"Father, this is the ancestor of the Luo family in Luo Yun City... the ancestor from seven hundred years ago, Ancestor Luo Tong! He was a Saint Realm expert, extremely powerful!" Luo Xiaotong said, pointing at Ye Feng.

Luo Xiaotong's gesture of pointing at Ye Feng was very impolite, and could even be described as disrespectful.

But the night wind didn't care at all.

"So you are such a powerful senior. It's a pity that I am too weak to stand up and bow. I hope you will understand," the old man said hurriedly.

"It's alright," Ye Feng said, waving his hand.

Luo Xiaotong then pointed at Zijing and said, "Her name is Zijing, and she is... a thief. She broke into the Luo family to steal things but was caught red-handed by the patriarch!"

Zijing glared at him and said, "Hey, you heartless bastard! I protected you before, and you've forgotten all about it?"

Luo Xiaotong retorted confidently, "Am I not telling the truth?"

"Of course it's not the truth! I'll say it again, I'm not a tomb raider! I really only went into the Luo family's mausoleum to hide from those Crimson-tailed Beasts!" Zijing said indignantly.

"Shut up."

Night Wind slapped Zijing on the head, and Zijing immediately shut her mouth.

Ye Feng looked at the old man curiously and asked, "Xiao Tong, is he your father?"

“Yes, he is my father,” Luo Xiaotong nodded.

Night Wind gave the old man a meaningful look and opened his All-Seeing Golden Eyes.

Under the watchful gaze of the Golden Eyes of All Laws, nothing could escape the night wind's notice!

However, Ye Feng couldn't see any signs that Luo Xiaotong had been bewitched by the old man's illusion, which puzzled him.

Luo Xiaotong was not affected by the illusion, nor did she show any signs of tampering with her body. So why would she recognize a stranger as her father?

"Xiaotong, it's time to prepare lunch. We have guests today, so you'll have to work a little harder and make a few extra portions," the old man said with a smile.

“No problem.” Luo Xiaotong agreed without hesitation.

Then Luo Xiaotong ran into the kitchen to start preparing lunch.

Zijing whispered, "What kind of lunch are you preparing in the middle of the night?"

"Can't you just shut up?" Ye Feng said irritably.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Who told me I can't beat you?" Zijing muttered.

Ye Feng looked at the old man and said, "I have something I need to talk to Xiao Tong about alone, is that alright?"

"It's lightweight," the old man said cheerfully.

Night Breeze then led Zijing into the kitchen and set up a barrier to separate the inside from the outside.

"Xiaotong, can you tell me now? What exactly happened?" Yefeng asked.

Luo Xiaotong did not answer immediately. Instead, she wiped her hands on her clothes and then took out a thick booklet from her pocket and handed it to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was puzzled, but he still took the booklet from Luo Xiaotong and started flipping through it.

The booklet was a diary—or rather, not entirely a diary, but containing many notes, specifically research notes on formations.

"I'm finally a member of the Qi Cultivation Association of the Hongtian Empire, and the association asked me to go to the capital. I heard that the environment in the capital is better than other places, and I hope that the environment there will help Xiaotong's body."

"The Qi Cultivation Association isn't as wonderful as I imagined. It's also full of infighting. The Qi Cultivation Association is now divided into two major factions, and I have to choose a faction to stand with as soon as I join... Whatever the Qi Cultivation Association is like, I need to find a way to treat Xiaotong first..."

"I've discovered that the spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array can temporarily suppress Xiaotong's illness, which is a great thing!"

"The spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array is not pure enough; this problem must be solved..."

"The efficiency of the Spirit Gathering Array in gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is limited, and it is also constrained by the materials. Furthermore, the scale of the Spirit Gathering Array cannot be expanded indefinitely, and I have no right to use the spiritual veins of the Qi Cultivation Association..."

"No, we have to think of another way..."

What would happen if I connected several spirit-gathering arrays together?

"My attempt failed. The spirit-gathering array wasn't working well, and it even caused conflicts..."

"Xiaotong's condition is getting worse again. Damn it, why does dissociative disorder even exist in this world!"

"A big shot from the Qi Cultivation Association died today. He was found dead in his secret chamber, but I know the truth is definitely not like that. That big shot was a Qi Cultivator at the Divine Travel Realm, how could he die so inexplicably? He must have been killed by someone. I am completely disappointed in the Qi Cultivation Association..."

“I chose to leave. The members of the Qi Cultivation Association didn’t understand me, but that’s okay. I never considered them my friends. We didn’t even have anything in common. My only goal was to cure Xiaotong’s illness.”

"I have come to Luo Yun City. It meets my requirements. Although I have not found any spiritual veins here, at least the air is fresh, which may help Xiao Tong's illness."

"I succeeded! Connecting to the Spirit Gathering Array is so simple! All it takes is a little knock and a few tweaks!"

"I should give this composite array formed by connecting several spirit-gathering arrays a name. What should I call it... Multiple spirit-gathering array? No, no, no, that's too common."

"A net-like spirit-gathering array... or spirit net for short! Actually, this wasn't my idea, but Xiaotong's, but I think it's great! If it's Xiaotong's idea, then it must be the best!"

"The effect of the Spirit Network is unexpectedly good. Although Xiaotong's dissociative disorder has not improved, it has stopped worsening!"

"Wait, what happened? Why did the fluctuations in the spirit network suddenly become so violent! Damn it, a demonic beast has broken in! The demonic beast is destroying my spirit network!"

"Red-tailed Beast! Oh my god, why would such a monster appear here! No, I have to go check on Xiaotong, you have to wait for me!"

Ye Feng closed the booklet, which was a mix of diaries and notes, and took a deep breath.

This booklet mentions many things and contains a lot of information.

The first step is Qi cultivation.

Ye Feng had obtained Luo Tong's memories, so he was no stranger to Qi cultivation.

In the Lingluo Great World, cultivators are divided into two types: Qi cultivators and martial cultivators.

Martial arts practitioners are just martial artists, which is no different from other worlds, but qi practitioners are different.

Qi cultivation, to put it simply, is a branch or variant of martial arts. Qi cultivators do not strengthen their physical body and temper their physique through true qi, but instead focus on improving their true qi.

Because they lack the process of tempering their bodies with true qi, qi cultivators are physically weak and their combat power is a level below that of martial artists.

At the same level, a martial artist can fight against five or even more Qi cultivators at the same time without being defeated!

However, while Qi cultivators may not be as powerful as martial artists, they have other advantages.
