Luo Feng had just sensed a hint of Sword Intent in He Qin's aura.

It seemed she was on the brink of grasping Sword Intent, only a step away.

Despite its formlessness, Luo Feng knew all too well that taking this step was not easy.

If he left He Qin without any help, she could very well miss her chance with Sword Intent completely.

Luo Feng planned to visit He Qin tomorrow night, hoping to assist her in comprehending Sword Intent.

While he had such intentions, others did not share his sentiment.

WHOOSH!

The moment he spoke, many eyes around them immediately turned to Luo Feng.

"Alright."

After a moment's hesitation, He Qin nodded. Her delicate earlobes flushed, as vivid as roses blooming in the snow.

Luo Feng did not realize the ambiguity in his words. Receiving He Qin's response, he turned and strode away.

Many unexpected things had happened during today's cultivation in Snow Valley, and he wanted to go back to see what changes had occurred in his body.

After Luo Feng left, Zhou Zhiyun ordered the academy's vigilance to be increased, and then she too departed.

"Junior Sister He Qin, please wait."

He Qin was just about to return to her cultivation when Qin Huan hurried after her.

He Qin stopped, turned, and looked at Qin Huan. "What is it?"

"Junior Sister He Qin, would you care to come over to my place for a visit? I am practicing our school's Falling Maple Swordsmanship, which has similarities to your Invisible Sword Technique. How about we discuss them together?" Qin Huan extended his invitation warmly, trying to make his smile appear as friendly as possible.

He Qin immediately shook her head. "No need."

After speaking, she turned and left.

"Damn it!"

Once He Qin's figure vanished, the smile on Qin Huan's face disappeared instantly, and his eyes turned exceedingly cold.

"Senior Brother Qin, what's so good about He Qin? There are many female students in our Ivy School more outstanding than her," an Ivy School student said.

WHOOSH!

Qin Huan looked coldly at the person who spoke. "Are you questioning my taste?"

"No! How dare I question Senior Brother's taste!" The student was terrified by Qin Huan's gaze and stumbled back a few steps in horror.

This person knew Qin Huan's methods very well. If he annoyed Qin Huan, even as a fellow disciple, he would not be spared.

Another Ivy School student quickly stepped forward. "Senior Brother Qin, Luo Feng is to blame for all of this! If he hadn't interfered, how could He Qin have refused your invitation!"

"Exactly, exactly! That Luo Feng inviting the Heavenly Fragrant Woman, He Qin, right in front of you, Senior Brother—he clearly did it on purpose!"

"HUMPH! What damn Number One New Talent! He dares to disrespect you, Senior Brother Qin. We must teach him a proper lesson!"

The two Ivy School students knew Qin Huan was interested in He Qin, so they fanned the flames.

"Luo Feng!"

The corners of Qin Huan's eyes twitched violently, his gaze burning with jealousy and anger. He ground his teeth. "Once I get the chance, I'll make him suffer a crushing defeat and ruin his reputation!"

Darkness descended, and the stars shone brilliantly.

On Yunlan Peak, a bright moon hung in the sky, dyeing the mist surrounding the mountain peak into an enchanting panorama.

In the small courtyard, Luo Feng sat cross-legged facing the silver moon. With his eyes slightly closed, he slowed his breathing, his consciousness gradually sinking into his body, sensing the changes within.

The meridians throughout his body were several times more resilient than before. Majestic Yuan Qi surged within them, sounding like crashing waves and containing terrifying energy.

Luo Feng's consciousness plunged deep, eventually entering his Hell Realm Dantian.

The Hell Realm Dantian seemed like another world.

Two Meridian Wheels shone brightly, Yuan Qi circulating through them unceasingly, illuminating the entire Dantian and making it appear translucent with spiritual light.

Luo Feng's consciousness focused on a Yuan Qi vortex between the Meridian Wheels. This was the Yuan Qi seed Cang Nanyue had left in his body.

This Yuan Qi fluctuation is so strong, dozens of times stronger than before!

As his mind focused on the Yuan Qi seed, Luo Feng's heart trembled violently.

The Yuan Qi seed was a speck of Source Yuan Qi from a Spiritual Rotation Realm expert. It was originally only able to help a Martial Artist break through bottlenecks and improve the quality of their Yuan Qi. Once a Martial Artist entered the Eightfold Hell Realm, it could no longer help them advance their cultivation.

However, for some reason, the Yuan Qi seed within Luo Feng had undergone a subtle change.

The Yuan Qi seed rotated slowly in his Dantian. Each rotation released exceptionally pure Yuan Qi, which then merged into his flesh and blood, constantly enhancing his strength.

As his spirit drew closer to the Yuan Qi seed, he immediately sensed the terrifying Yuan Qi contained within it! It was exactly the same feeling as when he first entered Snow Valley.

Could it be that the Yuan Qi absorbed by the Yuan Qi seed can still aid my cultivation?

Luo Feng's excitement surged.

If this was indeed the case, such vast Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi would be enough for him to break through to the Ninefold Heavenly Court Realm, or even higher!

SHHH...

A moment later, Luo Feng opened his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and gradually calmed his mind.

His recent cultivation in Snow Valley had nearly led to qi deviation and demonic possession; it was a close shave with death, but the benefits he had gained were beyond imagination.

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi within the Yuan Qi seed, if fully refined, would be enough to allow him to step into the Ninefold Heavenly Court Realm.

However, how to utilize this Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was also a difficult problem.

If he were to advance to the Ninefold Heavenly Court Realm based on the current rate at which the Yuan Qi seed was releasing Yuan Qi, it would take him at least three years.

