73: Visit Fengwu

Three days after Lin Feng reached the Core Formation Stage.

In front of the Yanyue Sect's mountain gate.

His figure descended gracefully, his blue robes flowing freely, his aura even more restrained and profound than three days prior, and a faint divine light flowed within his eyes as they opened and closed.

A male Cultivator guarding the gate saw Lin Feng, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, have you come to visit Nangong Elder?”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded, taking out Nangong Wan's token: “Precisely. I trouble Fellow Daoist to inform her.”

The male Cultivator quickly waved his hand, his attitude much more respectful: “Fellow Daoist Lin is too polite. The Elder has already given instructions that when Fellow Daoist comes in the future, there is no need for further inspection; you can directly enter.”

As he spoke, there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

It was already unusual that Fellow Daoist Lin could frequently enter and exit the Yanyue Sect with Nangong Elder's token before.

Now, he could even be exempted from all inspections; such treatment was not necessarily enjoyed even by Core Formation Elders from other Sects.

His relationship with Nangong Elder was probably extraordinary.

His mind raced with thoughts, but he dared not show any of it on his face, only becoming more respectful.

Lin Feng was slightly surprised to hear this, then understood that this must be Nangong Wan's arrangement.

He cupped his hands and said: “In that case, I thank Fellow Daoist, and please thank Nangong Senior for me as well.”

“Fellow Daoist Lin, please.” The male Cultivator stepped aside, making way.

Lin Feng nodded slightly and stepped into the Yanyue Sect's mountain-protecting array.

With a flash of light, the scenery before him suddenly opened up.

Unlike the slightly unfamiliar and self-cultivating atmosphere among the Inner Sect Disciples of Huangfeng Valley, the Yanyue Sect, in addition to its abundant Spiritual Qi and beautiful scenery, had more vitality and life.

On the mountain paths, young male and female Disciples could often be seen walking together, either talking softly and laughing, or sparring in Dao, and occasionally, a few pairs of Dao Companions could be seen holding hands, chatting and laughing, with intimate expressions.

The number of female Disciples in the Sect far exceeded that of male Disciples, adding a touch of charm to the scenery.

This place truly resembled a university town from his previous life.

Lin Feng controlled his Magical Artifact, soaring at a low altitude, flying towards Yueyao Peak, where Nangong Wan resided.

He thought of Mo Fengwu, wondering how that girl's Cultivation was and how she was doing after two months apart.

Near the foot of Yueyao Peak, among several adjacent beautiful peaks, Yanyue Sect Disciples frequently came and went.

As he proceeded, a clear sound of female conversation drifted on the wind.

“Have you heard? Fairy Mo is truly amazing!” A slightly freckled female Disciple's voice was filled with admiration, “She only joined the Sect two and a half years ago, and a month ago, she already Broke Through to the Foundation Establishment Stage!”

“Yes, yes,” another ordinary-looking female Disciple next to her nodded repeatedly, taking over the conversation, “I heard Junior Martial Uncle Wang say that Fairy Mo has only been Cultivating for less than five years in total! Such talent is simply unheard of!”

How keen was Lin Feng's hearing? Upon hearing the words “Fairy Mo,” his heart stirred, and he slowed down, listening intently.

The freckled female Disciple continued: “Isn't that right! Five years to Foundation Establishment, even among the Geniuses in our Yanyue Sect throughout history, she's a rare existence! She truly lives up to Nangong Elder's discerning eye.”

The ordinary-looking female Disciple lowered her voice, with a hint of mystery, “I heard that just yesterday, Fairy Mo defeated Senior Sister Xiao Xun'er in the martial arts arena, in front of many people!”

“What? Senior Sister Xiao Xun'er?” The freckled female Disciple exclaimed, “Senior Sister Xiao is a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator who Broke Through to Foundation Establishment a long time ago. Fairy Mo actually managed to defeat her?”

“Absolutely true!” The ordinary-looking female Disciple's tone was firm, “I was there watching. Fairy Mo's ice Spiritual Root Qi was chillingly powerful, and although Senior Sister Xiao's sword techniques were exquisite, she couldn't even get close to her. In the end, Fairy Mo hit her shoulder with an ice cone, and Senior Sister Xiao, lacking in Qi, admitted defeat herself.”

She paused, her voice filled with admiration: “Fairy Mo's Cultivation progress is not only incredibly fast, but her combat strength is also so formidable, she's truly amazing!”

The ordinary-looking female Disciple sighed softly, a look of envy on her face: “That's natural. Fairy Mo is the only Disciple Nangong Elder has taken in. What kind of person is Nangong Elder? She is the fastest Genius to Break Through to Core Formation in our Yanyue Sect in the past three hundred years! Rumor has it she is expected to form a Nascent Soul before she's two hundred years old!”

“If only I could have Fairy Mo's good fortune and be favored by Nangong Elder, even if only as a Named Disciple, I would be content.” Her eyes gleamed with longing.

The freckled female Disciple chuckled upon hearing this, teasing: “You're dreaming! What kind of discerning eye does Nangong Elder have? How could she easily take Disciples? Fairy Mo has a one-in-ten-thousand top-grade mutated ice Spiritual Root. What's your Spiritual Root?”

“I... I'm a three-Spiritual Root...” The ordinary-looking female Disciple blushed slightly, her voice fading.

Lin Feng had already understood everything by this point.

