Ancient Domain's Great Marsh (First Explosion of Four Watches!)

  The ancient domain of the great swamp is located in the southeast of the mainland, and it was originally an undeveloped and desolate land. The area of ten thousand miles around is all swampland, with various magical creatures and poisonous plants growing everywhere. The sky above the swamp is always shrouded in a thick fog, and there isn't a single ray of sunshine throughout the year. Despite this, many cultivators often appear here, either to collect herbs for alchemy or to capture magical creatures to refine and control. For cultivators, the ancient domain of the great swamp is undoubtedly a natural treasure trove bestowed by heaven, with an endless supply that will never run out. Even those who are lucky may stumble upon unexpected surprises.

  However, the ancient domain is too vast, and there are so many people that it's like a grain of sand in the ocean, making it hard to meet face-to-face, but when they do, they can usually coexist peacefully.

  The vast swamp has been shrouded in a haze of miasma for thousands of years, severely disrupting the flow of spiritual energy here. Compared to the Black Cloud Temple that suppressed the Nether River underground, it is a hundred times more complex.

  Not to mention the foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators, even if a Yuanying stage old monster came in, it would be very difficult for him to discover anyone's tracks.

  It was precisely because of this that Lin Feng dared to swagger into the Great Swamp.

  After all, in a strict sense, the ancient domain of Daze belongs to the territory of the Great Zhou Empire. Xuanji Hou is almost like half a family in the Great Zhou Empire.

  Lin Feng had just taken down the second-in-command of the Xuanji Hou's household, and then he charged into their backyard. If it weren't for the unique terrain of the ancient domain, he would be waiting to be hunted down.

  But such a complex terrain undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of Lin Feng's search for Xinghe Sand, and blindly searching was no different from finding a needle in the ocean.

  "The system only mentions that the ancient domain's Great Marsh produces Star River Sand, but doesn't give a specific location. How are we supposed to find it?" Lin Feng manipulated the Black Cloud Flag as he descended from the sky.

  Before one's eyes are all marshes and mud pits, some of which are bubbling with air bubbles, while others seem ordinary but are actually more dangerous. An unsuspecting person who steps on them will not need to think about coming up again.

  Lin Feng carefully distinguished himself and fell onto a piece of relatively dry land, looking at the boundless Zhe country in front of him, and couldn't help but feel some worry.

  Wang Lin's face turned bitter, and he asked, "Master, how are we going to find the Star River Sand?"

  "I also want to know." Lin Feng smiled bitterly in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't reveal a hint of it and said calmly: "Finding Xinghe Sha is just a small matter, what's more important on this trip is to temper you well."

  Lin Feng turned his head and looked at Wang Lin, saying slowly: "You should also know that your own innate talent is not outstanding."

  Wang Lin lowered his head, and Master's words were already showing consideration for his self-esteem. He himself also knew that his innate talent was not only unremarkable but downright terrible, even worse than ordinary people.

  So since entering the sect, Wang Lin has been working hard to cultivate himself. With Huang Quan's help, he has made some progress, but compared to Xiao Yan and the others' almost daily breakthroughs, his own progress is so small it can be ignored.

  With three such geniuses as his fellow disciples, Wang Lin's pressure was even greater than when he was in the Hengyue Sect. Even with his exceptionally firm mind and willpower, his confidence had been severely shaken, and he could only work even harder.

  Lin Feng said: "It is precisely because of this that a master wants you to undergo more tempering and more training."

  "You have great potential, a fine jade, but you need more polishing than others to reveal your dazzling brilliance. Perhaps this polishing will make you feel bitter." Lin Feng said word by word: "Your master believes that you will ultimately succeed."

  Wang Lin's heart warmed up, and he nodded: "Disciple will definitely work hard and won't disappoint Master's expectations."

  Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, pointing to the endless swamp in front of him: "This ancient domain's great marsh is your first trial ground. Finding Star River Sand here will be extremely difficult, but remember, Star River Sand is just a secondary goal. The key is for you to learn from this and gain experience."

  "Your other three fellow apprentices have been in the door for a long time and have the ability to protect themselves, so I let them go out to practice. But your current strength is not enough, so this time I will follow you to protect you." Lin Feng continued: "Training is not sending you to death, if there is really danger, I will naturally take action, but other things, including finding the Star River Sand, you must solve it yourself, only then can it play a training role."

  "Did everyone hear that clearly?"

  "Wang Lin bowed and said: 'Disciple understands, Master can rest assured.'"

  Successfully fooled Wang Lin, Lin Feng's face showed a satisfied smile.

  At present, Wang Lin is still far from being a master, and in this vast country of Ze, finding Xinghe Sha mainly depends on Lin Feng himself. However, if Wang Lin reaches 8th grade of Fortune, it will also be a great help.

  At least I won't return empty-handed, right?

  Moreover, what was said earlier was not in vain. Compared to the other three, Wang Lin is limited by his 5th-grade bone frame, and it will be extremely difficult for him to start practicing. Although he has a strong will of 10, Lin Feng as his master also needs to constantly encourage him.

