Chapter 125: Chapter 123: Looking for Lu Lin to Exploit Loopholes (Added two more Chapters, four consecutive updates! First Chapter)

Chu Feng returned to the dormitory, placed the Pure Yang Grass in the room, and began to pack his military bag.

After giving it some thought, he suddenly realized that his strength hadn’t increased for a long time. It seemed like he needed some support.

He grinned and said, "I can’t be the only one bleeding here, time to find someone and snatch a handful of wool!"

...

The silhouette of Chu Feng with his backpack appeared in front of Lu Lin’s dilapidated apartment door, and he knocked.

A surge of spiritual power swept over, followed by Lu Lin’s surprised voice, "Chu Feng? Come in, the door’s unlocked."

"Hello, Mentor," Chu Feng said as he pushed the door open and walked to the sofa. He set down his military bag and took a seat with ease.

Lu Lin smiled from across the room, "Are you heading home? Is your injury healed?"

Chu Feng nodded and replied with a smile, "The injury is healed, Mentor, there’s something I need to discuss with you.

"I must remind you solemnly below, please control your emotions and actions."

Seeing him speaking so seriously, Lu Lin shook his head and smiled wryly, "Just say what it is. You’ve seen the notes in the ’Chaos Scripture’ as well.

"After experiencing the greatest setback of my life, I can pretty much say my heart is cold and as undisturbed as an ancient well.

"There’s nothing that can shake my spirits."

Is that so? Then I must witness this for myself.

Chu Feng took a deep breath, ready to run away, and looking into Lu Lin’s eyes, he said softly, "Mentor.

"Regarding the Chaos Scripture, I might have some clues."

At the same time, his right hand behind his back quietly gripped the Tang Sword.

But contrary to his expectation, Lu Lin on the other side was still leisurely sipping tea.

After swallowing the tea, Lu Lin finally chuckled, "It’s good to have confidence, but don’t be complacent.

"You’ve just begun your journey in martial arts, and you need to lay a solid foundation and accumulate a lot of things.

"With your current level of knowledge, you’re not yet capable of researching the ’Chaos Scripture.’

"However, you can share your thoughts with me, and we can discuss them."

His expression was that of a kind teacher ready to guide a mischievous student, full of benevolence.

Chu Feng felt deflated all at once, but then he thought it made sense.

He knew the magic of his Attribute Panel, but Lu Lin didn’t!

A freshman who had received the ’Chaos Scripture’ for less than a day and claimed to understand its secrets would hardly be believed, even by himself if their positions were reversed.

Seeing Lu Lin’s attitude, it seemed he thought Chu Feng was trying to win his favor.

Even though he didn’t agree, he felt a sense of satisfaction from his concentrated effort and personal report.

Chu Feng sighed, "With that being said by you, Mentor, I really don’t know how to prove myself anymore.

"All I can present are thoughts like needing to simultaneously cultivate seven cultivation techniques of the same level but with different attributes."

He glanced covertly at Lu Lin and saw the other’s arm freeze mid-air. Internally, he smiled to himself.

He had made the right bet, the fish was about to bite.

...

Lu Lin’s arm stiffened, and hearing Chu Feng’s sigh, he had already started to widen his eyes in slight shock.

The necessity of seven cultivation techniques rather than the original five was a correct development direction he himself had realized only after years of intensive research on the doctrine of attributes, combined with insights from the ’Chaos Scripture.’

A long time ago, he believed that with the Five Elements, it was possible to derive all attributes.

But later, he discovered that although wind and thunder attributes are derived from the Five Elements, they also possess some unique qualities.

Without the cultivation techniques of wind and thunder attributes, the ’Chaos Scripture’ simply couldn’t continue its deduction and would inevitably lead into a dead end, just like his past self.

These insights were never written down for Chu Feng to see; he shouldn’t know about them.

Could it be that the other party truly had an epiphany?

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and took a deep breath.

No wonder he felt so stirred up. He had held onto this endeavor for over a decade, thinking he had reached a dead end.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, on Chu Feng, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope!

Although it was most likely a false alarm, it still invigorated him, giving him the feeling of grasping at a lifesaving straw.

What if it were true?

As if afraid of scaring Chu Feng, he asked in a soft voice, "About cultivating that technique simultaneously, how did you resolve it?

"You must know that all the work is essentially stuck here. I’ve spent ten years trying this trick, to no avail."

Chu Feng smiled faintly and responded vaguely, "Wang Family’s second uncle from the Protectorate Nation knows my parents. He passed some things onto us three siblings and instructed us not to disclose them.

"Some of those tricks let me have some insights, but my realm is not high enough to confirm if they can be used on the ’Chaos Scripture’."

"The Wang Family’s secret techniques... It makes sense. The three major families have long-standing legacies, full of hidden secrets.

"Perhaps they possess some unknown methods that could be utilized here..."

Lu Lin, appearing thoughtful, then laughed and said, "Don’t worry about me forcing you to reveal the trick. I can’t afford to offend the three major families, not even a branch family."

That’s not necessarily true; appearances can be deceiving.

If it were not for insufficient strength and the inability to provoke the Wang Family, you would have probably snatched it by now.

Chu Feng mumbled to himself, but if the other party were that formidable, he wouldn’t be delivering himself to their doorstep.

Lu Lin crossed his legs casually and suddenly changed the subject, laughing in a relaxed manner:

"You didn’t come today just to say farewell and report on progress, did you? You’re here with a purpose, right?

"Tell me, do you need my help?"

Chu Feng felt like he had been seen through in the blink of an eye, an experience he found quite unpleasant.

But the man sitting opposite him was a prominent professor at Yan University, a big shot in the Cave Heaven Realm, and counted among the upper echelons of Longhua. His mind was sharp.

Battling wits with such people was still beyond Chu Feng.

So he honestly said, "Yes, mentor, I plan to go to the Iron Chain Demon Domain to search for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can help me break through my realm and to carry out a mission while I’m at it. I’ve already registered at the logistics office.

"But there are demons of the Innate Realm inside, and I don’t think I can beat them, so I need your help to boost my strength."

Lu Lin laughed, "So, you’re using the technique of simultaneous cultivation as bait to whet my appetite and ask for benefits, then backing it up with Principal Nie and the Wang Family, right?

"Clever boy.

"But you’re close to breaking through?"

He scanned Chu Feng with spiritual power, causing Chu Feng to feel uncomfortable, as if laid bare.

Noticing that Chu Feng indeed stood at the peak of Foundation Building, he pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "We have an agreement from before, and I am under no obligation to help you.

"However, since you say there’s a chance of deciphering the ’Chaos Scripture,’ it won’t hurt to make some investment in you.

"Though I’d prefer you stay and concentrate on your cultivation, I bet you’ll pressure me by bringing up the Wang Family and Principal Nie."

Chu Feng chuckled sheepishly, as he indeed had such plans in mind.

Lu Lin asked, "What would you like?"

After pondering, Chu Feng replied, "For myself, I hope you can provide me with something to protect my life.

"As for deciphering the cultivation technique, I need six sets of other Attributes cultivation techniques, apart from the Fire Attribute, and they must all be Upper Earth Tier!

"I truly have no personal agenda with the latter request—it’s all in preparation for deciphering the ’Chaos Scripture,’ but I lack the means to acquire them."

He left some thoughts unspoken—there was no need for him to pay out of his own pocket.

The efficacy of the ’Chaos Scripture’ was still uncertain, and since the other side was more eager than himself, it was only fair they should pay a price.