He had destroyed the Green Wood Trading Co., creating chaos and diverting the Duanmu Family's attention. However, traces still remained that could lead back to him.

The Duanmu Family would sooner or later connect him to this, leaving him little time to waste.

Luo Feng exhaled a long, turbid breath and muttered to himself, "There's always a solution. I didn't expect that casually giving He Qin a few pointers would yield such great benefits. This Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi can save me a lot of cultivation time. This is all thanks to He Qin."

Standing up, Luo Feng glanced at the sky.

It was already evening; he had actually been sitting still for an entire night.

Time truly flies for martial artists. I should go check on that girl. I wonder how she will react when she finds out she has comprehended Sword Intent...

Luo Feng smiled, quickly freshened up, closed the courtyard door, and walked out.

As evening approached, a thin mist shrouded the lake, giving it a pure and holy appearance.

Tianlan School was very peaceful. Bird songs drifted from afar. Occasionally, beautiful female students passed by the lakeside. Their bright eyes and charming smiles were a scenic beauty in themselves.

Luo Feng intended to find He Qin, but only after stepping out of his courtyard did he suddenly realize he didn't know where she lived.

Just then, two female Tianlan School students passed by. Luo Feng quickly walked over, cupped his hands, and asked, "Excuse me, Senior Sisters, could you tell me where He Qin resides?"

The two young women were around sixteen or seventeen, with delicate features and quite attractive.

Recognizing Luo Feng and seeing that he displayed none of the arrogance typical of a Number One New Talent, they immediately took a liking to him. A large-eyed girl covered her lips and smiled faintly, saying, "You're the Number One New Talent. We wouldn't dare to be called Senior Sister by you."

The other girl, slightly older, her pretty eyes showing a hint of nervousness, said teasingly, "It's so late, why are you looking for Senior Sister He Qin? Could it be you have improper intentions?"

Luo Feng touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed.

"Alright, no more kidding," the older girl said with a smile. "Follow the lakeside path, and you'll see a grove of purple bamboo. The innermost courtyard there is Senior Sister He Qin's residence."

"Thank you."

Luo Feng expressed his gratitude, then turned and left.

"It's truly unexpected. Despite being the Number One New Talent, he's so courteous. That Qin Huan from Red Maple Lead always speaks with such a condescending tone; he's so annoying," the large-eyed girl remarked, watching Luo Feng's departing figure with a pout.

"Xiao Min, quick, wipe the corner of your mouth," the other girl suddenly said.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

The large-eyed girl, puzzled, wiped the corner of her mouth as told but found nothing.

"TEEHEE... I thought you were drooling. Have you taken a fancy to him?"

The large-eyed girl knew she was being teased but wasn't annoyed. She pursed her lips and said, "So what if I have? He's a dragon among men, comprehending Grand Momentum at such a young age. Sooner or later, he'll soar into the heavens. In our school, only Senior Sister He Qin is worthy of him."

Hearing this, the slightly older girl sighed and nodded in agreement.

Their talents were ordinary; they were in a completely different world from geniuses like the Four Great New Talents.

Luo Feng walked along the lakeside for about half an hour, and sure enough, he spotted a grove of purple bamboo.

The bamboo grove stretched far and wide. Viewed from a distance, it resembled a magnificent purple ocean, a truly spectacular sight.

"What a fine place."

Luo Feng nodded. As he was about to step into the bamboo grove, his footsteps suddenly paused. He stopped, his gaze sweeping towards a shadowy area within the grove.

"Since you've come, why hide? Show yourselves," Luo Feng said slowly.

Footsteps sounded, and two figures emerged from the bamboo grove. The one in the lead was tall with sharp eyes—it was Qin Huan.

Beside Qin Huan was an ugly youth with a crooked nose and slanted eyes, also a student from Ivy School.

"To be able to sense our presence, you do have some skill," Qin Huan said, looking at Luo Feng with a disdainful smirk.

Luo Feng scratched his nose, looked at the two, and said casually, "Could it be that you two were waiting for me?"

Hearing this, the corners of Qin Huan's eyes twitched violently.

He had initially planned to deal with Luo Feng after returning to Red Maple Lead, but seeing Luo Feng and He Qin growing closer, he couldn't wait any longer. Thus, he had been waiting here since daytime.

THUD!

The ugly youth took a step forward, staring coldly at Luo Feng. "Kid, I have a warning for you!"

"Oh? Let me hear it." Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at the two with interest.

The ugly youth's slanted eyes twitched. He spoke in a commanding tone, "From now on, don't go looking for the Heavenly Fragrant Woman, He Qin again. She's not someone your kind can lay a finger on! You should just obediently head back tonight."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng glanced at Qin Huan. The doubt in his heart finally cleared, and he couldn't help but smile wryly. So that's it... this fellow likes He Qin. No wonder he was hostile to me from the very beginning.

He Qin was indeed a rare beauty, but Luo Feng harbored no such feelings for her; his desire to help her stemmed purely from gratitude.

However, despite this, Luo Feng was not one to compromise easily.

"So that's how it is..." Luo Feng said with a faint smile, his eyes on the ugly youth. He clapped his hands. "And what if I say no?"

HUMPH!

Qin Huan snorted coldly, an icy aura sweeping out in all directions. His anger was palpable.

The ugly youth, observing Qin Huan's expression, sneered. His chin tilted upwards slightly, his skewed eyes fixed on Luo Feng. "Then I'll break both your legs and make sure you can't go anywhere!"