  This helps deepen the relationship between master and apprentice, while shaping a brilliant image of oneself in the mind of the apprentice.

  So, the mode of searching became Wang Lin carefully taking one step at a time in front, while Lin Feng pretended to be profound and followed behind.

  But Lin Feng didn't completely idle about it, although the spiritual energy in the Great Slaughter Arena was chaotic, within a short distance, he could still barely sense it.

  "Hmm? This surge of magical power... a Foundation Establishment cultivator?" As he walked, Lin Feng suddenly felt a strong surge of magical power nearby.

  After witnessing the Yuan Ying period old monsters and the Jindan period cultivators, the foundation-building period cultivators could no longer attract Lin Feng's attention. Although compared to others, currently only Lin Feng, who had achieved the Great Circle of Cultivation in the Qi Refining stage, still had a huge gap in terms of magical powers, which was like the difference between rivers and oceans.

  But with Lin Feng's current strength, the vast majority of foundation-building cultivators wouldn't take him seriously, unless they also possessed powerful magical tools or trump cards.

  "Besides one Foundation Building cultivator, there were also several Qi Refining cultivators."

  After a moment of quiet perception, Lin Feng had an idea in his mind. He secretly transmitted his voice to Wang Lin: "Little Lin, proceed a few hundred meters forward and you will encounter a Foundation Establishment cultivator and several Qi Refining cultivators. The master won't show up, so handle whatever happens yourself."

  "Interacting with people is also a kind of tempering."

  Wang Lin nodded slightly at his words.

  Lin Feng slowed down, getting farther and farther away from Wang Lin. The dense fog in the swamp severely affected visibility. Lin Feng didn't use his magic power to conceal himself systematically, so at a distance, no one could detect his tracks.

  The two sides had already gotten very close, the thick fog dispersed, revealing four figures.

  The first thing that caught Lin Feng's attention was one of the middle-aged men in a hemp robe, because he was the QiHai stage cultivator that Lin Feng had sensed earlier.

  This person is both thin and tall, just like a bamboo pole holding up his hemp robe.

  In addition, there were two robust young men who were both at the Qi Refining stage. They, along with the middle-aged man in the hemp robe, surrounded a youth dressed in magnificent attire.

  Although the young man in Chinese clothes was only at the Qi Refining stage, he was clearly the leader of the group. Lin Feng could tell from his demeanor that this kid was one of the legendary X second generation, and the middle-aged man in the hemp robe must have been sent by his family to protect him.

  The young man in Chinese clothes had a gloomy expression: "If I had known that this ancient domain was so boring, I wouldn't have come in."

  An attendant behind him smiled and said: "Young master, this time we came in, mainly to earn merits."

  The young man in the Chinese clothes said impatiently, "Does this need to be said? Three thousand elite soldiers are coming to capture the rebels. With so many people sharing the merit, how many rebels can there be? How much credit can I get?"

  "Three thousand divine warriors, capturing the rebels?" Lin Feng, hiding in the distance, heard their conversation and his heart slightly stirred: "It seems that someone has resisted the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after failing to escape into the ancient domain of the swamp, trying to use the heavenly danger of the swamp to evade pursuit."

  A middle-aged man with a thin face in a hemp robe showed a faint smile: "Xue Gongzi, this time there are many people who have come in, but the terrain of Guyuan Daze is limited by its natural conditions, and only a few people can gain something."

  For middle-aged Ma Bao, young Xue Chao still maintained a certain respect, nodding his head: "What Mr. Ma said is not wrong."

  Mr. Ma continued: "Moreover, this time along with those rebels who retreated to the ancient domain of Da Ze, there were also their families. These people were captured very easily, almost a merit that came effortlessly."

  Xue Chao's spirit lifted: "Exactly."

  They had been using their magical powers to communicate with each other, unaware that Lin Feng on the side had heard everything clearly. This was the end of their conversation, and only then did the four of them take an interest in sizing up Wang Lin who had walked up to them.

  "Wang Lin clasped his fists together: 'I am Wang Lin, nice to meet all of you seniors.'"

  "Only at the second level of Qi cultivation?" Xue Chao rolled his eyes and turned his head, not even looking at Wang Lin. The thin bamboo-like Mr. Ma also didn't have any interest in speaking. A robust young man behind Xue Chao smiled and asked: "You dare to enter the ancient domain's Great Marsh with just your second-level Qi cultivation? You're quite bold."

  Wang Lin replied calmly: "I have come here under my master's orders to temper myself and search for something called Star River Sand. I don't know if any of you seniors have heard of it? If you can inform me, I would be eternally grateful."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lin suddenly found that the expressions of the four people opposite him had changed, and their eyes were fixed on him.

  The young man in a suit who had asked questions before asked again: "Are you looking for Xinghe Sha?"

  Linfeng in the dark saw this, slightly frowned, Wang Lin also felt something was wrong, carefully replied: "Not bad."

  Xue Chao, a young man in a Chinese tunic suit, waved his hand upon hearing this.

  "Take him down first!"
