Chapter 588: Longing to Enter the Spiritual Realm

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, over half a month had passed.

During this period, Dan Chen almost every day ran over to Lin Feng's place to share his feelings about using the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire to refine pills.

Lin Feng naturally enjoyed it as well, and over these dozen days, they almost always spoke openly, holding nothing back.

Meanwhile, during these days of interaction, their relationship grew much closer.

Furthermore, now Dan Chen no longer acts as gloomy as before when facing Lin Feng.

Their conversations also became much more frequent.

However, while Lin Feng and Dan Chen were happy, Cao Ying was quite displeased.

Thus, this woman would stir up trouble whenever she had the chance, causing both Lin Feng and Dan Chen to grit their teeth in anger.

As for Xiao Yan, Lin Feng has not seen him appear up to now.

"I wonder how much this tempering will strengthen my physique."

Within the dense forest of a certain mountain peak, Lin Feng gazed at the vat of multicolored liquid before him and muttered to himself.

This liquid was refined from three eighth-rank metal magic cores and numerous precious medicinal ingredients, intended to enhance his Myriad Gang Body Tempering Technique.

After all, due to many matters, his body-tempering battle technique had been neglected for a long time.

Now that he has finally managed to gather top-quality materials, he intends to improve his physique.

"Huff~"

He took a deep breath, removed his clothing, and lightly leapt into the white mutton-fat jade tub.

"Hiss, as expected of a body-tempering liquid blended from eighth-rank magic cores, it's really potent!"

Upon entering the tub, Lin Feng felt countless violent metal-attribute energies constantly drilling into his body.

A familiar intense pain once again spread throughout his body.

"Fortunately, with Feng'er's help earlier, my flesh has strengthened considerably; otherwise I truly wouldn't know if I could withstand the impact of this body-tempering liquid."

Lin Feng endured the pain and sighed, then began to practice the Myriad Gang Body Tempering Technique, closing his eyes to absorb this vast energy.

"Thousand Gang Body, manifest!"

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng in the tub suddenly let out a loud shout.

Suddenly, a blinding golden light burst forth from his body.

"With my current physique, I reckon I could rely on this Thousand Gang Body to fight a One-star Battle Venerable for a while, even without other means!"

Lin Feng opened his tightly shut eyes and exclaimed excitedly.

Although this bodily training is painful and resource-consuming, the effect is likewise excellent.

However, upon sensing that faint swelling within his body, Lin Feng involuntarily shook his head with disappointment and said, "It seems I'll need to wait a while longer before I can temper my body again; the energy from these three eighth-rank magic cores and all these medicinal ingredients is overly terrifying. If I don't first fully refine them, continuing to use the liquid for tempering risks bursting him apart."

Thinking this, Lin Feng immediately leapt out of the tub and put on his clothes.

After storing the tub in his storage ring, he flew toward his wooden dwelling.

"Senior Lin Feng, you've finally returned; we're almost late for this lesson."

Having just returned to his room, Lin Feng saw Dan Chen, who had been waiting a long time, stand up and let out a sigh of relief.

"That fast? I didn't expect that practicing the Myriad Gang Body Tempering Technique would make several days pass like this."

Hearing this, Lin Feng clicked his tongue and sighed.

He also hadn't imagined that a single body tempering would take this long.

The energy of these eighth-rank magic cores is indeed difficult to refine thoroughly.

"We're about to be late, Senior Lin Feng, stop sighing."

Having said that, she hurriedly grabbed Lin Feng's arm, unfurled her battle qi wings, and flew at full speed toward the square.

By the time Lin Feng and Dan Chen arrived at the square, everyone else had already gathered; only they were missing.

"What were you two doing, arriving so late?"

Seeing the two arrive, Elder Zhong frowned slightly.

Cao Ying, standing nearby, saw this and a hint of excitement flashed across her charming face.

These two guys she dislikes finally have their day.

"Elder Zhong, I'm really sorry; I was practicing battle techniques earlier and lost track of time."

Lin Feng, seeing this, quickly bowed his hands in apology.

"This time I won't say more; next time, it must not happen again."

Elder Zhong admonished them both, then pointed to the people sitting cross-legged to the side and said, "Everyone, find a seat first; class is now starting."

"Yes."

Lin Feng and Dan Chen responded, then chose an open spot to sit down.

Afterward, Elder Zhong began explaining some points about alchemy.

As for Lin Feng, after sitting down, he quickly shoved a jade bottle and a slip of paper into Dan Chen's hands.

Dan Chen, upon receiving the items, was somewhat puzzled.

Nevertheless, he opened the slip, his eyes quickly scanning the few characters condensed from battle qi on it.

But when she finished reading the slip, a surge of excitement and delight rose in her beautiful eyes.

Then, her little hand fondly touched the jade bottle containing the earth core lotus seed.

However, considering the moment, it wasn't suitable to take them out for close examination.

She could only suppress her excitement, place the jade bottle into her storage ring, and then give Lin Feng a faint smile.

Lin Feng, seeing this, also gestured, indicating that he owed her for the delay and compensation was necessary.

However, Cao Ying, who had been secretly watching the two, couldn't help but furrow her brows upon seeing this.

She also had no idea what those two were up to.

Time flew by; this ten‑day course, spent in listening to lectures and refining pills, quickly passed.

And when Lin Feng saw class end, he hurriedly called out to stop Zhong Lao, who was about to leave.

"Lin Feng, what's the matter?"

Being called by the former, Zhong Lao turned and spoke somewhat strangely.

"Hehe, Zhong Lao, this junior would like to take some time off."

Lin Feng laughed, scratched the back of his head, then stated his purpose this time.

Upon hearing that, Zhong Lao, somewhat puzzled, said: "You shouldn't have anything to do now; why take time off?"

"I intend to enter seclusion to break through the barrier of the Mortal Realm and enter a higher realm!"

Lin Feng didn't waste words, directly stating his reason.

"Attempt to break into the Spirit Realm?"

Hearing this, Zhong Lao's brows furrowed slightly, then he slowly said: "I'm not trying to undermine your confidence, but breaking into the Spirit Realm isn't as simple as you think. Your soul power is indeed not weak, yet attempting to break into the Spirit Realm, you're still somewhat lacking."

Back then, his soul power was far greater than Lin Feng's current level.

Yet even so, he failed several times before finally succeeding.

"Don't worry, Zhong Lao; I also have a few tricks up my sleeve, which is why I dared to ask you for leave this time—I have an eighty percent chance of succeeding in breaking through!"

Lin Feng smiled confidently and explained to him.
