatter with these Cultivators, lest he bring trouble upon himself.

Lin Feng went into secluded Cultivation for three years straight, and at this time, he noticed one of his entries had lit up: Heaven-Sent Ten Years!

Seeing the entry light up, Lin Feng unhesitatingly chose Heaven-Sent Ten Years.

As Lin Feng chose Heaven-Sent Ten Years, he received a boost, and his Cultivation soared, jumping from Mid-Foundation Establishment to Peak Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, just one step away from entering Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

This Heaven-Sent Ten Years was an enhancement based on Lin Feng's inherent Aptitude and the other two entries, Five Elements Sacred Body and Heaven Rewards Diligence, deducting the effect of Medicinal Pills, which was equivalent to about two years of diligent Cultivation as if he had consumed Medicinal Pills.

Lin Feng felt that if he continued to Cultivate diligently, he would only need one or two years to Breakthrough to Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

In a good mood, Lin Feng decided to relax a bit before resuming his diligent Cultivation.

Lin Feng summoned Li Xuan and inquired about the recent situation in Silver Sparrow City.

Li Xuan, hearing this, immediately reported everything about Silver Sparrow City to Lin Feng in detail.

He said that many unfamiliar Cultivators had recently arrived in Silver Sparrow City, including some powerful Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Cultivators.

These people seemed to be inquiring about information everywhere, and they were no longer doing it secretly as before; now they were acting openly, especially in search of a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Wang Sicong.

Lin Feng's heart secretly rejoiced upon hearing this.

He was glad that he had chosen to act under the name of Wang Sicong at the time.

Although it had now attracted the attention of Qingfeng Stronghold, Wang Sicong and his true self, Lin Feng, had no direct connection.

As long as he didn't reveal any flaws, those Cultivators from Qingfeng Stronghold would have a hard time finding him.

He smiled slightly and said to Li Xuan, "Li Xuan, you've done very well.

You've worked hard these past few days.

Continue to monitor the situation in Silver Sparrow City, especially the movements of those unfamiliar Cultivators.

Report any news to me at any time."

Li Xuan bowed and replied, "Yes, Master.

I will continue to keep an eye on it."

Lin Feng nodded and waved Li Xuan away.

He returned to his room and began to ponder his next plan.

Although he had been in secluded Cultivation for three years and his Cultivation had made significant progress, he still needed to make more preparations to smoothly leave Silver Sparrow City and avoid being hunted down by the Cultivators of Qingfeng Stronghold.

He pondered for a moment and decided to first refine some Medicinal Pills to enhance his strength.

At the same time, he also needed to continue gathering information about Qingfeng Stronghold to understand their movements and strength, so as to prepare countermeasures.

Having made up his mind, Lin Feng began to act.

He took out the Spirit Medicine and Materials he had obtained earlier and started refining Medicinal Pills.

As time passed, Medicinal Pills emitting a rich medicinal fragrance gradually formed in his hands.
