Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Chapter 558: Chapter 269: Killing the Old Pavilion Master, Fortune Soars

In the end, the Saintess blocked the three arrow shadows fired by Jiang Feng.

She only got her shoulder and cheek grazed; when she turned to look at Jiang Feng hiding in the forest, she saw him tumble headfirst to the ground, but his fleeing figure didn’t turn back—instead, he ran forward even faster.

Jiang Feng was too cunning.

She was worried Jiang Feng was luring her to come back.

Even though those three arrows earlier weren’t very powerful, she simply didn’t have the courage to face Jiang Feng again at this moment, so she vanished from Jiang Feng’s sight at top speed.

"Boom!"

A deafening crash echoed—it was the sound of the White-winged Roc slamming into the forest, stuck deep in the earth.

Jiang Feng got up from the ground as well.

He had indeed been trying to lure the Saintess, but his own physical condition had also reached its limit.

He approached the corpse of the old Club Master.

With internal organs shattered—such severe wounds, even the body of a Golden Core Powerhouse would perish; recalling the earlier battle, Jiang Feng confirmed the old Club Master’s soul had been crushed by his spear, his body and path had perished, and only then did Jiang Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

He noticed the old Club Master wore a space ring on his finger, took it off, and wanted to check what treasures were inside.

But when his Spiritual Sense touched the space ring, he felt resistance and couldn’t force his way in—it actually had a self-locking function, able to block others from taking its valuables.

Jiang Feng examined it closely, discovering that there were several special restriction arrays layered on the ring; after its owner fell, the ring would automatically seal itself. At his current state, trying to force past the arrays would trigger their mechanisms and cause the ring to explode, turning everything inside to ash.

To obtain what’s inside, he’d have to use the essence blood of a designated user, or try to unravel those restriction arrays—yet any mistake in the process would also lead to the ring’s explosion.

Jiang Feng could only put the ring away for now, waiting until the time was right, and his vitality was restored, to try breaking the lock on its restrictions.

He glanced at the old Club Master’s corpse—still uneasy, he smashed it into a pulp with the Qinglong Cauldron.

Earlier, he had severed his link to the Qinglong Cauldron, which caused backlash, but as long as he re-established contact, he could continue controlling the cauldron.

After all, Qinglong Cauldron was something he had refined himself—unless Jiang Feng died or personally erased all his marks, no matter the state, he could reuse it as long as the connection was restored.

But forcibly cutting off one’s link to a magical treasure brings terrifying backlash; like the old Club Master had thought, future advancement would be hopeless.

Unless absolutely necessary, nobody would sever their link so easily.

Luckily, Jiang Feng had Fortune Point protecting him—as long as he recovered his vitality, there’d be no trouble with ascending further.

"This old man was with the Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall. Killing him means I’ll probably face pursuit from every Mad Blade Martial Officer; I can’t stay in the Forbidden Forest any longer."

"With my current strength, even with a Celestial Dao Foundation Establishment base, there’s no way I can fight Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall. If I want to survive, I’ll have to hide someplace nobody can find—or seek protection from a powerful force."

"Sigh, Central Earth is so big, where could I possibly hide?"

"Divine Sect Mansion, Dragon Capital Underground Palace—Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall people will definitely get in."

"Seems there’s only one option left—find a force for protection."

"I’ll have to find Little Cyan Snake; the Cyan Snake Demon Clan has a long history, and Xiao Qing must know which sects can stand up to Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall."

Jiang Feng swiftly left, contemplating his next move while escaping.

He put the old Club Master’s Thousand Rain Sword and space ring into the Qinglong Cauldron, to prevent the Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall from tracking him through them.

Whether it’s the Thousand Rain Sword or the space ring, they’re valuable—you can’t just toss them away. Fortunately, the Qinglong Cauldron can break through arrays and conceal auras.

He hadn’t refined either item yet, but hiding them inside the Qinglong Cauldron meant no one could probe their aura for now.

On the way, he flew while popping Qi Condensing Pills, trying to recover his vitality and heal his injuries.

He seemed to be in bad shape, but at least his life was in no danger.

Thanks to the Qi Condensing Pills and the various healing elixirs he’d prepared, Jiang Feng’s vitality began to recover, and his wounds slowly started to heal.

To avoid running into Mad Blade Martial Arts Hall personnel, Jiang Feng took a wide detour.

Once he’d gotten far clear of the battle zone, Jiang Feng rested briefly in a cave.

Using Thousand Faces, he altered his appearance, becoming a cultivator who hunted for spirit medicines and spirit herbs in the Forbidden Forest; while he regulated his breath, he checked his status panel.

Name: Jiang Feng

Fortune: 22,771,755

Cultivation Technique: Yang Technique (Perfection) Foundation Establishment Technique - Mastery (1-100) Divine Sect Treasure Manual - Upper Part (Mastery+)

Skills: Alchemy (Mastery+) Rune Secret Spell Basics (Mastery+) Qi Condensing Pill (Proficient+)

Cultivation Realm: First-Layer Foundation Establishment (Divine Dao)

Martial Arts Realm: Divine Realm (Late Stage)

Divine Power: Immortality

Jiang Feng saw major changes on his panel—his Fortune Point had increased by over 22 million, and his realms now included both Cultivation Realm and Martial Arts Realm.

"So much Fortune Point—where should I use it?"

"Should I further solidify my Foundation Establishment base, or boost my Martial Arts cultivation?"

"This time I killed the old Club Master thanks to Martial Arts Realm power. If I pour all twenty-plus million points into the Divine Sect Treasure Manual, maybe I can become a Divine Realm Peak expert."
