Chapter 60: Jiangzhou's Feng Family

  Leaving the wine building, Xu Yu directly rushed towards his residence.

  This time, a lot of spiritual energy was consumed again in the war. Even his original 24 physical strength fell to 18 with the display of Treading on Air Step. To recover, he would need twenty-four hours of sleep.

  It's probably this time, and it's hard not to ask for leave.

  Fortunately, he was in the Bureau of Foreign Trade, and taking a leave wasn't a difficult matter. After pulling out his phone and making a call, Xu Yu couldn't help but smile wryly again. This Void Step was indeed powerful, but its consumption was not light either. At least when he used to practice ordinary acquired martial skills, he had never been in such a predicament before.

  Until finally arriving at his residence, Xu Yu once again fell into a deep sleep without any hesitation.

  ………

  "What did you say? Someone used a Tianxuan-level martial skill to beat you up like this?" The next afternoon, in the northern district of Jiangcheng, Nanjing Province, in a deep and spacious courtyard, in an anciently decorated living room, accompanied by an extremely shocking exclamation, the old man who was originally sitting in the main seat suddenly stood up, looking incredulously at Feng Qifan below.

  It was not just the old man, but also the other two men in the hall, who were all startled by these words and looked straight at Feng Qifan.

  At this time, Feng Qifan's appearance was indeed miserable. One of his right arms hung prominently in front of his chest, seemingly without any sensation. His face was also swollen and bruised, making it difficult to distinguish his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose unless one looked closely.

  Even the people sitting there are all seniors of Feng Qi Fan, and they can be said to have seen him grow up. It took a lot of effort to recognize that he is the most outstanding talent among the younger generation of the Feng family.

  It can be imagined that the three people were shocked and angry when they first saw Feng Qifan.

  But when Feng Qifan said that the one who had injured him was actually a newcomer in the middle of his cultivation, yet could wield Heavenly Mystery-level martial skills, everyone else suddenly forgot all their anger and became bewildered.

  Tian Xuan-level martial skill?! In today's era where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so thin, there are still people who can wield Tian Xuan-level martial skills?!

  "Grandfather, this is what I saw with my own eyes. Before that person displayed the Tianxuan-level martial skill, he actually gathered all the spiritual energy within a radius of several hundred meters and reached the limit of his display. I think it's also because he can gather spiritual energy that the Lin family in Linzhou went to such great lengths during the last Qixing event. However, I really can't understand how someone at the middle stage of cultivation could possibly gather spiritual energy..."

  Looking at the elderly man who was quite shocked in front of him, and the roughly similar expressions of others in the hall.

  Feng Qifan's heart was also slightly trembling, the Feng family in Jiangzhou and the Lin family were in a completely different situation. If it could be said that everything the Lin family had in Linzhou was created by Lin Yan alone, then the Feng family had a long history of at least several hundred years if one wanted to trace it back.

  Nowadays, among the older generation of the Feng family, there are three powerful individuals in the later stages of their cultivation, nearing the peak. Moreover, Jiangzhou's Lin family has always had at least two or more powerful individuals in the later stages of their cultivation guarding it, and occasionally, even a powerful individual in the Spiritual Movement stage would appear.

  For a long time, the wealth and connections accumulated by the Feng family were beyond measure, far surpassing those of the Lin family.

  This is also why, at first, when Feng Qi Fan found out that he had lost face to the Lin family, he didn't have many scruples about what he did. And now, the old man sitting in the main seat is the current master of the Feng family, Feng Mu Zhe.

  Unlike Lin Yan, who is over eighty years old, Feng Mu Zhe is now only around seventy years old. With his cultivation approaching the Spiritual Movement period, he looks more like an ordinary sixty-year-old man, and his spirit is extremely vigorous.

  Apart from Feng Mu Zhe, there were two others in the hall, namely Feng Mu Yuan and Feng Mu Xie, who had also reached the late stage of refinement.

  But one thing is certain, once they learn that Xu Yu possesses the treasure that gathers spiritual energy, none of these old men will be able to resist the temptation.

  As expected, with Feng Qifan's explanation, the three people who were already shocked by Feng Muzhe's words became even more astonished and uncertain, but immediately afterwards, a hint of madness appeared in their eyes once again.

  "Qí Fān, are you suspecting that he has the ultimate treasure that can gather spiritual energy?" Feng Muzhe's voice trembled with a mixture of shock and fervor as he spoke.

