264: Late stage of the Spiritualization

In the Inner Universe, on a mountain peak where Spiritual Qi was most abundant, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes.

Instantly, two brilliant lights, as if containing the birth and destruction of a Universe, flashed and disappeared. A vast and magnificent aura spread out from him like invisible ripples, causing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire Inner Universe to boil. Mountains and rivers hummed in unison, as if congratulating their master.

He stretched his body, and his bones let out a series of crackling sounds. Every inch of his flesh and blood was filled with unprecedented power.

"Late Stage Soul Transformation... I've finally reached it."

He felt the surging magical power within him, as vast as a river or sea, and his heart was peaceful. With the foundation of his Five Elements Spiritual Root, breaking through to the Void Refining Stage would face almost no Bottleneck. What he lacked was merely the accumulation of time and a deeper understanding of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

"It seems the journey to the Spirit Realm must be expedited."

Just as he was contemplating his subsequent plans, a sharp sword light broke through the sky from a distance, as fast as lightning, yet it abruptly stopped a hundred zhang away from the mountain peak, revealing a voluptuous and captivating figure.

The person who arrived was Wen Qing.

Today, she had changed into a tight-fitting black swordswoman's outfit, which perfectly outlined her mature and full curves. Her long hair was tied up high, making her appear heroic and valiant. She landed on the ground and quickly walked to Lin Feng's front. Her usually cold pretty face was now filled with undisguised adoration and fervor.

"Your servant Wen Qing congratulates Master on another step forward in his cultivation!" Her voice was clear and full of joy.

Lin Feng looked at her, a smile playing on his lips: "You're quite thoughtful, sensing it so quickly. What, is there something you don't understand about the sword technique I imparted to you last time, and you wish for this Lord to give you some pointers?"

Upon hearing the word "pointers," Wen Qing's pretty face instantly turned red. She shyly lowered her eyes, and her voice became softer: "Master is joking... The sword technique bestowed upon me last time is profound and extensive; your servant has yet to fully comprehend it. It's just..."

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, yet she mustered the courage to look up. Her originally sharp sword-like eyes were now shimmering with moisture as she stared intently at Lin Feng, biting her red lips, and whispered: "It's just... your servant's body has already recovered, Master... does Master wish to..."

Before she finished speaking, her daring gaze had already unreservedly slid from Lin Feng's face, slowly down to below his waist, the implication within it being utterly obvious.

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then he laughed wryly.

"You should have said so earlier!"

He secretly chuckled in his heart, "This mature woman really can't stand loneliness."

He stopped with the superfluous talk, stepped forward, and directly scooped Wen Qing up by the waist. The astonishing elasticity and tautness he felt in his hands made his heart race.

Wen Qing let out a charming gasp, her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck, burying her hot cheek into his chest. Feeling his strong and powerful heartbeat, she felt her whole body begin to soften.

Lin Feng, holding the incredibly hot delicate body in his arms, laughed heartily and soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light, heading straight for the Immortal Cave by the cascading waterfall deep within the mountain range... At the same time, inside a quiet room far away in Tianyuan City of the Spirit Realm.

Lin Feng's plant Clone, known as Qing Lian, also slowly opened his eyes. A vibrant vitality emanated from his body, and a powerful aura belonging to the Late Stage Soul Transformation flashed past, then was perfectly contained by him.

"Not bad, cultivating both main body and Clone is indeed efficient."

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt the even more refined and vast plant Spiritual Qi within the Clone's body, feeling quite satisfied.

"There's still over a year until the centennial auction in Tianyuan City; just waiting isn't a solution."

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, his eyes flickering.

"The Xu Family is one of the local powers in Tianyuan City, and it seems there's a Void Refining Stage Old Ancestor guarding their clan. And the 'ink kirin scale' I need, perhaps they might have a clue. Visiting them directly would be too abrupt, so perhaps..."

An idea flashed through his mind.

"I remember Fellow Daoist Zhao Ping mentioned that the Xu Family has a favored daughter named Xu Qianyu, who is currently serving in the city's garrison. Perhaps I can find an opening through her."

Thinking of this, Lin Feng no longer hesitated and pushed open the door, stepping out of the quiet room.

The recruitment office for Tianyuan City's garrison was located in a large plaza in the south of the city. People came and went, mostly Body Refiners and low-level Cultivators who came to enlist. An existence like Lin Feng, at the Soul Transformation Stage, immediately attracted everyone's attention upon his appearance.

Responsible for recruitment was a Core Formation Cultivator in black profound armor with a stern face. When he felt the undisguised Late Stage Soul Transformation pressure emanating from Lin Feng, the sternness on his face was instantly replaced by respect, and he quickly stood up to greet him.

"Junior Zhou Tong greets Senior! May I ask what Senior commands by gracing us with your presence?"

"I want to join the garrison," Lin Feng said indifferently, concisely.

Zhou Tong was stunned, an expression of disbelief on his face. A powerful being at the Late Stage Soul Transformation actually wanted to join their garrison? This was simply a godsend!

He dared not be negligent and immediately took out a crystalline magical disc, respectfully saying: "Senior, according to regulations, we need to check if you have the aura of an Ascension Cultivator. Please cooperate, Senior."

Lin Feng nodded, allowing the light emitted by the magical disc to sweep over him.

The magical disc showed no reaction.

He had already taken the Dust Erasing Pill, removing all traces of the Lower Realm's aura, and disguised himself as a native Loose Cultivator of the Spirit Realm, so there would naturally be no problems.

"Senior is indeed a local Cultivator!" Zhou Tong was completely relieved, his smile becoming even more fawning. "With Senior's cultivation, joining our garrison means you can directly serve as a commander of a battalion!"

"No need for such trouble," Lin Feng waved his hand. "Just give me the position of a patrol squad leader."

He didn't want to be entangled in mundane affairs; a squad leader offered the most freedom.

Although Zhou Tong didn't understand, he dared not ask further, nodding repeatedly in agreement, and immediately prepared to process Lin Feng's employment documents.

"Oh, right," Lin Feng said casually, as if remembering something, "I heard there's a Fellow Daoist named Xu Qianyu in the army, who is heroic and valiant. I admire her quite a bit. I wonder if Manager Zhou could do me a favor and transfer her to my squad?"

As he spoke, he subtly slipped several pre-prepared jade bottles into Zhou Tong's hand.

Zhou Tong felt his hand sink and swept his Divine Sense inside, immediately gasping. The rich medicinal fragrance and the astonishing Spiritual Qi fluctuations all indicated that these few bottles of Medicinal Pills were all top-grade Medicinal Pills that Core Formation Cultivators dreamed of!

His smile instantly bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and he patted his chest, guaranteeing: "Senior is talking about that Young Miss of the Xu Family, right? It's no big deal! Leave it to your Junior! Your Junior will immediately go and process the transfer order, ensuring that Fairy Xu will report to your team first thing tomorrow morning!"

"In that case, I appreciate your trouble."

Lin Feng nodded contentedly.

And so, he easily became a squad leader in the Tianyuan City garrison.

He already had a complete plan in mind.

On normal days, he would let this plant Clone handle the army tasks and duties. But once there was an opportunity to be alone with Xu Qianyu, he would have his main body from the Inner Universe descend and personally take action.
