On the fifth peak of Qingyun Gate, Master Zhang sat down in the dojo, and Uncle Li sat in the cave.
living room.
Li Shutong was sitting on the main seat, drinking the spiritual tea that had just been served by the immortal attendant.
Lin Feng took a seat at the bottom, and there were spiritual tea and pastries on the coffee table next to him.
"Time flies so fast, a few months have passed in a flash, and your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, which really impresses me!" Li Shutong looked at Lin Feng and sighed.
In the beginning, he was the one who brought Lin Feng and Li Tai to the mountain gate together.
Because Li Tai had a higher spiritual root, he directly entered the sect and became an inner disciple. Lin Feng, who had a higher spiritual root, was able to become an outer disciple because of his reputation as Li Shutong, so he went to find a position in the law enforcement team of Heilonggufang City.
Originally, Li Shutong didn't think highly of Lin Feng, so he always took care of him.
One is the reason of face - unable to reconcile with oneself, unwilling to admit the 'fact' of being set up by mortals.
The second reason was that Lin Feng's words were "astonishing". With just a few words, he felt like he had a sudden enlightenment. He practiced in seclusion that day and within a few days he reached the middle stage of foundation building.
He has been making rapid progress since then, and is now at the peak of his mid-term cultivation.
Li Shutong attributed all this to Lin Feng, so he always took care of him and paid silent attention to him.
Li Shutong was only relieved that he had repeatedly solved "strange cases" and became the leader of the detective team, but his emotions did not change much.
It wasn't until today that he saw with his own eyes that Lin Feng's cultivation had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, that he really paid attention to him.
It should be noted that in just a few months, he has jumped from a rookie in the Immortal Sect to a being in the late stage of Qi refining, which is difficult even for a genius with spiritual roots.
For example, Li Tai, who was in the same period, was quite popular with his master Zhang Zhenren, and had a constant supply of various resources. He was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Lin Feng, who has a miscellaneous spiritual root, can achieve such an achievement, obviously he has his own destiny!
Opportunities are hard to come by, and even if they are encountered, not everyone can grasp them, so Li Shutong is more willing to believe that Lin Feng has good "understanding".
Compared with 'spiritual roots', which can be concretely quantified, 'comprehension' is more difficult to explain clearly, but it is undeniable that some people are better than most people.
Therefore, Li Shutong felt that he was not tricked by Li Tai's group of mortals, but that he owed them a huge favor.
After all, it is not easy to get two cultivation 'geniuses' at once.
As the 'guide' for the two of them, they will not forget him if they achieve anything in the future.
Of course, Li Shutong was from a 'scientific' background and had no shortage of 'Dharma couple, wealth and land', so he would not covet Lin Feng. If he were to build another foundation, he might not think so.
After chatting for a while, Li Shutong mentioned the "old boy" Liu Zizhuang again.
Doubt said he had not seen Lin Feng since last time, and asked Lin Feng if he knew the whereabouts of this person?
The old boy, Liu Zizhuang, had a particularly resounding self-proclaimed name: Master of the Bamboo Forest.
Lin Feng naturally knew his specific whereabouts, which was in a pile of loess in the wilderness near Zhufengfang City.
But Lin Feng naturally wouldn't say that. He had already prepared his words.
"Since the senior asked, the junior will tell you everything he knows!"
Lin Feng's attitude was very sincere and he said: "Last time, after Liu Zizhuang sent me to the Mennei Inn in Zhufengfang City, he said that the sect's 'fleet' would go to Heilonggufang City in a few days and let me take a ride.
"
"After that, he stopped caring about me and just drank with Mr. Chen in the hotel room. That night, I used the spiritual crystals you gave me to find a quiet room to practice Changchun Gong. After a few days, Mr. Chen suddenly came to me.
Said Liu Zizhuang is missing?"
"Then I followed him and searched again, but Liu Zizhuang was still nowhere to be found. Mr. Chen asked me to go back to Fangshi and he would search alone. I thought that both of them were seniors of Mana Gaosen, and their ability to deal with things was more than a hundred times better than mine.
We didn't cause any more trouble and returned to the inn alone. The next day, we took a boat to Heilonggufang City according to Liu Zizhuang's previous arrangements."
"I haven't heard anything about Liu Zizhuang since then. I heard about it today from my seniors and found out that he has never returned... Could it be that he encountered a disaster?"
Facing Lin Feng's rhetorical question, Li Shutong sighed and said with regret, "That's probably it."
When a monk is attacked and robbed, it can range from losing his land and wealth to losing his body and soul. These are all unavoidable events.
Although Li Shutong knew the 'result' almost exactly, he would never doubt that it was Lin Feng who did it.
After all, he was still a real rookie in the world of immortality at that time, and the other party was already an experienced cultivator who had established a foundation once. Under the thinking of a 'normal person', no one would think that Lin Feng killed Liu Zizhuang.
As for Lin Feng's 'encounter', Li Shutong guessed that it was on the boat he went to Heilonggufang City... After all, Li Dashan said in his letter to him that Lin Feng was at the 'fourth level of Qi Refining'... in three or four days
, going from zero cultivation to the fourth level of Qi refining can only be explained by a 'great opportunity'.
As mentioned before, Li Shutong was the most orthodox disciple in the famous sect, and he had no shortage of "Dharma couple, wealth and land", so he would not attract Lin Feng's attention.
He chatted with Lin Feng for a few more words, and in the other party's friendly inquiry, he briefly explained the cause of the incident at the 'Black Dragon Peak Ruins'.
Moreover, he also revealed a piece of news to Lin Feng: the Nine sects would also send monks in the foundation building stage to explore the ruins this time.
The foundation-building monks are exploring the inner core, while the Qi-refining monks are still doing peripheral activities.
Although Lin Feng was quite shocked by this, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, it had nothing to do with him.
Afterwards, Lin Feng explained his main purpose: to seek a handy magic weapon!
In the world of cultivating immortals, magical instruments are life-saving things and are very important to cultivators.
Roughly speaking, they are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower levels. Especially outstanding ones can also be called top-level magic weapons.
Lin Feng only has one 'magic weapon' now, which is the standard long sword given by the law enforcement team. It is considered to be 'medium grade' at best. He now wants a set of flying sword-type magic weapons, preferably a set of six, top grade.
Better!
Of course, he would not directly ask Li Shutong for free prostitution.
First of all, regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, even if it is given to him for free, he will not take it. After all, the most expensive thing in the world is 'free'.
He hoped that Li Shutong could show him a clear path.
…
In the evening, head to Fengfang City, Mennei Inn.
It was the same type of room a few months ago. After Lin Feng posted the isolation charm in the room, he patted the storage bag and six black 'sword needles' flew out from it and hovered in front of him.
This 'sword and needle' instrument is as its name suggests, resembling both a sword and a needle. It is smaller than a sword and thicker than a needle, about twenty centimeters, oval in shape, and the thickness of an ordinary writing brush.
Probably because of this, it has a very special name: Scholar Cone.
Despite its mediocre appearance, it was indeed a top-notch magic weapon that cost Lin Feng a full 600 spirit stones!
He recited the mantra silently, and suddenly, a strange change occurred on the black sword needle.
