  Today is the day of the college entrance examination, I wish all the book friends who are taking the exam can achieve their desired results, come on!!

  The free trading market in the east of the city, Lin Feng had never been there before. Although it was mostly low-level cultivators at the Qi Refining stage who gathered there, and what they sold were also low-level materials or magic treasures, techniques, etc., but it wasn't a place that someone like him, a 'poor kid', could afford to go - his spirit stones weren't even enough for cultivation, let alone having extra to buy things.

  So when Lin Feng arrived at the free market, he was shocked by the bustle of this small place. This free market is similar to a flea market on Earth, with basically no professional stores, just a area where people freely set up stalls, crowded with people and noisy with voices, what a lively scene.

  Lin Feng was shocked for the first time to realize that there were actually so many low-ranking cultivators in Qingyun City...

  He only had two inferior spirit stones on him, and many 'good things' Lin Feng didn't even have the qualifications to ask the price of. Ignoring the enthusiastic calls of the stall owners along the way, he walked around the market in a self-satisfied manner, looking for what he needed.

  First-rate iron and first-rate wind system ore are not hard to find, but first-rate fire scorpion blood is somewhat precious. This thing must be obtained by hunting and killing monsters outside the city, although it's only a first-rate monster, it's not something that ordinary Qi-refining cultivators can do.

  After wandering around for half an hour, Lin Feng finally found a stall selling scorpion blood. After some haggling over the price, he bought a small jar about the size of his fist with a low-grade spirit stone.

  Two more materials were also bought at a stall, and another inferior spirit stone was spent.

  Lin Feng had been working at Zhen Bao Ge for so long that he was not unfamiliar with the prices of these materials, so he didn't get ripped off - besides, he also didn't have any extra spiritual stones to be ripped off.

  Up until now, Lin Feng's body was truly clean and bright, two months' 'salary' had been spent completely.

  But Lin Feng didn't have the mood to care about these spirit stones anymore. After buying everything he needed, he immediately hurried back home...

  ……

  At the same time, in another place within Qingyun City...

  In a somewhat cluttered room, a figure sat cross-legged on the bed, like an old monk in meditation, cultivating himself.

  This man is none other than the muscular man who robbed Lin Feng yesterday. His name is Han Tie, and he was the leader of the group of four people yesterday. In the southern part of the city, he has a certain reputation and is known as "Iron Boss".

  After an unknown period of time, Han Tie woke up from his cultivation, spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

  "Heh heh, looking at this situation... it won't be long before I break through to the 7th layer of Qi Refining and enter the later stage of Qi Refining, great..."

  The Xiu Zhen boundary is divided into nine major boundaries: Qi Gong, Zhu Ji, Jin Dan, Yuan Ying, Hua Shen, Lian Xu, He Ti, Da Cheng, and Du Jie. Each major boundary is further divided into nine layers, with the first three layers being the initial stage, the middle three layers being the intermediate stage, and the last three layers being the advanced stage. If one reaches the peak of a boundary after passing through the nine layers, it is called "Da Yuan Man". Breaking through this will allow progress to the next boundary.

  It is said that after the Great Tribulation, one can ascend to immortality by experiencing the Immortal Tribulation and go to the Immortal Realm. However, this is only a legend - for 20,000 years, no one on the Moon Cloud Continent has successfully ascended.

  Han Tie was just an ordinary loose cultivator, he didn't even dare to think about Yuan Ying or Golden Dan, being able to build his foundation would be a great fortune, that way he could at least live for over a hundred years, now he was about to break through to the seventh layer of Qi Refining, he was in a very good mood.

  After withdrawing his power, Han Tie did not get up, but instead took out a black ring from his bosom, and the joy in his eyes became even more intense.

  "Unbelievable... unbelievable... I, Han Tie, actually got a Nascent Ring. Is this the legendary 'opportunity'? Haha!" Han Tie muttered to himself with a self-satisfied expression, then slightly furrowed his brow and said, "However, this Nascent Ring has been sealed with a restrictive seal, no wonder that kid couldn't use it... Heh heh, but this also means there must be something good inside. As long as I advance to the Foundation Establishment realm, I should be able to open it, right? I'm really looking forward to it..."

  As for the seal within the Nanwu Ring, Han Tie didn't think of going to find someone else's help to open it - he wasn't stupid, this kind of thing should be kept hidden by oneself. If one were to go and ask a more powerful cultivator for help in removing the restrictive seal, what if the other person took it for themselves?

  Just as Han Tie was secretly pleased with himself, a sudden urgent footsteps came from outside, and then the door was pushed open, and a tall and thin man walked in quickly.

  Han Tie frowned slightly and said: "Fourth brother, what are you doing? What's going on?"

  A tall and thin man with a slightly gloomy expression said, "Big brother, just now Cao Yang that kid came to report that yesterday that kid didn't die!! This morning he appeared again in Zhenbao Pavilion as if nothing had happened! Moreover, he secretly bought a mid-grade magic tool and a talisman, and then went towards the East City Free Market, it seems like he's preparing something, very likely wanting to come find trouble with us!"

  "What?! He didn't die after all? And he still wants revenge?"

  Han Tie was taken aback for a moment, and after reacting, he sneered: "Heh heh, really courting death! Since that's the case... then we'll just 'kill' him again!"

