Heavenly Venerable Sovereign

  Ye Zi thrust out with his sword, but it was a empty strike, and he couldn't help but be taken aback!

  In front of her was empty and desolate, where was even half a figure?

  "What's going on? Where did that little thief go?"

  "Not good!" Recalling her parents' warnings before she went out for training, Ye Zixiao's face also changed slightly!

  "Go!"

  He didn't dare hesitate at all, Ye Zi's body flashed and left with an even faster speed!

  ……

  Dim stone walls, mottled with moss, this is obviously a cave.

  "Where is this place? Where's that venomous woman?" Lin Feng muttered to himself, relieved to have survived.

  "Don't worry, this place is tens of miles away from that girl, she won't be able to find it." An old voice sounded in Lin Feng's ear, and a figure appeared in front of him.

  The old man's figure was somewhat illusory, with a high crown and strange clothes, looking extremely arrogant, but on his face there was a hint of an evil smile, staring at Lin Feng.

  "Who are you? Are you the one who saved me?" Lin Feng said in a low voice.

  His ambition far surpasses that of his peers, and he is not intimidated by the mysterious old man. All this is the accumulation of having seen through the coldness and warmth of human nature.

  "Heh heh! Little doll, if I hadn't saved you, who would have? The old man smacked his lips and said, "You little scamp are indeed lucky, that girl's figure earlier was actually not bad at all, tsk tsk!"

  Looking at Lin Feng's speechless face, the old man chuckled and said: "It seems that you young man haven't figured it out yet, haha! Wait until you've lived a few more years, then you'll know the benefits of that girl!"

  "Why did you save me?" Lin Feng interrupted the old man's words and asked.

  "I won't be able to save you!" The old man shook his head and sighed, "I've finally found a suitable place to live, but if this jade pendant is taken back by that Ye girl from the Luoyun Sect, they'll discover my existence and I'll be in trouble!"

  "Jade pendant?" Lin Feng was stunned, looking at the jade pendant wrapped around his wrist.

  "Have you been living here all along?"

  "Of course not. Actually, I originally lived on your body, but living on your body can barely maintain itself without dissipating!" The old man laughed and said, "This jade pendant is the most suitable place for me to live!"

  "Did you originally live on me? Could it be...?" Lin Feng's body suddenly shook violently!

  "Heh heh! You little scamp, you guessed right!" The old man chuckled, "If it weren't for you practicing your fist every day and absorbing the heaven and earth's primal energy to nourish me, I would have dissipated into nothingness long ago! Now that you've obtained this jade pendant, I can also consider it a new home, and I won't need to constantly expend energy to maintain my existence. So from now on, when you absorb the heaven and earth's primal energy, I can also consider not plundering it all, and leave some for you!"

  "So you're saying that you've absorbed my three years of heaven and earth's primal energy?" Lin Feng's small face turned red, his fists clenched tightly, his breathing also becoming increasingly heavy, like a fierce beast ready to pounce on its prey.

  Three years ago, overnight, he lost all his powers and turned from a genius to a waste! In the past three years, he didn't know how many cold eyes he had suffered, how much humiliation he had endured! And everything was thanks to this old man!

  "You little scoundrel! I just saved your life and you're looking at me like that? What does it mean?" the old man said discontentedly.

  "Damn you!" Lin Feng shouted in anger, throwing a punch at the old man. "Do you know how I've spent the last three years?"

  A punch landed on the old man's body, but it was as if he had hit the air, light and effortless. The old man smiled indifferently and said: "I've been following you for three years, how could I not know? But if it weren't for me, you would still be that arrogant little brat from three years ago, how could you have this kind of determination now?"

  Lin Feng's face still had a lingering anger as he withdrew his fist.

  He knew that the old man was telling the truth. The three years of experience had made him see through the warmth and coldness of human relationships, which was a great exercise for him.

  But he was after all just a young boy of less than fourteen years old, how could the melancholy in his heart possibly dissipate so easily?

  However, he knew he couldn't attack the old man after missing with one punch, so he stopped and just coldly stared at him.

  "Little one, our meeting is also a kind of fate." The old man smiled slightly and asked, "Do you want to become strong?"

  Lin Feng hummed and said, "If you don't continue to plunder the heavenly energy I absorb, I can naturally become a strong practitioner. Although there's only half a year left, I'm confident enough to pass the Lu Yun Sect's test and join the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry. In the future, accumulating military merit to become a hundred-man commander is also no problem."

