Regarding Dong Yichen's words, Hua Yu had to admit that with the sloppy old Daoist's strength, if he went to the outside world, he could indeed sweep across the land.
The Ye family, relying on Ye Lingtian, a master on the Heavenly Ranking, had always occupied a position among the four major families in the capital.
However, the sloppy old Daoist's strength far surpassed that of Ye Lingyun. Therefore, families like the four major ones would show utmost respect to someone like the sloppy old Daoist.
Lin Feng did not interrupt, allowing Hua Yu and Dong Yichen to chat.
It wasn't until late at night, when Dong Yichen and Hua Yu had fallen deeply asleep, that Lin Feng carefully sat up from the bed.
Dong Yichen was quite restless in his sleep, with one hand constantly resting on Lin Feng's chest, fumbling around, much like an unweaned child.
Indeed, Dong Yichen was only eighteen or nineteen years old. Compared to Lin Feng, he was truly a mere child, still wet behind the ears.
Donning a jacket, Lin Feng stepped out of the dilapidated hut.
He went alone to the edge of the cliff and took out his phone, wanting to check on the recent situation of Liu Mengyao and the others. However, there was no signal here at all.
He wondered how Liu Mengyao and the others were doing.
Lin Feng missed the women a bit, especially since Liu Mengyao and the others were all pregnant.
And he, unable to be by their side, felt a pang of guilt just thinking about it.
Just as Lin Feng couldn't sleep, on the mountainside, a figure was furtively tinkering with something.
Lin Feng casually drew an invisibility talisman, concealing his body and presence.
It was his first time using an invisibility talisman. According to the instructions, its effect lasted for ten minutes.
Within those ten minutes, his body would be like an invisible man, undetectable by anyone.
Under the cover of the invisibility talisman, Lin Feng stealthily approached the mountainside.
Upon reaching the mountainside, Lin Feng saw the sloppy old Daoist furtively setting up a certain formation.
The sloppy old Daoist bit his finger and used his blood to dye four large spirit stones crimson.
The spirit stones were as large as bricks, many times larger than the smaller spirit stones Lin Feng expelled from his body.
"This is the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation!"
Ever since activating the formation skill, Lin Feng had become proficient in formations.
He immediately recognized the formation the sloppy old Daoist was setting up.
The Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation, as the name suggested, used four spirit stones as the formation's eyes, placed in the east, south, west, and north positions.
It gathered the power of the four symbols to trap all beasts within the formation.
Large formations like this consumed a massive amount of spirit stones. Even with Lin Feng's knowledge of how to set up formations, he couldn't afford to successfully deploy such a grand formation.
The sloppy old Daoist was indeed wealthy and extravagant, willing to deploy the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation.
Moreover, to enhance the formation's power, the sloppy old Daoist had also strengthened the spirit stones with his vital blood.
What was this old man trying to do?
What was so important that the old Daoist was going to such lengths?
Lin Feng frowned and suddenly thought of something.
Could it be that the sloppy old Daoist intended to use the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation to capture that pig?
The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
The desolate mountains were barren, with not a blade of grass, let alone the presence of wild beasts.
So, as Ge Dazhuang had said, the sloppy old Daoist had long coveted the secret of the Flying Pig's Speed.
This meant that the Flying Pig's Speed was related to the pig mentioned in the prompt in Lin Feng's mind.
Thinking of it this way, everything made sense!
Lin Feng felt a surge of excitement, secretly observing the sloppy old Daoist's every move, contemplating staging a plan of "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Once the sloppy old Daoist captured that pig, he would find a way to take it.
The sloppy old Daoist had no idea he was being watched by Lin Feng.
After completing the formation setup, the sloppy old Daoist clasped his hands together and shouted "Ji!"
Instantly, four beams of light shot up into the sky, and the illusory forms of the Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Azure Dragon, and Black Tortoise flashed in the sky before disappearing.
The Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation was successfully activated!
"It's done! Flying Pig, Flying Pig, I will capture you alive this time!"
