Yunkelou is the best inn in Yin'an City.
Qin Feng led them to their accommodation. He was not short of money now. His previous gains from the Wang family and the strong support from Lu Sha Mao of the Lu family had made him extremely wealthy.
He would naturally not be stingy if it meant his family could live more comfortably.
But his mother and mother-in-law were used to hardship and couldn't stand such waste. It took Qin Feng a lot of persuasion before they reluctantly agreed.
In Qin Feng's bedroom, Qin Yi was shirtless.
This was Qin Feng's plan to help him restore his cultivation level in order to rebuild his dantian and qi sea.
This time was also lucky; Lu Shamao had a Xuanming Flower in his storage bag.
It is generally born in places of slaughter, nurtured by blood essence, killing intent, and death energy, and baptized by the scorching sun. It is a mixture of good and evil, and has rare effects. Qin Feng happened to have seen it in the herbal classics of the Central Sect, and he knew how to use it.
Qin Feng plucked the petals of the Xuanming Flower, refined them into liquid, and gave it to Qin Yi to drink.
The branches and leaves turned into medicinal mud, which was applied to his dantian (lower abdomen).
Qin Feng channeled his spiritual energy to help him digest and absorb the nutrients.
Qin Yi felt warm all over his body, especially in his lower abdomen, where he felt a bit hot.
The pain gradually intensified, becoming almost unbearable, and he started sweating.
Large beads of sweat kept falling.
Immediately afterwards, he felt an unbearable itch in his abdomen, which made him frown. This was much more uncomfortable than heat or pain.
"Bear with it. This is how your physical functions and cultivation will be. Not only was your cultivation destroyed before, but you also suffered injuries to your abdomen. I'll help you resolve that this time."
After a while, Qin Yi felt that he had returned to normal and no longer felt anything unusual.
Most importantly, he felt full of power. He had never felt so good before, not even when his cultivation level was still high.
Qin Yi was also surprised to find that his body was expelling dirty waste mixed with an unpleasant smell. Instead of being surprised, he was delighted, as this was a sign of cleansing the marrow and expelling impurities from the body.
He discovered that his cultivation had returned, although it was not fully recovered yet, he could already circulate his qi and breathe.
"Hahaha, my cultivation has returned."
He was about to pat Qin Feng when he saw Qin Feng collapse from exhaustion.
Qin Feng looked at his father with a smile. Seeing his father's happy and cheerful smile, he felt very satisfied and that it was all worthwhile.
Qin Yi gently patted Qin Feng's shoulder.
"Xiao Feng, you've really worked hard."
"It's not hard work, because you're my father."
"Haha, you little rascal, you really deserve a beating. I'm going back to take a shower, you get some rest first."
After saying that, Qin Yi went back to his room.
After seeing his father leave, Qin Feng took out spirit stones and began to meditate to recover.
He's been through a lot lately and hasn't had a chance to properly organize and summarize what he's learned.
He needs to calm down and consolidate his position, and also seize the time to improve. What if the Lu family has some powerful backer? He doesn't dare to gamble, and he doesn't want to use his trump cards unless absolutely necessary. He wants to rely on himself to cope.
First, he checked his cultivation level and found no signs of instability.
At the same time, he discovered that there seemed to be no bottleneck in his cultivation. His body was like a big bucket, and he could just fill it with spiritual energy, at least for now.
Qin Feng set aside some spirit stones for later use, and planned to refine the rest to see how far he could go.
An hour later, he discovered that his cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Another hour later, he reached the peak of Foundation Establishment.
He was overjoyed. Could it be that there really was no bottleneck? That would be so awesome!
However, reality slapped him in the face.
After he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, no matter how much spiritual energy he absorbs, he will never reach the Golden Core stage.
He murmured, "As expected, there are still limitations, otherwise it would be too heaven-defying. However, I guess these limitations only apply when breaking through to a higher realm."
For example, if he is now at the Golden Core stage, he will not encounter any bottlenecks until he reaches the peak of the Golden Core stage, which is actually quite extraordinary.
Others might spend years, decades, or even make no progress at all when advancing to a higher level.
He recalled the sword strike he had delivered during his previous battle with Lu Shamao.
To be honest, he himself didn't know what was going on. When he heard the other party say it was sword intent, he didn't quite understand it, and he had no obligation to answer an enemy.
He had read about it in books and had also heard his master, Yin Mingshan, mention it briefly.
Yin Mingshan himself did not comprehend the sword intent.
It is said that sword intent is something mysterious and profound, something that sword users strive for throughout their lives. He was somewhat unsure whether any of his sword strikes contained sword intent.
The room had a training ground, and he drew his sword and thrust it out, wanting to reenact the sword strike he had used against Lu Shamao.
Unfortunately, it was just an ordinary sword strike, completely different from the state it was in back then.
He frowned slightly, wondering why it was working sometimes and not at all; this was not good news.
Qin Feng kept recalling and rehearsing.
After a long time, things finally started to look up.
He saw that Lu Shamao was showing signs of backing down and didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he went all out and was completely focused.
All his attention was focused on assassinating Lu Shamao, and he temporarily forgot about everything around him.
Body and sword become one, sword and spirit become one, sword heart is clear, long sword sings softly.
This focus unconsciously generated a sword intent within him, resonating with the longsword in his hand and granting it the ability to fight beyond its level.
He remembered that this feeling didn't just appear when he fought Lu Sha Mao; it had already appeared when he fought the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from the Lu family.
It turns out that the sword intent had already been generated back then.
Sword intent, simply put, is the sword in one's hand imbued with one's own intent, enabling it to resonate with one's mind and spirit.
