91: Chapter 91 Even Master is Envious! You Kid are Simply Unbelievable!

Early the next morning, Lin Feng went out.

The sun was just right, shining warmly on him.

Little Gold lay on his shoulder, clutching half a Spirit Stone fragment, gnawing on it with relish.

"Crunch, crunch—"

The sound was like a mouse grinding its teeth.

Lin Feng walked through a few streets and turned into that familiar, dilapidated alley.

It was still that three-story building with cracked exterior walls, still that rusty iron gate.

He raised his hand and knocked.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Come in."

Zhao Ritian's lazy voice came from inside.

Lin Feng pushed the door open and entered.

Zhao Ritian was the same as always, sitting in his wheelchair, holding a purple clay teapot, drinking tea directly from the spout.

Sunlight shone in through the broken window, casting dappled light and shadows on him.

"Master."

Lin Feng walked over and sat down on a chair nearby.

Zhao Ritian looked up at him.

At this sight, he froze.

His hand holding the teapot hung in mid-air.

Those seemingly cloudy eyes suddenly widened.

"You..."

He looked Lin Feng up and down, his gaze sweeping over Lin Feng's body.

He swept from the top of his head to his toes, and back from his toes to the top of his head.

Back and forth, he looked several times.

Lin Feng felt a bit unnerved by his gaze.

"Master? What's wrong?"

Zhao Ritian didn't speak.

He put down the teapot and stood up from the wheelchair.

Yes, he stood up.

He walked to Lin Feng and circled around him.

Then he reached out and squeezed his shoulder.

He squeezed his arm as well.

Finally, he stepped back two paces and looked him up and down again.

"Kid."

He spoke, his voice carrying a hint of disbelief.

"What exactly did you experience in the few days you were out?"

Lin Feng blinked.

"Just... went into the Secret Realm."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Ritian glared at him, "Of course I know you went into the Secret Realm!"

"I'm asking you, what exactly did you do in the Secret Realm?!"

"Your aura... it's completely different!"

Lin Feng scratched his head.

"Uh... just killed some monsters and picked up some things."

"Killed some monsters? Picked up some things?" Zhao Ritian repeated, his expression as if he had heard some huge joke.

"You call this killing some monsters? Picking up some things?"

He pointed at Lin Feng, his finger trembling.

"Do you know what your current situation is?"

"What situation?"

"You, as a whole, are like a walking sun!" Zhao Ritian raised his voice, "The energy fluctuations on your body are so dense they're about to overflow!"

"light element, Earth Element, Wood Element... and Fire, Water, Wind, Thunder, Ice, and Dark, you have them all!"

"And every single one is terrifyingly dense!"

"You call this killing some monsters?!"

Lin Feng fell silent.

He knew what Master said was true.

He now had 156% Light Element Affinity, 156% Earth Element, 127% Wood Element, and all other elements were above 90%.

The energy density was definitely high.

"And that pet of yours." Zhao Ritian looked at Little Gold on his shoulder.

Little Gold was hugging a Spirit Stone and gnawing on it; when glared at, it shrank its neck in fear.

"Is this dung beetle something you got from the Secret Realm?"

"Its name is Little Gold, and it's a Void Holy Beetle," Lin Feng corrected.

"Void Holy Beetle?" Zhao Ritian raised an eyebrow, "That thing is an ancient exotic species, extremely rare. And the aura on it... is at least King Rank."

"You kid, you can even get your hands on something like this?"

Lin Feng scratched his head.

"Luck, just luck."

"Luck my ass!" Zhao Ritian cursed, "Alright, stop hiding things. Hurry up and tell me, what exactly did you experience in the Secret Realm?"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and began to recount.

Starting from entering the Secret Realm, to meeting the ancient elemental tree, to killing the Multicolored Tiger, to Shen Yutang trying to kill him for his treasures and being beaten away.

To meeting Cold Moon, to the underground garden, to the ten-thousand-year Evergreen Tree, to the wood Spiritual Vein and the soil of life.

To fusing five evergreen fruits, to fusing the soil of life to obtain the Breath of Earth.

To Rank 40, to the dragon slaying sword, to the complete compendium of elixirs.

One by one, item by item.

He explained in great detail, but hid the tower soul and some Fusion details.

Zhao Ritian listened, the expression on his face becoming increasingly colorful.

From initial surprise to later shock, and finally to... numbness?

When Lin Feng talked about the attributes of the dragon slaying sword, Zhao Ritian interrupted him.

"Wait, how much attack power did you say that sword has?"

"Five thousand to five thousand eight," Lin Feng said honestly.

"Five thousand to five thousand eight?! A Rank 40 weapon with over five thousand attack power?"

"Yes."

"And all attributes +300?"