Not only did Phoenix Dance successfully establish her Foundation, but it also seemed her Foundation was extremely solid, and even her combat strength was outstanding.

Nangong Wan indeed kept her word and taught her very well.

He showed a hint of a smile, no longer lingering, and with a flash of light, he flew directly towards the peak of Yueyao Peak.

The two female Disciples who were chatting only felt a green shadow flash past from not far away, moving extremely fast. By the time they wanted to look closely, it had already disappeared among the peaks.

“Eh? Who was that just now? So fast!” The freckled female Disciple said in surprise.

“Looking at the direction... it seems to be going to Yueyao Peak?” The ordinary-looking female Disciple guessed with some uncertainty.

“Yueyao Peak? Isn't that Nangong Elder and Fairy Mo's place of secluded Cultivation? And, that seemed to be a male Cultivator?”

The two female Disciples exchanged glances, both seeing confusion and surprise in each other's eyes.

On Yueyao Peak, it was tranquil and elegant.

Lin Feng's figure landed on the platform outside the Immortal Cave at the peak.

With a gentle sweep of his Divine Sense, he sensed two familiar auras within the Immortal Cave's Restriction: Nangong Wan and Mo Fengwu.

Nangong Wan's aura had already recovered to the Late Stage Core Formation, and it was even more refined than during the Ascension Gathering, likely not far from Core Formation Perfection.

And Mo Fengwu's aura had indeed steadily entered the Early Stage Foundation Establishment, and her Spiritual Qi was condensed, far beyond what ordinary newly entered Foundation Establishment Cultivators could compare to.

Lin Feng spoke loudly, his voice gently entering the Restriction: “Wan... Nangong Senior, Phoenix Dance. Lin Feng has come to visit!”

Lin Feng had intended to call her Wan'er, but hearing Nangong Wan's voice transmission, he had to change his words first.

As soon as his voice fell, the Immortal Cave's Restriction light flickered slightly, opening in response.

Immediately after, a graceful figure in red, like a young swallow returning to its nest, flew out of the Immortal Cave with a heart full of joy and eagerness. (Image included)

“Husband!”

A clear and melodious call, brimming with deep longing and exhilaration.

Mo Fengwu directly threw herself into Lin Feng's embrace, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, burying her pretty face deep in his chest, greedily breathing in his familiar scent.

With a warm, soft beauty in his arms, Lin Feng's heart also softened.

He reached out and gently patted Mo Fengwu's back, feeling her slightly trembling body, and that unreserved dependence and joy.

After more than two months apart, and after Breaking Through to Foundation Establishment, this girl seemed to have grown a bit taller, and her figure was even more graceful and well-proportioned.

The two embraced for a long time, as if to pour all the longing of these two months into this embrace.

Just then, from deep within the Immortal Cave, Nangong Wan's slightly teasing, cool voice came: “How long are you two going to hug out here? Aren't you ashamed?”

Mo Fengwu's delicate body stiffened slightly upon hearing this, and her pretty face instantly flushed crimson to her ears.

Like a startled deer, she quickly broke free from Lin Feng's embrace, her head bowed low, not daring to look back at the Immortal Cave.

“Master...” Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, tinged with embarrassment.

Lin Feng, however, maintained his usual expression, only his smile deepened as he looked at Mo Fengwu's shy and adorable appearance.

Mo Fengwu steadied herself, secretly raising her eyes to glance at Lin Feng, and seeing him smiling as he looked at her, her cheeks grew even hotter.

She extended her fair, jade-like hand and gently tugged at Lin Feng's sleeve, whispering: “Husband, let's... let's go inside quickly.”

She wanted to pull Lin Feng into the house to properly attend to business.

However, as soon as she took a step, Nangong Wan's voice leisurely came again:

“Phoenix Dance, I had a sudden insight today, and I will be entering secluded Cultivation for a period of time to comprehend my Cultivation Technique, so I will not be seeing guests.”

“When Fellow Daoist Lin leaves later, let him depart on his own; there's no need for him to come and bid me farewell.”

Mo Fengwu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and she stopped in her tracks.

A hint of confusion flashed in her clear eyes: “Master is going into secluded Cultivation again? But... didn't Master just come out of secluded Cultivation a few days ago?”

She remembered clearly that a few days ago, her Master had finished a short period of secluded Cultivation and had even guided her in her Cultivation.

Why was she suddenly going into secluded Cultivation again today?

However, her Master's thoughts were always difficult for her to fathom.

Although she found it strange, she dared not ask further, and quickly responded respectfully: “Yes, Master. Disciple understands.”

After speaking, she turned her head to look at Lin Feng, with a hint of apology in her eyes.

Lin Feng, however, understood Nangong Wan's sudden secluded Cultivation, knowing that Nangong Wan was probably a bit too embarrassed to face them in front of her Disciple.

He smiled slightly towards the Immortal Cave, not exposing her.

Seeing that her Master no longer spoke, Mo Fengwu no longer thought about it, taking Lin Feng's hand and softly saying: “Husband, quickly... let's go inside.”

Her voice was soft and sweet, with an unconcealed anticipation.

Lin Feng clasped her soft little hand, feeling its delicacy and warmth, and nodded with a smile: “Then let's go, you look like you're bursting.”

Mo Fengwu's face showed a triumphant smile, and she pulled Lin Feng, turning to walk quickly towards her own side courtyard.
