Chapter 6: Lin Feng’s Great Opportunity
Gulp.
Wiping the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Chen brought forth the Ten-Turn Harmonious Spirit Pill and Clearing Mind Awakening Spirit Pill, making the corners of his mouth wet again.
"Should I consume them? Gulp~"
"I'm unsure how long the breakthrough will take, even with these pills."
"Previously, breaking through a small realm took days; these pills will surely shorten that duration..."
Jiang Chen found himself in a quandary. He desperately wanted to enhance his strength for his own safety.
However, he was concerned about missing the perfect opportunity to confront Lin Feng.
"No matter, dealing with Lin Feng is of utmost importance!"
"Now, at his weakest, perhaps I can seize his 'Great Opportunity'!"
After a few moments of contemplation, Jiang Chen made his decision.
He glanced at the Wind Void Steps and the Moondust Ring, then hung the latter around his neck as a pendant, concealing it within his lapel.
Shortly after.
He stowed the Wind Void Steps and other valuable items inside the Moondust Ring.
Jiang Chen opted not to remove the ordinary storage bracelet from his wrist, using it to mask the presence of the Moondust Ring.
Having done this.
Jiang Chen swiftly rose and dashed towards the courtyard's exit.
Upon leaving the formation.
"Senior Brother Jiang Chen..."
A white figure approached, flying to meet him. It was the talkative female disciple from earlier at the mountain gate.
"Junior Sister Yao, it's you? What's going on?"
Jiang Chen inquired with a detached expression.
He discreetly activated the 'Villain's Eye', but no reaction occurred.
This indicated that Junior Sister Yao was merely a passerby in Lin Feng's life.
"Earlier at the mountain gate, I don't know why I blurted out those words. I'm sorry, please forgive me!"
Junior Sister Yao apologized with a contrite expression, avoiding direct eye contact with Jiang Chen.
After reflecting on the earlier incident, she believed she had misunderstood Jiang Chen and sought to apologize out of respect and regret.
"Oh, it's fine, I forgive you."
"I need to head to the Deacon Hall for some errands, so you should return first."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly, spoke casually, and prepared to depart.
But just then.
"Ah, what a coincidence! I'm also going to the Deacon Hall. May I ask Senior Brother to accompany me?"
Senior Sister Yao looked surprised, as if she found Jiang Chen quite amiable and was eager to strengthen their connection.
"..."
"No, I'm rather busy."
Jiang Chen was momentarily speechless, then promptly left, leaving behind a somewhat disappointed Junior Sister Yao.
A few steps later.
[Ding! You have slightly altered the plot, gaining 100 points of Villain Value!]
"Hmm!?"
"Changed the plot?"
"And earned 100 Villain Value points!"
"Could it be that, in the original plot, 'I' agreed to accompany Junior Sister Yao and didn't immediately pursue Lin Feng?"
"That's plausible; after all, Junior Sister Yao is rather attractive."
"And 'I' never considered Lin Feng a significant threat, but rather a trivial nuisance that could be dealt with at any time."
"Thus, 'I', due to Junior Sister Yao's presence, didn't chase after Lin Feng, inadvertently granting him precious time to grow."
"Moreover, it's likely that Lin Feng, a mere 'nuisance', was simply overlooked, and by the time his rise was discovered, it was already too late."
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, a contemplative glint within them.
This person, Junior Sister Yao, didn't share a close relationship with Lin Feng, so her actions were unintentional.
It must be Lin Feng's Heavenly Fate at play, his protagonist status exerting its influence.
When Junior Sister Yao mentioned that her words under the mountain gate were a slip of the tongue, it wasn't a lie; she genuinely didn't dare to say otherwise.
Thus, at that time, she too was swayed by Lin Feng's Heavenly Fate.
"Ah, the power of a protagonist status is truly remarkable!"
"Fortunately, I'm now aware of this deadly, threatening aspect of his and won't overlook him any longer..."
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes as he lightly tapped his feet and soared onward.
As for Junior Sister Yao, she was merely an unwitting bystander, imperceptibly impacted by Lin Feng's Heavenly Fate.
Even if she were removed... As long as Lin Feng's protagonist status persisted, others like her would continue to emerge.
As Jiang Chen dashed toward the mountain gate's exit,
In the midst of an incredibly treacherous mountain path,
A feeble figure stumbled forward - none other than Lin Feng.
"Jiang Chen actually didn't kill me..."
"Is he truly that kind-hearted?"
"No... Based on what I know about him, he's definitely the sinister type!"
"He didn't kill me today because he wanted to cultivate a positive image in front of the other disciples, right!"
"I also don't know if that hypocritical person, Jiang Chen, will secretly come after me to finish the job..."
Lin Feng murmured as he trudged onward, a bitter smile gracing the corner of his mouth.
The injuries on his body were severe and couldn't be healed without potent spiritual medicine.
If Jiang Chen truly caught up to him, death would be certain.
Pondering this, Lin Feng's heart felt heavy with despair.
Just at that moment.
Buzz hum!
Suddenly, fluctuations arose beside him, sending shivers down his spine!
Immediately afterward,
A black lightning-like rift emerged.
A thin red line shot out of the rift, crashing straight into Lin Feng's body!
Bang!!!
It was as if Lin Feng's body had sustained a violent impact, and he was instantly propelled upward.
He traced a long arc like a cannonball, sweeping over a mountain before finally landing with a crash in the middle of a mountain river!
'What the...!!'
Submerged in the water, Lin Feng's eyes widened in shock, his first thought being that Jiang Chen had indeed come after him.
But he quickly realized something was amiss.
If Jiang Chen had struck him, he would undoubtedly have been pulverized, reduced to a pile of mangled flesh!
How could he have been hurled such a distance and still be alive?
Suddenly,
A warmth emanated from his lower abdomen, rapidly spreading to all his limbs.
The icy chill of the river water vanished in an instant.
Incredibly, wherever the warmth traveled, Lin Feng's injuries began to heal.
Even his previously shattered dantian appeared to mend itself!
A trace of Yuan Power emerged from his dantian, and a long-lost strength gradually filled Lin Feng's body.
"This is!?"
"I've been healed! My dantian has been restored!"
Lin Feng's heart swelled with boundless elation as he felt the staggering changes within his body.
He looked inside himself and discovered a withered red lotus floating within his restored dantian.
The healing power emanated from this withered red lotus flower.
What was miraculous,
This red lotus seemed to possess a spiritual nature.
As soon as Lin Feng's thoughts connected with the withered lotus, he received enlightening information.
This lotus was the Burning World Red Lotus, a rare heavenly treasure in the world.
Even in its withered state, the Burning World Red Lotus had reached the Inquiring Journey Realm, surpassing the Heavenly Origin!
At this moment, the Burning World Red Lotus had completely fused with him, sharing both triumphs and tribulations.
Although the current power of the Burning World Red Lotus had been exhausted to the last drop,
As long as he consumed any elixir, he would be able to infuse it with power and gradually restore its vitality.
The rejuvenated Burning World Red Lotus would then regain a myriad of extraordinary abilities.