"Yes."

"And skill damage doubled?"

"Yes."

"And it adds five hundred thousand health points and mana?"

"Yes."

Zhao Ritian fell silent.

He stared at Lin Feng, his gaze extremely complex.

"Kid, do you know what this means?"

"What?"

"It means you're holding a legendary weapon, fighting people of the same Rank, one slash per kill!" Zhao Ritian said, "No, even fighting those ten Ranks higher than you, it's one slash per kill!"

Lin Feng blinked.

"That powerful?"

"Nonsense!" Zhao Ritian glared at him, "In all the years I've lived, I haven't seen many weapons of this level!"

"You kid, on the other hand, just fused one out directly!"

Lin Feng chuckled.

Zhao Ritian took a deep breath and continued to ask.

"And what about that complete compendium of elixirs?"

Lin Feng took out the golden book and handed it to him.

Zhao Ritian took it and flipped through it.

He closed it after just one look.

"Over three hundred Pill Formulas, success rate +50%, quality +2 tiers..."

He returned the book to Lin Feng, the look in his eyes when looking at Lin Feng had completely changed.

"Kid, do you know that the value of this book is even higher than that sword?"

"I know." Lin Feng nodded.

"Good that you know." Zhao Ritian sighed, "With this book, you can refine whatever Medicinal Pill you want in the future, with a success rate twice as high as others, and quality two tiers higher than others."

"What does this mean? It means you are a mobile Medicinal Pill factory!"

"Want to cultivate a force? Refine a pile of Medicinal Pills and throw them at them, what kind of Talent can't you cultivate?"

Lin Feng nodded repeatedly as he listened.

"And what about that Breath of Earth?"

Lin Feng took out the palm-sized, dark golden soil from the wanxiang ring.

As soon as the Breath of Earth appeared, the air in the entire room became fresh.

The dense life aura made even Zhao Ritian take a deep breath involuntarily.

"This is... the Breath of Earth?"

He took it and examined it carefully.

He looked at it over and over again several times.

Finally, he looked up at Lin Feng.

That look was indescribably complex.

"Kid, do you know what this thing is?"

"I know, the legendary divine soil, used by Nüwa to create humans."

"Good that you know." Zhao Ritian returned the Breath of Earth to him, "This thing is more precious than that sword and that book combined!"

"Infinite growth, planting speed increased tenfold, quality increased by three tiers, can also make equipment automatically repair, and can be fused into the body to gain passive skills..."

"This is a fucking Divine Artifact!"

Lin Feng scratched his head.

"Then I guess my luck is pretty good."

"Luck?" Zhao Ritian snorted, "This isn't luck, this is cheating!"

He sat back in his wheelchair and took a gulp from the teapot.

"Rank 40, spirit over 1700, two million health points, Spell attack eight thousand five hundred."

"All element affinities are above 90%, Light and Earth exceed 150%, Wood exceeds 120%."

"Holding an SSS-Rank Divine Artifact sword, carrying a pseudo-colored pill book, plus a piece of Breath of Earth, and a King Rank pet."

Zhao Ritian looked at him, his eyes carrying a trace of... envy?

"I've lived for so many years and have seen countless Geniuses and countless Prodigies."

"But someone like you..."

He paused and shook his head.

"I've really never seen one."

Lin Feng felt a bit embarrassed by his praise.

"Master, don't say that..."

"I'm telling the truth." Zhao Ritian waved his hand, "With your current setup, if you go out and say you have an F-Rank Talent, who would believe it?"

"Those proud sons of heaven in the academies, those geniuses with S-Rank Talents, what are they compared to you?"

Lin Feng smiled and didn't reply.

Zhao Ritian was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Kid, that Secret Realm... might not just be a Secret Realm."

Lin Feng paused.

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it." Zhao Ritian said, "There are ancient elemental trees, ten-thousand-year medicinal gardens, Spiritual Veins, Breath of Earth, and those monsters that have gained sentience..."

"These things are not what a normal Secret Realm can have."

"Normal Secret Realms are naturally formed after datafication; the things inside are rule-based, monster Ranks are fixed, and drops are fixed."

"But the ones you encountered... were too special."

"ancient elemental trees, ten-thousand-year medicinal herbs, sentient flowers and plants, Spiritual Veins, Breath of Earth..."

Zhao Ritian looked at him.

"These things look more like the ruins of some ancient civilization."

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Ruins of an ancient civilization?

"You mean, that place was inhabited by people before?"

"Very likely." Zhao Ritian nodded, "Those Taoist temples, Scripture Pavilion, Alchemy halls, they are clearly human architecture. And the costumes of those Alchemists were also ancient."

"That Secret Realm is likely a sealed ancient ruin."