  "Xuan Jia heavy cavalry... Hundred Men's Long?" The old man seemed to have heard something funny, and burst out laughing, "Youngster, is this the strong person you were talking about? Do you know that this world is not just limited to the Lu Yun Sect! For a true strong person, the existence of the Lu Yun Sect can be annihilated with just a wave of their hand!"

  Can a wave of the hand destroy the Luoyun Sect? Lin Feng's heart suddenly shook violently!

  He naturally knew that this world was not a Luoyun Sect, otherwise the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry would not exist at all. Due to his father's relationship, he still had some understanding of the distribution of forces around the Luoyun Sect.

  But Luoyun Sect was a behemoth in his heart, what kind of strong person could wipe out Luoyun Sect with just a wave of their hand? Did such a strong person really exist?

  "Are you such a strong person?" Lin Feng's eyes flashed as he looked at the old man.

  "I'm just a soul body now, I don't have that kind of power. If it were me back then, how could I put a small Luoyun Sect in my eyes?" The old man snorted, "Your qualifications are still somewhat satisfactory, as long as you listen to me obediently, I might also cultivate you wholeheartedly, and you can become such a strong person!"

  "There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Nothing comes without a price. What do I need to pay for it?" Lin Feng said.

  "Haha!" Looking at Lin Feng's immature face with a maturity that didn't match his age, the old man also smiled. "Of course, there is a price to pay. From now on, eight-tenths of the heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi you absorb will be borrowed by me to restore my own strength."

  "No way!" Lin Feng flatly refused.

  Just kidding, I've absorbed 80%, now it's up to me whether I want to cultivate or not!

  The old man chuckled and said, "It's just a temporary loan, the little heavenly energy you absorbed is nothing to me. Compared to what you will achieve in the future, this price is negligible."

  "Five percent! I'll only let you borrow five percent!" Lin Feng said slowly after a moment of thought.

  "Old man, take a step back and lend me 70%!" The old man shook his head and said, "You little brat, being able to receive my guidance is a great blessing! You actually dare to haggle with me!"

  "Five percent, no more!" Lin Feng said firmly.

  "Hey! You little stinker, don't be too excessive! The old man was also annoyed, glaring and saying, "Although I have received your three years of heavenly energy offerings, but just now in order to save you, the heavenly energy consumed is absolutely much more than what you offered! I've even lost my principal!"

  Lin Feng shook his head and said, "I've calculated it before. If you borrow half of my heavenly earth yuan energy, I can still recover to the fourth level of Tiger Form Fist in half a year with some effort, which would give me the qualification to participate in the Luoyun Sect's test."

  "Are you still thinking of joining the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry?" The old man chuckled and shook his head, "Alright, I'll take a step back. I'll just borrow 60% of your Heavenly Earth Yuan Qi. Your calculations are off, according to my calculations, with 40% of the Heavenly Earth Yuan Qi, half a year's time is enough for you to recover to the Fourth Heavy Fist of the Tiger Shape!"

  "Five percent! That's already my bottom line!" Lin Feng insisted.

  "No way! Six tenths!" The old man retracted his smile and said angrily.

  Lin Feng coldly snorted and removed the small jade pendant from his wrist, about to throw it out.

  "Slow! Fifty percent is fifty percent!" The old man's face changed and he hastily said in a loud voice.

  Lin Feng's small face showed a hint of a smile as he carefully wrapped the jade pendant around his wrist again.

  This jade pendant is now the old man's dwelling place, and it must be extremely important to him. With this gesture, it indeed has an effect.

  As for the old man laying hands on him? If he could lay hands on him, he would have done so long ago, why waste time talking nonsense with him!

  This is also Lin Feng nowadays, if it weren't for the various changes over the past three years, he wouldn't have had such wisdom.

  "It's really a dragon playing in shallow waters, being teased by shrimp, and a tiger falling into the flat sun, being cheated by dogs!" The old man shook his head and sighed, "I didn't expect that I, an old man, would have a day when I was teased by a little guy like you, ah!"

  "Hehe. Now you can tell me, who are you, how do you plan to cultivate me, and what's the origin of this jade pendant?" Lin Feng said with a hint of happiness on his face, speaking softly.
