Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Ji Family
"Sorry to keep you waiting, your Solid Foundation Pill has arrived."
The shopkeeper jogged all the way to Lin Feng, handing him the elixir with utmost respect.
"Solid Foundation Pill? Isn’t that for martial masters? What use would this waste have for it?" Shen Ling’er was very confused, and Shen Bingyan also frowned slightly.
"Maybe he’s buying it for other members of his family."
Lin Feng nodded, took the elixir, and left directly without even turning his head, appearing very decisive.
This made Shen Bingyan furrow her brows even more; she thought that Lin Feng would shamelessly come up to chat with them warmly, which somehow made her feel uneasy, as if she was inferior to him.
"Forget it, he’s just a waste, why should I care? Maybe he knows himself that he’s not worthy of me, that’s why he acted like this," Shen Bingyan comforted herself, feeling much better.
However, the shopkeeper accompanied them to the door, and after Lin Feng had walked a good distance, he greeted Shen Bingyan and her sister with a smile, pondering, "Do you two young ladies know that gentleman who just left?"
Shen Bingyan immediately denied.
"Oh, I thought you knew him, I was considering giving you a small discount to thank that gentleman for supporting our business," the shopkeeper said with a smile.
Shen Bingyan and Shen Ling’er looked at each other, puzzled: "That guy just bought Solid Foundation Pills from here, right?"
"Yes, that gentleman was really generous, he bought five Solid Foundation Pills here, spending 25,000 Gold Pearls!" the shopkeeper said cheerfully.
"What? 25,000 Gold Pearls!"
The Shen sisters widened their eyes in shock, especially Shen Ling’er, whose jaw nearly dropped. She had just scorned Lin Feng as a pauper.
But then the question arose, how could that guy have so much money? The Lin Family indeed has money, but given Lin Feng’s current situation in the Lin Family, how could he possibly afford so much money?
Could it really be that he was buying them for his family elders?
For some reason, Shen Bingyan suddenly felt agitated again.
After leaving the pharmacy, Lin Feng found an inn to stay and planned to first use the Solid Foundation Pills to break through to the Third Layer.
Elixirs are graded from one to nine stars, each star level further divided into the four grades: lower, middle, upper, and top.
Naturally, the top grade is the best, and although Lin Feng bought the upper grade, it was also extremely potent, entering his body and rushing through his limbs and bones like a runaway wild horse.
Realizing such pure medicinal power, Lin Feng was overjoyed, thinking that he might not even need all five pills to breakthrough to the Third Layer.
At that moment, an abrupt change occurred; the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book stored within his storage ring flew out on its own.
Immediately, two dragon shadows rose up, lifelike as if they had suddenly come alive, and in an instant, Lin Feng felt his absorption and cultivation speed increase by at least double.
Lin Feng was astonished. Could the Heavenly Grace Dragon Book also accelerate his cultivation?
Thinking about this, Lin Feng felt grateful, truly having stumbled upon a treasure; he must fulfill the last wish of that Ji Family ancestor’s residual soul no matter what.
"Not far from here to Unmoving City, just three to four days’ journey, and there are still more than twenty days before the Family Head selection. I might as well head to Unmoving City to see after I break through, not knowing whether the Ji Family still exists after so many years. However, with a Heavenly Martial Master as their forefather, they should be much stronger than the Lin Family, unlikely to have declined so rapidly."
Thinking this, Lin Feng closed his eyes and began to cultivate wholeheartedly.
...
The next day.
When Lin Feng left the inn, he was spirited and energetic. Originally, he thought that even with the Solid Foundation Pill, it would take four or five days to breakthrough, but unexpectedly, he achieved it in less than a day.
Now, his strength was comparable to a martial master of the Sixth Layer, marking significant progress.
"It’s time to cultivate a movement technique."
In the following days on his way to Unmoving City, whenever Lin Feng stopped to rest, he began to practice a Four Stars movement technique called ’Void Crossing’.
In an instant, a falling leaf drifted down from above Lin Feng’s head. Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes and in a flash, his body shot up from the ground, his toes landing steadily on the leaf and leveraging it to vault up even higher. Such a scene, if witnessed by others, would surely leave them dumbfounded—stepping on a leaf to gain leverage was nothing short of miraculous.
Whoosh!
Lin Feng landed, exhaling a stale breath, "Not bad."
In less than two days, he had already mastered the Four Stars Battle Skill.
"Let’s continue on the journey."
Seeing that the horses had enough rest, Lin Feng patted his clothes and set off again.
Lin Family.
"Excellent, truly excellent. This Destruction Finger seems tailor-made for you, Zihua. To think you’ve mastered it in less than four days, great!!!"
Lin Dong laughed heartily with delight.
Lin Zihua exhaled and a smug look appeared in his eyes. Mastering a Four Stars Combat Technique in four days, that was his talent.
"It’s a minor matter, Elder needn’t fuss over it."
"Good! Very good! Such temperament is truly rare, being low-profile yet talented, Lin Zihua, you are destined for great things!! In the Family Head selection in over twenty days, you will surely stand out!!" Lin Dong praised.
Lin Zihua responded with a noncommittal smile, "What, did the Great Elder actually think that Lin Feng had the power to compete with me?"
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Look at me, talking nonsense, that Lin Feng, how could he be your match, let alone mastering a Four Stars Battle Skill, even a Three Stars Combat Technique would probably take that fool seven days and nights."
Lin Zihua smiled faintly, "In twenty days, I will obtain the qualifications for Family Head, and then I will use the Jade Stone Room to push through to the Martial Master Fourth Layer and head to the Northern Territory to participate in the selection of the Green Wolf Camp under the Young Wolf Lord. Therefore, Great Elder, you still need to occupy the position of Family Head."
At these words, Lin Dong’s face lit up with joy. He knew that Lin Zihua’s ambition did not lie here, but hearing him say it out loud felt different, and he immediately replied: "As a young man with ambitions everywhere, I will also support you with all my might!"

Several days later, Lin Feng finally arrived at Unmoving City, whose scale was much larger than that of Boyang City, the Lin Family’s base, as it had once seen a Heavenly Martial Master.
"Senior, we’ve arrived at Unmoving City, you’ll soon be able to return to the Ji Family."
Lin Feng spoke to the Residual Soul inside the Storage Ring, who then floated out, looking at the city with a nostalgic expression.
He gratefully nodded at Lin Feng. Now transparent, he wasn’t going to last much longer, his strength would soon deplete, and he would dissipate into the world. Lin Feng did not delay and immediately went to inquire about the whereabouts of the Ji Family.
The Ji Family was very famous in Unmoving City, and Lin Feng simply asked a passer-by to find their location.
