Two days passed quickly, and Qin Feng returned to Puying City again. Although the journey was dusty, two small good things happened.
With the help of Wanling Fruit, Li Ye finally raised his cultivation level to the fifth level of body tempering and successfully condensed the martial spirit. The martial spirit was ranked fourth grade and was a more special natural martial spirit.
spirit.
With a natural martial spirit, you can control the power of nature. This type of martial spirit is undoubtedly much more powerful than ordinary martial spirits. And it is ranked fourth level, which also means that Li Ye's cultivation level can easily rise to the level of
The realm of yin and yang.
Qin Feng had expected this incident, so he was not too surprised. On the contrary, the three masters who had just become Li Ye's slaves were extremely excited.
Li Ye possesses a fourth-grade martial spirit, which means that Li Ye's future achievements will be at least a strong man in the ninth level of Yin and Yang, and the natural martial spirit has inherent advantages over other martial spirits. Maybe Li Ye can reach the realm of true martial arts.
A Yin-Yang realm warrior definitely has a dominant position in Puying City. Even in the royal city, he is considered a big shot. And a Zhenwu realm warrior is powerful enough to influence the fate of a kingdom. Li Ye's potential is far beyond
their imagination.
This is undoubtedly the object they look up to.
The heads of the three families no longer had the previous unwillingness in their hearts. At this time, they had returned to their respective families and started arranging many cooperation with the Qin family with great enthusiasm.
Qin Feng's cultivation level also improved to the eighth level of body tempering after taking the Ten Thousand Spirit Fruit. However, what makes Qin Feng a little depressed is that he still has not mastered the martial soul skill.
It should be noted that under normal circumstances, warriors can master martial soul skills when they reach the sixth level of body tempering. Qin Feng's martial soul has been transformed by that trace of dragon energy and is more powerful than before. Therefore, Qin Feng's cultivation level can be mastered after reaching the body tempering level.
At the seventh level, he still failed to master martial arts skills.
But according to Qin Feng's guess, he should be able to master martial soul skills at the eighth level of body tempering. However, at this time, he had already reached the eighth level of body tempering, but still could not master the martial soul skills.
"Such strange things are unique even if we look at the entire history of cultivation in the Shenwu Continent. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." Qin Feng sighed secretly.
However, at this moment, a guard suddenly reported to Qin Feng: "Master of the family, Master Chen Pavilion of Wanbao Pavilion wants to see you."
"Chen Xingping? Please come in quickly." Qin Feng said.
Within a moment, the guards led Chen Xingping over.
"Haha, Mr. Qin, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing?" Chen Xingping smiled with a smile on his face. He originally planned to say some polite words to Qin Feng, but when he saw Qin Feng, the original smile on his face changed.
, instantly turned into shock. "You actually broke through again?"
Chen Xingping remembered that he first met Qin Feng half a month ago. At that time, Qin Feng was only at the fourth level of body tempering.
A few days ago, when he saw Qin Feng again, Qin Feng's cultivation had reached the seventh level of body tempering. He was shocked by this at the time. However, Qin Feng only went to the royal city for a trip, and when he came back
, his cultivation level unexpectedly broke through again, reaching the eighth level of body tempering.
Others have been practicing hard for a year and a half, enduring countless hardships, and have finally been able to advance to a level. But he has been promoted to level four in just half a month?
This is too perverted.
"It's just that I have better luck. Such trivial matters are not worth mentioning." Qin Feng said lightly.
The corner of Chen Xingping's mouth suddenly twitched, and he couldn't help but feel crazy in his heart. "Just good luck? If these are just good luck, I'm afraid that all the good luck in the world will be monopolized by him, right?"
"Pavilion Master Chen came to see me. He must have something to say." Qin Feng asked.
Chen Xingping nodded and said solemnly: "Miss asked me to invite you to Wanbao Tower. She said that she has something very important to tell you."
"Is it something important?" Qin Feng was slightly surprised.
"I don't know the specifics. Let's talk about it when we get to Wanbao Tower," Chen Xingping said.
"Okay, I just have something to ask your lady for help." Qin Feng nodded and said.
The two left the Qin family and soon arrived at Wanbao Tower and entered a secret room.
In the secret room, Nangong Yun had been waiting for a long time. Her dark eyebrows were slightly clustered, and there was a faint look of shock on her beautiful face, which made her look a little uneasy.
"What happened?" Qin Fengxiao asked.
"I heard from Chen Xingping that you also have something to say, so you can say it first," Nangong Yun said.
"I'm not in a hurry, so you should talk about it first." Qin Feng thought for a while and said.
Nangong Yun took a deep breath, sorted out her slightly confused thoughts, and said, "This matter has something to do with Lin Xue."
"Lin Xue?" Qin Fengwei was a little surprised. When he saw the sad look on Nangong Yun's face before, he thought something had happened to the Nangong family, but he didn't expect that what Nangong Yun was going to say was related to Lin Xue.
"Su Qiao'er is still alive. She has been secretly imprisoned by Lin Xiaotian for the past thirteen years." Nangong Yun said.
Su Qiaoer was Lin Xue's biological mother. There was a rumor in the royal city that Su Qiaoer was killed after Lin Xiaotian married Yuan Ziyi.
"Such a thing could happen!" Qin Feng was suddenly shocked, and at the same time, many doubts in his heart were solved one by one.
Back in the royal city, Qin Feng was very confused as to why Lin Xue would give in to Lin Xiaotian and agree to marry Prince Chu or the Sixth Prince, given his character.