"After datafication, the Seal loosened, which is why you discovered it."

Lin Feng was thoughtful.

"Then why did the Secret Realm disappear later..."

"Because you extracted the Spiritual Vein." Zhao Ritian said, "The Spiritual Vein is the core supporting that space. Without the Spiritual Vein, the space naturally collapsed."

Lin Feng fell silent.

So that was it.

"Alright, let's not talk about this." Zhao Ritian waved his hand, "You are now Rank 40, getting closer and closer to Rank 50."

Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

"Master, you mean..."

"Yes." Zhao Ritian nodded, "The Dungeon where your parents went missing requires a level of no less than Rank 50. As soon as you level up ten more times, you can go."

Lin Feng clenched his fists.

Rank 50... Soon.

"But don't rush." Zhao Ritian said, "Rank 50 is just the threshold; the level of danger inside far exceeds any place you've encountered before."

"Although your strength is strong now, there are still risks in going in."

"During this time, settle down properly. Digest the things you've obtained and raise your strength another notch."

Lin Feng nodded.

"I understand."

The two chatted for a while longer.

Zhao Ritian asked about some details, and Lin Feng answered them one by one.

Finally, Zhao Ritian stood up.

"Alright, go do what you need to do."

"Remember, be low-key. I will help you keep an eye on the Shen Family."

Lin Feng felt a warmth in his heart.

"Thank you, Master."

"What are you thanking me for? You are my disciple; if I don't help you, who would I help?"

Lin Feng smiled and stood up.

When he reached the door, he looked back.

Zhao Ritian had already sat back in his wheelchair, holding the teapot, and had returned to that lazy appearance.

"Master, I'm leaving."

"Hmm."

Lin Feng pushed the door and went out.

The sun shone on him, warm.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the market.

Next stop, the shop.

...

Walking through a few streets, the familiar noise came.

The street market had arrived.

Still those people, still those stalls, still those sounds of haggling.

Lin Feng walked through the crowd and arrived at the entrance of the "Fusion Workshop".

The shop door was open, and the laughter of Li Xiaoyu and Li Xiaoyu came from inside.

He pushed the door and entered.

"Boss!"

Li Xiaoyu saw him first, screamed, and rushed over.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

Li Xiaoyu also ran out from behind the counter, her eyes sparkling.

"Boss, Boss! We missed you to death!"

Pan Jingjing stood behind the counter; although she didn't rush over, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

"Boss, welcome back."

Lin Feng nodded with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

"Not hard work, not hard work!" Li Xiaoyu waved her hand, "Boss, while you weren't here, we sold a lot of equipment!"

"Yes, yes!" Li Xiaoyu echoed, "The turnover is almost breaking ten million!"

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Breaking ten million?"

"Yes!" Pan Jingjing nodded and took out the account book, "These past few days we sold a total of 285 blue-Rank equipment, 672 green-Rank equipment, for a total turnover of 10.83 million points."

"After deducting costs and taxes, the net profit is around 7 million."

Lin Feng gasped.

Seven million?

This speed of making money was faster than his Fusion!

"Well done!"

He praised sincerely.

The three girls couldn't stop smiling.

"By the way, Boss, did you bring new goods this time?" Li Xiaoyu asked expectantly.

Lin Feng smiled.

"I did."

He started pulling out equipment from the wanxiang ring.

Clatter—

One piece after another of blue and green equipment piled up on the counter.

Li Xiaoyu's eyes widened bit by bit.

Li Xiaoyu's mouth opened into an 'O' shape.

Pan Jingjing's hand holding the account book was trembling.

"Boss... this... how many pieces is this?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment.

"347 blue-Rank equipment, 823 green-Rank equipment."

"A total of 1170 pieces."

The three girls gasped in unison.

Over a thousand pieces!

What kind of concept is that?

Enough to sell for a month!

"Boss, how on earth... did you do it?" Pan Jingjing's voice trembled.

Lin Feng smiled and didn't explain.

"These are enough to sell for a while. You guys take your time selling them; contact me anytime if anything happens."

"Boss, are you leaving again?" Li Xiaoyu became anxious.

"Not leaving, just going to take care of some things," Lin Feng said, "Don't worry, this time it's just in the city, I can come back anytime."

The three girls finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Feng chatted with them for a while longer and gave instructions on some matters.

Then, he turned and left the shop.

Standing at the door, he looked back.

The three girls had already started organizing the equipment, busy and happy.

"Pretty good."

Lin Feng smiled and turned to leave.

The sun shone on him, casting a long shadow.

He walked on the street with a light pace.

He was thinking about his next plan.

"First, raise the Rank to 50."

"Then... go to the Void Corridor."

He clenched his fists.

Soon.

It's almost time.
