Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?

Master Qiu was still somewhat unwilling to give up, believing that Qin Feng had exceptional talent and was very suitable for cultivating the Dao.

His earlier estimate that Qin Feng would be able to take over his position in less than ten years was a conservative estimate. If Qin Feng were wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, it was possible that he could take over his position in three to five years.

Qin Feng smiled slightly. "I'm really sorry, but I have absolutely no interest in cultivation."

Master Qiu was somewhat disappointed. He couldn't understand why Qin Feng would refuse.

Becoming his disciple means you can become the national advisor, the leader of the Zhengyi sect, and wield immense power.

Qin Feng remained unmoved by fame and fortune, which only strengthened his belief that Qin Feng was perfectly suited for cultivation.

He didn't want to give up easily, but he didn't have a good way to persuade Qin Feng to become his disciple.

After much hesitation, he finally gave up the idea of ​​taking Qin Feng as his disciple.

"Young man, you can contact me anytime if you change your mind later."

"Here's my business card, keep it safe!"

After saying that, Master Qiu took out a black business card and handed it over.

Without hesitation, Qin Feng accepted the business card with both hands, behaving like a junior.

Although he didn't know why Master Qiu wanted to use Eileen, so far, Master Qiu had left a fairly good impression on him.

Master Qiu is a national teacher and also the leader of the Zhengyi Sect. Perhaps we will need his help in the future.

Since he was interested in making friends with them, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Otherwise, he'll end up like Hins Cheung, ignoring people and then feeling awkward when he needs their help.

Although he doesn't need a powerful backer, it's still necessary for him to have some connections, as they will come in handy someday.

Seeing that Qin Feng had accepted the business card, Master Qiu said nothing more and turned to leave.

After watching Master Qiu walk away, Qin Feng sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest.

......

The next morning.

Lin Zhiqiang and Eileen were both jolted awake from their nightmares, which startled Qin Feng awake.

Although the two were knocked unconscious by Qin Feng last night, their memories of those ghosts were still very vivid.

They only calmed down when they saw the clear blue sky and Qin Feng standing there speechless.

"Were those ghosts real last night...?"

"Then...what about those ghosts? What did you do with them?"

Lin Zhiqiang and Eileen both looked at Qin Feng with curiosity and asked questions one after another.

Qin Feng did not answer Lin Zhiqiang and Eileen's questions, and turned to leave.

Lin Zhiqiang and Eileen exchanged a glance, then immediately scurried after them.

Although it was daytime, they only felt safe when they were with Qin Feng.

As they ventured deeper into the ghostly forest, Qin Feng and his companions encountered an increasing number of ferocious beasts.

However, most of the ferocious beasts did not attack Qin Feng and his companions, choosing to ignore them and stay far away.

Some ignorant beasts attacked Qin Feng and his companions, but were killed by Qin Feng.

Lin Zhiqiang and Eileen were initially shocked to see Qin Feng easily kill the ferocious beast, but they gradually became numb to it.

In their eyes, even the fiercest beasts were no more than ants in front of Qin Feng, and could be killed with ease.

They even became somewhat arrogant, believing that with Qin Feng on their side, they could roam freely in the Ghost Forest without restraint.

I feel incredibly safe!

Unbeknownst to them, Qin Feng and his companions had arrived at the central area of ​​the Ghostly Forest.

Here, they saw many species that they had never seen or heard of before.

A colorful, palm-sized butterfly with three tails, resembling a small cat.

A monster with a bull's head and a snake's body, and eight legs, relying on two pairs of horns on its waist.

All sorts of unheard-of and unseen animals, strangely shaped, made it feel like entering a monster world.

However, none of the animals they encountered so far were aggressive; they all fled far away after seeing Qin Feng and his companions.

In addition, the spiritual energy here is extremely pure, at least a hundred times that of the outside world.

An excellent place for cultivation.

Qin Feng had no intention of stopping to cultivate, because without Foundation Establishment Pills, even if the spiritual energy here was pure and abundant, the chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm were extremely slim.

If he ultimately cannot find the fragranceless fruit, it will not be too late for him to try again.

The spiritual energy here is so abundant that it has nurtured many precious medicinal herbs, with herbs over 500 years old appearing everywhere.

Qin Feng was very frustrated because without a storage ring, he couldn't take all of these spiritual herbs with him.

He simply ignored it and planned to come back to pick them later.

Anyway, he doesn't need these elixirs right now, and this place is in the central area of ​​the Ghost Forest, where very few people can reach.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about it being taken away by someone else.

Lin Zhiqiang and Eileen were both very uneasy, seemingly wanting to stick to Qin Feng and follow him closely without leaving his side.

Although the strange-looking animals did not attack them, they were still very afraid.

I am very worried that a terrifying species like a water dragon might suddenly emerge from somewhere.

Ten minutes later.

A huge lake came into view of Qin Feng and his companions.

In the middle of the lake is a small island, and on the island stands a blue Taoist temple built with green bricks and tiles.

Upon seeing the blue Taoist temple, Qin Feng and the other two were all taken aback.

Eileen's eyes flickered as she guessed, "Could it be the residence of Daoist Qingyun?"

Qin Feng nodded. "It should be!"

Qin Feng was a little puzzled. If Daoist Qingyun really lived here, then he would be too easy to find.

Why couldn't Master Qiu be found?

Is there something strange about this?

With this in mind, he closed his eyes and recalled the places he had passed through, wondering if there were any suspicious places.

After a while, Qin Feng opened his eyes with a strange expression.

As they entered the central area, he felt a sudden dizziness.

However, the time was too short, and he was attracted by the strange-looking animals, so he didn't pay attention.

Looking back now, it's highly likely that we entered a barrier at that time, perhaps due to a short-distance teleportation.

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Feng looked up at the sky and indeed found a faint barrier force covering an area of ​​ten kilometers.

Unless one deliberately investigates, it is difficult to detect the power of this barrier.

There are also some very special barriers that can only be entered through one entrance.

If you enter from another location, you will be directly teleported to another area without being detected.

No wonder Master Qiu couldn't find Daoist Qingyun; it must be because of this barrier.

Lin Zhiqiang and Eileen became somewhat uneasy when they noticed that Qin Feng was behaving strangely.

Lin Zhiqiang asked timidly, "Brother, did you...did you notice something unusual?"

Qin Feng shook his head upon hearing this. "No, I just feel the air here is very fresh; taking a breath makes me feel invigorated!"

Lin Zhiqiang and Eileen both breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.

Lin Zhiqiang then nodded in agreement. "Yes! This place is simply a paradise on earth, a secluded haven!"

“If it weren’t for the fact that it’s in a ghostly forest, I would want to stay here for a while.”
