Chapter Twelve: The Strange Appearance of Eating Fruits

  Upon hearing this, Gao Feng's heart was slightly suspicious. Why did Gao Tianhe want to hit Gao Jincai? Although Gao Tianhe had been very friendly in the morning, after all, Gao Jincai had set up a killing game yesterday.

  In his heart, he thought and walked forward again. Those two people from the Gao family who were chatting idly by the wall only discovered that Gao Feng was approaching. Both of them greeted him politely, as Gao Feng was now a celebrated figure in the clan and couldn't be treated with neglect.

  After exchanging a few pleasantries, Gao Feng walked to the front of his own courtyard when he could still hear the envious whispers of those two people behind him. Just as he opened the door, he heard the sound of the bell from the Bell Drum Tower, which was the time-reporting sound. Upon hearing this, Gao Feng's footsteps, which were about to enter the door, suddenly stopped. From the Town Demon Division to the Fēng Tiān Hóu Fǔ, this distance, he had walked before, and it would take at least half an hour, but judging by the time now, it was less than a quarter of an hour, how could he have walked so fast!

  Back home, Gao Feng simply tidied up and came to the courtyard. Although it was already dark, he couldn't wait to practice the Xiantian Hunyuan Zhen Shen Jue. Earlier on the road, the true energy in his body surged, that feeling made Gao Feng extremely fascinated. For a martial artist, the body and true energy are fundamental. The surging of true energy also means greater power and strength, making him even more eager to grasp it.

  Standing in the courtyard, as he had when practicing before, calming his mind and spirit, Gao Feng discovered that his senses were much sharper than they had been. He wanted to calm down, but found that sounds from all directions were reaching his ears: the calls of insects, the rustling of the wind, the sound of fire burning next door, even the scurrying of mice could be heard. Next door in Fourth Uncle's house, someone was chopping vegetables; in the eastern wing of the compound, two children in Sixth Uncle's household were quarreling; whose dog had run off again - all these things he could hear clearly.

  Gao Feng took a deep breath, cleared his mind, recalled the human-shaped demonstration, and began to move. Walking on the street in broad daylight, just letting the true energy flow according to the Town Spirit Seal method had such an effect. Now, doing every move and style, he didn't know what kind of extraordinary effect it would have.

  By the time he reached the second formula, Gao Feng discovered that the true energy in his body had completely calmed down and was not flowing. It was as if he were standing by a windless lake, with the surface of the water not moving at all, truly quiet, without even any undercurrents.

  Although this experience is strange, it's also reasonable for such a wonderful technique to be unusual. Gaofeng is young but not impulsive and continues to practice there.

  The movements and techniques of the Zhēn Shén Jué seem to have a wonderful rhythm, as long as one practices, they will fall into a state where no matter how sensitive their senses are, they will calm down and become oblivious to the distinction between self and object.

  As night fell, it slowly became deep in the night. Gao Feng was still standing in the courtyard practicing his skills. He didn't even feel the passage of time, but he felt a difference with this Town Spirit Incantation. Although it was quiet, it wasn't motionless. The true energy seemed like a calm lake, but the surface of this lake was unknowingly rising, and rivers and streams from all directions were constantly flowing into it... Gao Feng vaguely felt that his body was continuously absorbing... More accurately, something from all directions was constantly surging into his body, transforming into true energy.

  Unbeknownst to him, the night had passed and when Gao Feng stopped practicing, he was shocked to find that the sky had already lightened. Today was the day he would go to the Town Demon Division for his shift, and as it was his first day on duty, he definitely couldn't be late. There wasn't even time for sleep now. It was strange, though - having not slept all night, his spirit was still very good, without any feeling of fatigue.

  Looking at the sky that had already turned somewhat white, Gao Feng shook his head and smiled wryly. After experiencing the ups and downs of life and death, too many strange things had happened to him, and he no longer felt any surprise at these unusual events.

  After just one night of practicing the Town God's Secret, Gao Feng had a realization about himself. He could feel that his true energy was much stronger than it had been the day before. In the past when he practiced the Mixed Yuan Technique, even though he didn't dare to slack off, he still couldn't feel any difference between day and night. It would take a whole season or year for him to feel the changes in the true energy within his body. But this time, after just one night of practice, he could already feel himself making progress.

  Although he had a good harvest, Gao Feng's heart was filled with a hint of regret. He had planned everything well and even bought some fruit, intending to see if he could once again enter the mountain and have a few words with that mysterious person. Gao Feng's heart was full of longing, knowing that going there might bring new adventures, and besides, since childhood, he had always been living a hardworking and careful life, but on top of that great mountain, his mood was cheerful, without any worries, and he felt a sense of intimacy, truly wanting to return.

  However, the most important thing to do today is to go to the Demon Suppression Division to report for duty. The Demon Suppression Division is very far from Fengtian Square, and newcomers always need to arrive early to be on time. Gaofeng understands this principle, so he doesn't have time to comprehend his skills, and hastily packs up to head out.

  The robe is the style of a sixth-grade military general, the difference is that there is an additional set of leather armor, which also means that the Demon-Suppressing Army is always ready for battle, but now it's just a robe style, with a waist card hanging on it.

  After being busy, Gao Feng's stomach growled a few times. He only then reacted and realized that he hadn't eaten for a whole day and night. Moreover, he had been running around everywhere, and only now did he feel the emptiness in his abdomen.

  Looking for something to eat, but saw the apples and pears bought back yesterday. Gao Feng only then remembered that he was planning to sleep with these two fruits in hand yesterday, wondering if they could be brought along.

  The fruit remained, and upon counting, the only edible ones were those two crimson fruits. After all this time, their fragrance had faded significantly, but their color and luster remained perfect. Gaofeng picked one up, casually wiped it clean, and took a bite.

  The scarlet fruit was extremely crisp, and as soon as it entered the mouth, it had just been chewed, the pulp turned into a liquid, and the skin didn't leave any residue, directly entering the stomach and intestines. What surprised Gao Fang was that although it looked so tempting and had an excellent texture, this fruit didn't have even a bit of flavor, and was even more tasteless than plain water.

  Although it was tasteless, it could indeed fill the belly. After eating a few mouthfuls, he only felt warmth spreading throughout his body and his hunger had vanished without a trace. Gao Feng had been practicing martial arts for many years, so his appetite was quite large. The fruit wasn't even as big as a fist, yet after eating just one, he was full.

  Gaofeng had heard many legendary stories since childhood, which said that the heavenly palace paradise grew immortal peaches, eating one could gain immortality. The fruit was full after eating, with a strong fragrance, and it was also magical. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a few more points of yearning for that mountain.

  Just as he was about to go out, Gao Feng found that the room had brightened a bit. Although the sky outside was whitening, the room was still pitch black and no lights were lit. Where did this light come from? This has nothing to do with eyesight. The answer was soon found - his hands were glowing. Looking again, Gao Feng discovered that it was his own skin that was glowing, from the inside out, with a faint glow emanating from under his skin...