It turns out that Su Qiaoer is still alive!
There is no doubt that this is Lin Xue's difficulty. For the life and death of Su Qiaoer, she must listen to Lin Xiaotian even if she has every reluctance in her heart.
"How did you know about this?" Qin Feng asked repeatedly.
Nangong Yun said: "A few days ago, you went to the Lin family in the royal city because of Lin Xue's matter. I knew that this matter was very important to you, so I used the power of the Nangong family to secretly inquire about matters related to Lin Xue."
Qin Feng looked directly into Nangong Yun's eyes and said: "This matter must be a secret of the Lin family. The Lin family has a lot of influence in the royal city. Even if your Nangong family wants to investigate, it won't be that easy."
Nangong Yun said calmly: "Yes, no clues were found at the beginning, and there was a lot of resistance. My approach even aroused opposition from many elders in the clan."
Nangong Yun paused and then said: "However, just when I was about to give up, something unexpected happened yesterday."
"Yesterday?" Yesterday, Qin Feng was still on his way back to Puying City.
Nangong Yun said: "Just yesterday, Yuan Ziyi, wearing a black robe, found me very carefully and told me that Su Qiaoer was not dead yet."
"It's actually Yuan Ziyi!" Qin Feng was very surprised.
Yuan Ziyi is the daughter of the dean of Qianwu Academy and is Lin Xiaotian's current wife. He never expected that Yuan Ziyi would take the initiative to reveal this news.
"What is her purpose?" Qin Feng asked with a frown.
Nangong Yun shook her head: "She didn't say this, she just asked me to tell you the news."
Qin Feng nodded and fell into deep thought.
"Perhaps she is worried about her status. Lin Xiaotian wants Lin Xue to marry the royal family. The status of the Lin family will inevitably rise, and Su Qiaoer is not dead. If Lin Xue becomes the princess, Su Qiaoer will be the princess's biological mother. This is definitely not what Yuan Ziyi wants to see. Something." Nangong Yun analyzed.
"You mean, Yuan Ziyi deliberately uses me to destroy Lin Xiaotian's plan? To prevent Lin Xue from marrying into the royal family?" Qin Feng understood what Nangong Yun meant.
"From the perspective of personal interests, it is very possible." Nangong Yun nodded.
"Regardless of Yuan Ziyi's purpose, this matter is not a bad thing for me after all. Did she tell where Su Qiaoer was being held?" Qin Feng said solemnly.
"Deep in the Hidden Mist Mountain." Nangong Yun said.
"It's really hidden." Qin Feng frowned secretly.
There are ferocious beasts all over Yinwu Mountain, and the four courtyards of the royal city are built around the mountain. It is said that the purpose is to suppress the ferocious beasts on the mountain so that they will not come down from the mountain and cause trouble to the kingdom.
"In short, Yinwu Mountain is undoubtedly a dangerous place in Daqian Kingdom, but it is also the best place to hide secrets in the kingdom. No one wants to go to that place, and no one wants to go deep. Especially in the past ten years or so. "Previously, a heavy fog that persisted all year round suddenly appeared in the mountains. Even those who are strong in the Yin and Yang realm will get lost in it if they are not careful." Nangong Yun said.
"Well, I know about this." Qin Feng nodded, already making plans in his mind.
He must go to Hidden Wu Mountain. As long as he rescues Su Qiaoer from the mountain, Lin Xue will have no worries. It will be much easier for him to rescue Lin Xue from Lin Mansion.
But this is not something that can be done now.
Hidden Mist Mountain is guarded by the Four Courts of the Royal City. If you enter rashly, you will definitely attract the attention of interested people. The best way is to sneak into the Four Courts of the Royal City first, find an opportunity, and sneak into the Hidden Mist Mountain without anyone noticing.
"By the way, didn't you say that you also have something to tell me?" Nangong Yun suddenly asked.
"I originally planned to ask you to help investigate Lin Xue's matter, but I didn't expect you had already done it. Thank you so much." Qin Feng said with a smile.
After Nangong Yun heard this word of thanks, for some reason, instead of being happy, she felt a little bit disappointed.
Two people who are truly close to each other will never say thank you...
Nangong Yun bit her lip secretly and thought to herself: "Can the relationship between him and me only be a mutually beneficial relationship? Is there nothing else? Even...friendship is fine."
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Qin Feng said with a smile.
But Qin Feng's smile fell in Nangong Yun's eyes, but it looked so polite and distant...
"Wait a minute." Nangong Yun suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Qin Feng was slightly confused.
"The martial arts competition between the four academies is approaching, and I want you to give priority to Lingxiao Academy," Nangong Yun said.
Qin Feng almost didn't hesitate, nodded and said: "Okay."
Nangong Yun was stunned for a moment and then said: "This is just my personal wish. It has nothing to do with the Nangong family or my master. Maybe Lingxiao Academy can't give you too many benefits."
Qin Feng was a little confused and didn't understand what this little girl was thinking.
In Qin Feng's eyes, no matter which college he enters among the four colleges in the royal city, there will be no big difference. Because no matter what kind of favorable conditions those colleges offer, in Qin Feng's eyes, they are not worth mentioning.
Under this situation, even if Nangong Yun didn't tell him, he would give priority to joining Lingxiao Academy. After all, Nangong Yun has been very good to him during these days.
"I promise you." Qin Feng nodded and smiled.
Nangong Yun was a little stunned, but she was secretly surprised. "He actually agreed? And he didn't mention any conditions?"
"This seems to be no longer a simple cooperative relationship..."