  "Except for that treasure, Sun Er couldn't think of how he did all that." Feng Qifan nodded affirmatively and then didn't say another word.

  And his words also thoroughly excited Feng Mu Zhe and the other two people.

  "Yes, a mid-stage cultivator like him can actually gather spiritual energy. Apart from having a treasure, there's no other explanation for this."

  "Such a treasure, if it falls into our hands, that spiritual period..."

  ……

  In a moment of excitement, Feng Mu Yuan and Feng Mu Xie both trembled as they opened their mouths, but only for an instant, the three people suddenly fell silent again.

  But even if they knew that Xu Yu had such a treasure in his hands, what could they do?

  After being able to wield Tianxuan-level martial skills, they have already surpassed Lingdong period strongmen to some extent. In a private showdown, they simply had no grasp of the situation. Even if they had the support of the Lin family from other aspects, they still had no way to make a move.

  However, in the midst of this silence, Feng Mu Zhe and the other two exchanged a glance, each seeing an unusual glint in the others' eyes. They nodded to each other again, without leaving any trace. Then, Feng Mu Zhe suddenly spoke up to Feng Qi Fan, "Qi Fan, don't worry, we will not stand idly by this time. That Xu Yu will definitely pay the price for hurting you!!"

  At that moment, Feng Qifan was overjoyed on the spot. He reported such news to his superiors, not only to show off in front of the older generation but also with a mind for revenge.

  After all, he had only one right arm, and under Xu Yu's blow, it was thoroughly crippled. With the degree of bone fracture, even with modern medical treatment, in the end, it was likely that he would not be able to fully recover. Such a deep grudge, he could not easily swallow.

  However, in the midst of his excitement, Feng Qifan's eyes also had a hint of doubt. What would these elders do to snatch that treasure from their opponents and exact revenge on them?

  After all, he also knew that relying on the other party's cultivation and with the help of the Lin family, it was not easy for the Feng family to get that thing.

  Seeing Feng Qifan's puzzled expression, Feng Mu Zhe and others suddenly laughed again, laughing even more meaningfully.

  It wasn't until a moment later that Feng Mu Zhe suddenly spoke up, "Actually, by now, there are some things that should have been told to you already. Your thoughts aren't wrong, with our current surface strength, it's indeed very difficult to take away that treasure from the opponent's hands. But the bottom line of our Feng family is far more than just these superficial powers."

  "Qifeng, do you know why in the modern era, under such a thin spiritual energy environment, I and your great-grandfathers, third-grandfather were all able to reach the later stages of cultivation? Were we really all born with innate talent that wouldn't be affected by the harsh environment of cultivation?"

  "You're wrong, actually the three of us are far inferior to you in terms of innate talent. The reason we've been able to reach our current level is because we had the opportunity to come into contact with dense spiritual energy. Although that opportunity wasn't many, it's also precisely because of this that my Feng family has never had a break in producing high-level cultivators in the later stages of cultivation over the course of hundreds of years, and sometimes can even produce a strong Spiritual Movement stage cultivator."

  "All of this is because behind the back of our Feng family, there is actually a Xiu Zhen sect holding down the fort!! As long as we are in the secular world and collect some rare treasures for them, we have the opportunity to enter the mountain gate to cultivate. The spiritual energy there is much denser than in the secular world, so even if our few old guys' cultivation talent isn't outstanding, we can still reach the later stage of self-cultivation. Originally, this matter, we were planning to wait until you entered the later stage of self-cultivation before telling you, and wanted to work hard for you to struggle for an opportunity to enter the mountain gate and break through the Ling Dong period..."

  "But now, if you can get that treasure that gathers spiritual energy, I believe the strong people in the sect will definitely reward you exceptionally, even if it means letting you stay in the sect until the Spiritual Movement period. It's not impossible to know that in modern times, even those legendary immortal blessed lands have spiritual energy that is not very dense, and not all cultivators understand the method of gathering spiritual arrays. So, such a treasure, even the strongest people in the sect cannot resist its temptation!!"

  …………

  As the three old men explained word by word, Feng Qifan, who was previously puzzled, suddenly froze there. It turned out that their Feng family had been able to stand for hundreds of years and always had a strong master sitting in town, and it was actually supported by a cultivation sect!

  Xiu Zhen Sect? Those legendary figures who can truly fly and escape, comparable to gods?

  If it's like this, then Xu Yu, isn't he...

  At this thought, Feng Qifan could no longer conceal the joy in his heart and became thoroughly excited.