  Learning that Lin Feng surprisingly didn't die and even 'dared' to seek revenge, Han Tie immediately revived his murderous intentions. He vowed that no matter what, he wouldn't let him take it back, and he must silence him!

  "He also bought some medium-grade magic tools and talismans? Heh heh...... I'll just take these things without being polite! Go, call up Second Brother and Third Brother, we're going to ransack that kid's house!"

  …………

  ……

  Lin Feng returned home after noon, he casually bought a few buns and went straight back to his own home.

  His house's location was actually not bad, it's just that over the past decade the surrounding buildings have gradually changed, and his house has become increasingly desolate and remote. Now, it's basically turned into a 'commoner district', with almost all of its residents being ordinary people. If you were to say 'cultivator', there would only be him left.

  To cultivate, a lot of resources are needed, ordinary mortals can't afford it, and some people don't even have spiritual roots, so they can't cultivate.

  By earthly standards, Lin Feng's home was actually not small: a standard two-bedroom living room kitchen and bathroom, and in front of the house there was also a small courtyard.

  Back home, closing the door, entering his own bedroom, Lin Feng hastily took out all the things.

  With the linked fireball symbol in his right hand and the small jar of Fire Scorpion blood in his left, Lin Feng thought for a moment before placing the symbol directly on top of the jar. Then, he silently chanted: "Repair..."

  The moment the command was given, Lin Feng felt that the true energy in his body began to slowly dissipate, and at the same time, a strange power seemed to be gathering in front of him. A red glow appeared, enveloping the talisman and small jar in his hand...

  It was only a few seconds, but to Lin Feng, it seemed like an eternity. He felt the talisman in his right hand grow slightly warm, as if it had ignited.

  Finally, when the true energy in his body stopped leaking out, the red glow in front of him also disappeared instantly, and a string of information appeared in his mind:

  "Repair successful."

  "Equipment damage degree: 0."

  "No repair needed."

  Lin Feng's eyes flashed with joy, and he fixed his gaze on the talisman in his hand. He found that the entire talisman was emitting a warm glow, and the originally dim symbols on it had solidified into clear and distinct characters, making the talisman look like it had just been made!!

  "It's too unbelievable..."

  Lin Feng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, although he didn't know how to create talismans, he at least knew that making a talisman required special talisman paper, a talisman brush, and the ability to draw talisman characters, as well as being able to communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to infuse it into the talisman. The process was extremely complex and difficult, but when it came to himself... he didn't need to do anything at all! He just needed to prepare the materials and then use his skills.

  Excitedly, Lin Feng flipped the spell symbol back and forth for a while, almost unable to resist the urge to try firing two fireballs. However, he eventually put the spell symbol away and looked at the small jar again, discovering that there was still more than half of the Fire Scorpion Blood left inside, with only about 20-30% having been consumed earlier.

  That is to say, as long as he doesn't use up all the magical energy of the talisman until it's destroyed, these Fire Scorpion Bloods can still repair the talisman three or four more times!

  He carefully sealed the remaining scorpion blood and put it under the bed, Lin Feng picked up the flying return arm guard and that one piece of fist-sized first-class wind system crystal.

  Muttering "repair" in his heart, after a few breaths, the essence mine disappeared, and the flying return arm guard in Lin Feng's right hand was brand new.

  Finally, that short sword was also repaired.

  He refastened the armguard on his right arm, sheathed the short sword and hung it at his waist, a look of satisfaction appearing in Lin Feng's eyes.

  "Hmm... After repairing three pieces of equipment, the true energy in my body has been almost depleted. I guess it's still because my strength is too low..."

  Lin Feng felt the remaining true energy in his body, muttered to himself, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to regulate his breath.

  ……

  About half an hour later, Lin Feng opened his eyes again, and a white misty air was spat out of his mouth. He looked refreshed and clear-headed once more, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

  "Could it be that my cultivation has actually increased slightly?! Is it possible that using the Repair Technique can have the same effect as cultivating?! If so, then if I use the Repair Technique frequently, shouldn't my cultivation growth be much faster than before?!"

  Lin Feng was excitedly thinking, his heart leaping with joy. His cultivation speed had always been much slower than others, and he felt that his cultivation talent was probably very poor, not even reaching the level of 'ordinary'. He had always been resentful about this, but now he discovered that the repair technique actually helped with cultivation, which made him overjoyed.

  "First, find a way to get the ring back, then focus on planning how to use the repair technique to earn some spirit stones. It seems that in the future, resources for cultivation won't be lacking... great..."

  Lin Feng clenched his fists tightly and gradually felt a sense of clarity in his heart, thinking that the road ahead was bright.

  BOOM!!!!!

  Just then, a muffled sound suddenly came from outside, startling Lin Feng.

  It sounded like someone had kicked open the big gate outside the courtyard! And then, a series of footsteps came in.

  Lin Feng's expression suddenly solidified, as if he had thought of something, and immediately got up and walked out.

  As expected, when he opened the door to his home, he immediately saw that there were four more people in the courtyard. The moment he saw these four people, Lin Feng's pupils constricted and a hint of uncontrollable anger and hatred flashed in his eyes!

  It goes without saying that the people who came were Han Tie and the other three!

  Lin Feng did not expect that before he went to look for them, they actually came to his doorstep on their own!
