Lin Feng saw that Ge Dazhuang knew quite a bit, so he generously continued to provide spirit stones.
"Alright, seeing as you're all so sincere, I won't charge for the following questions. Consider them a gift from me."
"This Feizhu Jisu has been missing since the Kunlun Patriarch passed away."
"Legend has it that the Kunlun Patriarch mastered eighty-one peerless secret arts, each one astonishing and earth-shattering."
"Feizhu Jisu is one of them. With the Patriarch's passing, the eighty-one secret arts were integrated into eighty-one peaks."
"In other words, each peak of my Kunlun Sect represents a secret art."
"It's a pity that legends are just legends; no one has truly obtained one yet."
"Or perhaps someone has, but they haven't announced it publicly."
Ge Dazhuang narrated this to them while eating a chicken drumstick.
"I understand. If what you're saying is true, then Desolate Mountain represents Feizhu Jisu, and our Uncle-Master Duan Liang resides on Desolate Mountain to obtain this secret art, right?" Lin Feng mused.
"Yes, that's exactly right."
"Moreover, I suspect Uncle-Master Duan Liang has already caught some scent of it. Otherwise, with his personality, he wouldn't be holed up here."
"I believe it won't be long before Uncle-Master Duan Liang can decipher the mysteries of Desolate Mountain." Ge Dazhuang's eyes narrowed into slits, looking quite smug.
"I think I understand. You guys chat, I'll be quiet by myself." Lin Feng vaguely sensed something and walked away alone.
He sat on the roof of the dilapidated house, gazing at the brilliant starry sky, lost in thought.
A moment later, Hua Yu also climbed onto the roof following the ladder.
"What are you thinking about by yourself? Are you thinking about that secret art?" Hua Yu sat down beside Lin Feng, and with her understanding of him, she immediately hit the nail on the head.
"Yes, I'm wondering if the pig I'm looking for is related to this secret art." Lin Feng thought of the pig mentioned in the prompt in his mind. Combined with the "pig" in Feizhu Jisu, he suspected some connection between the two.
"But what pig are you actually looking for? You said when you arrived that you were after a pig. Is there really the pig you're talking about here?" Hua Yu had thought Lin Feng was joking when he first arrived, but seeing his serious expression, she gradually realized he wasn't kidding.
"Hua Yu, we're already legally married, and we've been together for a while now, so I won't hide anything from you."
"Actually, the cultivation technique I practice is also very magical. It gives me prompts periodically, allowing me to develop special skills." Lin Feng revealed some of his secrets to Hua Yu. Through their prolonged interaction, he felt Hua Yu was trustworthy.
Indeed, Hua Yu was surprised to hear these incredible things about Lin Feng.
"You mean, this pig is the key to unlocking your new abilities?"
"Then, if you put it that way, I think Feizhu Jisu might indeed be related to the pig you're looking for." Hua Yu, being intelligent, also felt a connection between the two.
"I don't know if my guess is correct, but the old Daoist priest must know something. I think I should start with him." Lin Feng was certain that the disheveled Daoist had secrets. Just as Ge Dazhuang said, the disheveled Daoist might have already detected some clues about Feizhu Jisu.
"Yes, but the Daoist Master is powerful. You must act cautiously and absolutely not let him discover you," Hua Yu cautioned.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"As for you, I agreed to marry you because of the jade pendant. Aren't you angry with me?" Lin Feng asked.
Hua Yu shook her head, "No, I'm not angry. Because I was also using you back then. We can consider it mutual utilization."
"Besides, haven't you already compensated me with a new jade pendant? And it's made of spirit stones."
"I can tell that spirit stones are also very precious, otherwise Ge Dazhuang wouldn't have had stars in his eyes." Hua Yu smiled sweetly and took off the jade pendant Lin Feng had given her from her neck. Lin Feng hadn't expected Hua Yu to still be wearing the jade pendant, and an ineffable feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
Under the moonlight, Hua Yu looked like a fairy who had descended from a celestial palace. Every smile and frown appeared so quiet and serene. She was neither delighted by external gains nor saddened by personal losses, as if the world had little to do with her. Lin Feng gazed at Hua Yu quietly, inevitably becoming somewhat entranced.
"Don't worry, whether it's mutual utilization or anything else, I will never let you down."
"I will prove to everyone that your choice to marry me was not a joke, but the most correct decision of your life." Lin Feng suddenly felt moved, a powerful protective instinct rising within him. Perhaps he had come to regard Hua Yu as family and couldn't bear to see her bullied.
"Why do you have to say it so sentimentally? We have no feelings for each other. Let's take it one step at a time," Hua Yu smiled, not looking at Lin Feng, but quietly gazing at the starry sky.
Just as they were both silent, a golden light suddenly flashed across the sky and disappeared, like a shooting star, momentarily brilliant.
"What was that? It was so fast. It doesn't look like a meteor," Lin Feng noticed the fleeting light and his eyes suddenly widened.
"It really doesn't look like a meteor. Meteors are in the sky, but that light seemed to be moving along the ground," Hua Yu also noticed the anomaly and frowned slightly.
"Let's not worry about it for now. It's getting late, let's go back and rest." Lin Feng led Hua Yu down from the roof.
When they returned to the dilapidated house, Dong Yichen had already cleaned up the dust inside and even prepared two beds.
"Brother Lin, can you share a bed with Miss Hua?" Dong Yichen asked, covered in dust. He had gotten all dirty cleaning the dilapidated house.
"No, you and I will share a bed, and she can have her own," Lin Feng knew that the barrier between him and Hua Yu hadn't been completely broken, and he didn't want to take advantage of her.
"That's fine too. Anyway, Ye Kuang made me sleep in the dog kennel, so it doesn't matter how the three of us sleep." Dong Yichen was indifferent; he didn't have high demands for where he slept.
"You two are still laughing. Ye Kuang is at least from the Ye family, yet you treat him like an animal. If the Ye family finds out, they will surely be furious!" Hua Yu thought of Ye Kuang's miserable fate and felt a little pity for him.
"Miss Hua, actually, the Ye family isn't that terrifying. If we invite this smelly Daoist priest, who is so powerful, to deal with the Ye family, they'll be scared to death!" Since witnessing the disheveled old Daoist's divine skill, Dong Yichen's perspective had also broadened. Not only did he not find the Ye family terrifying, but he even considered the Heavenly Rankings to be child's play.
This was because there were always people better than you and heavens beyond the heavens. There were too many things in this world they hadn't seen. Just Ge Dazhuang, a disciple of the 'Miao' generation from the Kunlun Sect, he couldn't deal with. If they were in the outside world, with Ge Dazhuang's strength, he could shock many people. Therefore, without experiencing the world, they would truly be frogs in a well!