"I've prepared for this day for so long. I truly hope you won't disappoint me!"
With the successful activation of the formation, the sloppy old Daoist showed a satisfied smile.
He looked around, saw that no one had discovered him, and contentedly left, taking a sip of his wine.
Seeing that the invisibility talisman still had some time left, Lin Feng continued to follow the old Daoist for a bit.
He discovered that the sloppy old Daoist had a hidden cave halfway up the mountain.
By turning a large rock on the mountainside, the cave entrance would open.
After the sloppy old Daoist entered the cave, he did not emerge.
Presumably, he had hidden in the cave to rest.
Lin Feng dared not follow him in. The invisibility talisman was about to expire, and he was worried about being discovered by the old Daoist.
If that happened, wouldn't this old Daoist just eat him alive!
Thinking this, Lin Feng hurried away, putting distance between himself and the old Daoist's cave.
He did not return to the dilapidated hut but hid in a distant spot, secretly observing the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation.
He didn't know how long he waited. Just as Lin Feng felt that nothing would happen tonight, a golden light suddenly streaked across the distance.
Then, the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation erupted with light, trapping the golden light within like a transparent glass dome.
The golden light darted around within the formation, and when it hit the edges, it recoiled as if burned by fire, unable to escape.
Seeing this, Lin Feng rushed forward.
At this moment, the light vanished, and the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation returned to its calm state.
Lin Feng approached and saw a pink little pig lying on the ground, motionless. It seemed to be stunned from the collisions, unable to even stand up.
Most importantly, this little pig had a lotus flower on its head. It was precisely the pig indicated in Lin Feng's mind.
"Damn it! This old Daoist actually caught it!"
Lin Feng could not describe his current feelings.
He hadn't done anything, yet he had stumbled upon a ready-made prize.
Lin Feng licked his dry lips and, seeing that the sloppy old Daoist had not been alerted, he hurried to grab the little pig.
However, before he could get close, the imposing aura emanating from the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation blocked him.
No wonder the sloppy old Daoist didn't guard the trap after setting it up. It turned out that the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation was something ordinary people couldn't break.
Even if one saw something caught within the formation, getting close was impossible!
What a pity, though. The sloppy old Daoist had overlooked one crucial detail.
As the inheritor proficient in formations, Lin Feng understood the weaknesses of the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation too well.
He took out a few spirit stones from his pocket and used them to set up a Four Symbols Derivative Formation.
The so-called Four Symbols Derivative Formation was designed to tear a gap in the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation, essentially creating an entrance and exit on the basis of the original formation.
This entrance/exit allowed free passage in and out of the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation.
With the formation set up, Lin Feng shouted "Ji!" and the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation immediately emitted a faint blue glow.
Lin Feng passed through the blue glow. Upon entering the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation, he immediately scooped up the dazed little pig into his arms.
As it entered his embrace, it felt plump and soft.
The little pig seemed to sense Lin Feng. It opened its eyes, its gaze somewhat innocent and bewildered.
Clearly, the little pig hadn't understood what had happened.
Lin Feng couldn't afford to linger. While the sloppy old Daoist was still unaware, he quickly hugged the little pig and fled.
Arriving at a secluded spot, Lin Feng placed his palm on the little pig's belly and circulated the Heaven and Earth Creation Art.
The little pig immediately responded to Lin Feng.
Its body began to fade, transforming into pulsing characters that merged into Lin Feng's brow.
A scripture appeared in Lin Feng's mind.
The scripture was the secret technique for the Flying Pig's Speed.
Lin Feng, unable to hide his inner joy, began to rapidly digest and absorb it.
The next day, Lin Feng, who was in the midst of cultivation, was startled awake by a mournful cry!
"Who? Which bastard did this?"
"Who broke the Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation that I painstakingly set up?"
The sloppy old Daoist stared at the broken Four Symbols Beast Trapping Formation and let out a frantic roar.
