Chapter 358: Chapter 199: Refinement and Infiltration into the Imperial City

Jiang Feng made a wide detour.

Slowly, he actually saw White Tiger Mountain.

He had run from the north to the south.

He checked his Fortune Point.

Fortune: 775719

After looping all the way back to White Tiger Mountain, his Fortune only increased by a little over a hundred. Looks like he had already left the danger behind and shaken off the Cyan Python.

So he headed to the cave on the cliff.

There were still traces of his previous stays here.

Last time it was here that he refined all the Spiritual Liquid he’d obtained.

Back in the cave once more.

Jiang Feng took out the Tripod Furnace he got from the Second Prince.

This Tripod Furnace.

To his eyes, it was basically a modern ashtray.

Back when he was hiding in Dragon Capital, while the Six-armed Divine Emperor was around and for two months after he left, Jiang Feng didn’t dare to check it carelessly. He was afraid even a trace of his aura would leak and draw someone’s attention.

Now that he had become a cultivator.

Here in the cave on White Tiger Mountain, with no one around, Jiang Feng could finally rest assured and investigate what exactly this Tripod Furnace was.

He sat down, just about to set the Tripod Furnace on the stone slab.

His expression suddenly froze.

He noticed traces of something being scraped by hand on the stone, with a layer of dust on it.

Jiang Feng’s spiritual sense quickly spread out from the cave, wishing he could envelop all of White Tiger Mountain at once.

Then he suddenly remembered, when he left the cave before, he had absentmindedly crushed the Jade Bottle that held the Spiritual Liquid into powder—the powder was all over this stone slab.

If not for the scrape marks, Jiang Feng would have forgotten that there used to be a pile of jade powder on the stone slab.

But the spiritual sense that spread out only detected some small animals wandering the mountain; there was no sign of anyone else at all.

"The cave is well hidden, and not many people know about it. Could Sister Dong have been here?"

Jiang Feng thought of Han Dong.

"Doesn’t matter who came; no one would suspect me just for a pile of jade powder. Even if the Second Prince finds out, so what? With my current strength, what could he do to me?"

Jiang Feng wore a look of disdain.

He then left the cave, wandered around White Tiger Mountain, swept every corner with his spiritual sense, and only after confirming nothing was amiss, returned to the cave to continue examining the Tripod Furnace.

The Tripod Furnace in hand.

Compared to before, Jiang Feng felt a faint sense of rejection from it.

He pondered carefully.

He tried to infiltrate it with his spiritual sense, wanting to get to the bottom of it.

But he hit resistance.

His spiritual sense was bounced back.

"Damn it, I can’t handle a Little Cyan Snake, and now not even you?"

Jiang Feng snorted coldly.

He gripped the Tripod Furnace tightly.

Spiritual Power surged as he tried to wrap it up, planning to use brute force to erase the resistance on it. And what do you know, though a bit crude, the effect was actually pretty good.

Jiang Feng felt his Spiritual Power seeping into the Tripod Furnace, slowly engulfing a unique power within it bit by bit.

But the progress was extremely slow.

Jiang Feng spent an entire day with this dumb method, and in the end, the Spiritual Power he managed to infuse only accounted for one percent of the power inside the Tripod Furnace.

But even that one percent gave Jiang Feng a strange sense of intimacy when he touched the Tripod Furnace, as if there was an invisible bond between them.

"So if I turn all the power in there into my own Spiritual Power, does that mean the Tripod Furnace will be completely refined by me?"

Jiang Feng felt curious.

"May as well give it a shot—plenty of time to burn anyway."

Jiang Feng made up his mind; he would forcefully refine the Tripod Furnace with Spiritual Power.

He then checked the interface information again.

Realm: Qi Condensation (Second Layer)

Divine Power: Immortality

"Should I keep saving Fortune Points for when I can use them to upgrade Yangchun Technique?"

"Wasn’t easy to reach my current realm, but I’m still always so cautious in everything... It’s not that my realm isn’t strong enough; it’s that my Martial Arts proficiency is way too low."

"Loulan Slash has been stuck at the Perfection Realm for ages. Now that I’m on the Path of Cultivation, it makes no sense if I don’t have at least one Profound Level Martial Arts at Great Perfection Realm as my ace."

"I have all the time I need. Fortune Points can be earned slowly. Life-saving methods, though, must be upgraded promptly."

"Cultivators aren’t like Innate Martial Artists—there are countless Divine Techniques and Magic, killing enemies from a thousand miles away is probably not just a storyteller’s exaggeration."

As his cultivation improved, Jiang Feng became increasingly aware that the stronger the opponent, the less distracted he could allow himself to be in battle.

If he were to upgrade his abilities mid-fight, it could leave him with a fatal weakness at the most critical moment.

The strongest people he’d fought before were Old Demon Child, Liu Jinhu, and the like—even then, they were just Innate Martial Artists. Now, with his cultivation rising, his future enemies—those that would force him to upgrade—would, at the very least, be cultivators.

If the opponent had a powerful Magic and seized the opening while he was upgrading his abilities, it would be a calamity for Jiang Feng.

All things considered, Jiang Feng decided to advance Loulan Slash to the Great Perfection Level right now.

He remembered that upgrading Loulan Slash to the Perfection Realm last time cost him ninety-six thousand Fortune Points.

He then spent one hundred ninety-two thousand Fortune Points to push Loulan Slash further.

The interface details changed.

Fortune: 583728

Skills: Loulan Slash (Great Perfection) Wind Palm (Minor Achievement+) Three-legged Body Technique (Great Success+)

Thinking that Wind Palm had been stuck at Minor Achievement for so long—too weak to be useful—he instantly upgraded Wind Palm to the Great Perfection State.

The interface details changed again.
