"Senior Divine Herb, you are truly a hidden master!"

"If it weren't for your intervention and killing Jin Shuiwu, I would be dead. In short, thank you so much for saving my life, senior."

Chen Shanren realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward, speaking earnestly.

You're too kind!

Lin Xiaofei waved his hand and said,

"If it weren't for my bidding on the third-grade Golden Core immortal technique, which attracted the other party's attention, you, Patriarch Chen, wouldn't have been dragged into this, causing you all this worry."

Chen Shanren nodded, glanced at Lin Xiaofei cautiously, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

Senior Divine Herb, as far as I know, you are a spiritual plant master at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Logically speaking, your combat power should not be a match for that Jin Shuiwu.

This makes me a little curious?

With your level of skill, how did you manage to kill him? That's unbelievable.

So, if I may be so bold as to ask...

He looked Lin Xiaofei up and down and found that the aura emanating from the other party indicated that he was indeed a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage. However, Lin Xiaofei's actions just now shocked him and made him very curious.

"It's nothing. Although I am a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, my skills are not inferior."

Lin Xiaofei pondered for a moment, his eyes darting around, and then he said:

Patriarch Chen, you just witnessed my entire spellcasting process, and you must have sensed the immense power of my spell. In fact, I have cultivated my magic to the point of perfection.

Therefore, although my cultivation level is somewhat lower, the power of my spells is comparable to that of a peak Golden Core cultivator.

"I see."

Chen Shanren nodded.

He had learned that, it was said, a Golden Core cultivator who could cultivate any Golden Core technique to perfection could then fight across realms.

This time, he finally understood why Lin Xiaofei was able to kill Jin Shuiwu.

In fact, Lin Xiaofei's strength was so great not only because he had cultivated the Mountain-Turning Demon Palm to perfection, but also because he broke through with the maximum number of small dantian. When he reached the early stage of Golden Core, his strength was two or three times stronger than that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

"Alright, the people who were following us are now dead."

"We should return to the city now. Next, I need to prepare to cultivate the third-grade Golden Core Immortal Technique."

Lin Xiaofei smiled and said.

"So soon you're going to cultivate a third-grade Golden Core Immortal Technique?"

Chen Shanren was puzzled, but a glint of shrewdness quickly flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile:

Senior, your strength is already so great. If you successfully cultivate that Grade Three Profound Wood Technique, your strength will surely be further enhanced.

Right, I understand now why Jin Shui Ren and Jin Shui Wu also wanted to bid for the Grade Three Mysterious Wood Technique.

They are already late-stage Golden Core cultivators. If they were to cultivate a third-grade Golden Core immortal technique, their strength would be further enhanced.

The fact that our senior bought the Xuanmu Wonderful Method at auction is what led them to want to kill us.

Although Jin Shuiwu was killed by his predecessor, Jin Shuiren is still alive, and it is unknown why he has not appeared here.

This, however, makes me a little worried.

"Patriarch Chen, there's nothing to worry about."

"As long as Jin Shuiren dares to come, I can kill him. Besides, once we return to the city, Jin Shuiren won't dare to make a move there easily."

Lin Xiaofei said directly.

He already possessed the strength of a typical peak Golden Core cultivator, so naturally he wasn't afraid of Jin Shuiren, who was only at the late Golden Core stage.

Moreover, once he returns to the city and successfully cultivates the Mysterious Wood Technique, his strength will increase again, so he won't have to worry about Jin Shuiren coming after him.

“What you say is true, senior. With you staying in my residence, there is naturally no need to fear Jin Shuiren.”

Chen Shanren felt a little relieved and said.

Soon, the two returned to their residence. After entering his room, Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his lips, and he stepped into the spatial bead.

After sitting cross-legged, he took out a storage bag, which was none other than the Golden Water Martial Virtue.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei released his divine sense, intruding into the storage bag and taking inventory, saying:

One mid-grade magic weapon, ten million low-grade spirit stones, the corpses of three mid-stage second-tier wind wolf kings, and three or four second-grade spirit herbs. How come this guy is so poor? He only has these few treasures?

Moreover, he didn't possess any Golden Core cultivation techniques.

He glanced at the treasures briefly, and only a few second-grade spiritual herbs piqued his interest, which he planted in his spatial bead.

The remaining treasures, though not bad, weren't very useful, so he didn't continue counting them and simply put them all away.

Jin Shuiwu was just a rogue cultivator who made a living by hunting demonic beasts, so he didn't have many treasures on him. Moreover, when he entered the auction house, in order to bid for the Grade 3 Xuanmu Wonderful Method, he handed over most of his treasures to Jin Shuiren.

Then, Lin Xiaofei took out a jade slip containing the third-grade Xuanmu Wonderful Method and began to browse it.

"The Mysterious Wood Technique is a Golden Core Immortal Technique developed by a Golden Core genius cultivator with a wood spirit root. He observed a large number of second-grade spiritual plants absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, mastered some of the breathing methods of spiritual plants, and thus comprehended it."

This profound wood cultivation method is suitable for many cultivators, especially those with wood spiritual roots. Once they begin cultivating it, it will be three times faster than other Golden Core cultivation methods.

Moreover, once this immortal technique is successfully cultivated, the physical body will possess a certain degree of repair ability.

If injured, a life-giving force will be generated within the body, making the healed body even stronger.

Lin Xiaofei read the introduction to this immortal technique and gained some understanding of it.

After browsing through the Mysterious Wood Techniques, he gained some knowledge and encountered a celestial technique that could heal his own wounds for the first time.

Lin Xiaofei's eyes lit up. He knew that his physical defense was comparable to that of a top-grade spiritual weapon, but he had no healing power.

Then, he carefully reviewed and pondered the cultivation methods within.

Half an hour later, Lin Xiaofei smiled slightly and muttered softly:

"I've finally figured out the cultivation method of the Mysterious Wood Technique. Now, I can begin cultivating."

Without much thought, he exhaled deeply, and with a thought, the cultivation movements of the Mysterious Wood Technique appeared in his mind.

At this moment, the spiritual energy within his body surged, and he slowly raised his hands, placing them on his dantian.

In an instant, a wisp of azure energy, like a wisp of smoke, emerged from his hand, then slowly floated up and headed toward his nostrils.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiaofei's mind began to perceive the Mysterious Wood Technique and comprehend this immortal technique. The spiritual energy in his dantian gradually began to change.

This time, as he cultivated this profound wood technique, he felt inspiration constantly flowing into his mind, as if he were very suitable for cultivating this immortal technique. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth also gradually entered his body.
