Chapter 1710: Chapter 919: Sorry to Trouble You_2
Lin Feng sensed the radiance and opened his eyes.
He sighed and quickly said, "Where have I practiced to?" After speaking, Lin Feng resumed his energy transmission. He seemed to have forgotten about meals, but just because Lin Feng forgot doesn’t mean others did.
At this moment, the woman in black had already prepared breakfast, a tray of delicious steamed buns. She carried the food box to the door of Lin Feng’s room and pushed it open without hesitation.
Upon entering, she saw Lin Feng meditating on the bed and said to him, "Hey, it’s time to eat."
Lin Feng had indeed forgotten about breakfast, but when the woman in black reminded him, his stomach started rumbling.
The woman in black was dressed beautifully today, her attire was in an elegant light color, very exquisite, with her hair cascading over her shoulders, styled in small braids, like a tiny braid at the side of her forehead.
She looked especially fresh and lively.
After hearing her, Lin Feng stopped his cultivation technique and went to the dining table.
"Thank you, miss," Lin Feng said as he looked at the plate of buns, some side dishes, and a large bowl of aromatic rice porridge, expressing his gratitude to the woman in black.
The woman blushed and quickly replied, "This isn’t my doing; it’s the breakfast made by my Aunt Hong."
Through his conversation with the woman in black, Lin Feng learned of Aunt Hong’s identity; it turned out she was the estate’s housekeeper and the only staff member besides five servants. The Sect Leader loved her cooking, so she was both the cook and the housekeeper.
Lin Feng scooped a spoonful of creamy millet porridge with a ladle and took a plump white steamed bun from the plate, biting into it. After eating two buns, he felt thirsty and drank two bowls of porridge.
Then, having finished the porridge, he ate all the buns. After several buns, Lin Feng finally felt full.
He felt somewhat bloated, possibly due to overeating earlier.
Lin Feng wondered why he now got hungry so easily.
At this moment, he felt like he was back in the mortal’s world.
The woman in black sat beside Lin Feng, watching quietly as he ate breakfast, gazing at him so intently that it was almost mesmerizing.
"Do I look good eating, why are you staring at me?" Lin Feng had already noticed her gaze but was too focused on eating to talk.
"No, I’m not..." Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, the woman in black blushed and quickly denied it.
She then picked up her bowl and began drinking porridge, casually tearing a steamed bun and tossing pieces into her mouth.
The woman in black ate very earnestly herself, perhaps as a way to avoid the previous awkwardness.
After breakfast, the woman in black and Lin Feng went to a building. This was a pavilion that housed treasures and contained numerous treasure weapons, secret manuals, Immortal Pills, and countless heaven-sent artifacts.
Lin Feng looked at all the items and said to Feng Ling beside him, "You have so many treasures here, it’s the first time I’ve seen so many rare treasures."
"How’s that? You can choose some to use; maybe they can help restore your power. And when you meet the Sect Leader in a few days, he can check out what’s happening." Feng Ling was indeed the woman in black. Although Lin Feng thought she was Su Liqian, after spending these days together, he realized he had mistaken her identity after the Taoxuan Heavenly Sect incident, leading him here.
Star Fall Mountain could be called the holy realm of the Mortal World, protected by guardian forces whose mysterious veil Lin Feng has yet to uncover.
Lin Feng came here smoothly, thanks to her company. Otherwise, for a mere mortal nowadays, reaching here would be incredibly tough.
Listening to Feng Ling, Lin Feng approached the display cases. He gazed at them from one to the next.
Given his current strength, he couldn’t use his previous weapons. Therefore, Lin Feng began selecting a suitable one here.
Lin Feng saw a shelf with an array of knives and swords. There were over a dozen types of knives from broad swords to daggers, and over a dozen types of treasure swords ranging from giant swords to short swords. He was dazzled by the options. Lin Feng looked and decided to begin with the most ordinary choice.
Lin Feng walked to the knives section and chose a dagger. This kind of dagger was merely a Ninth Grade Spiritual Artifact, slightly below a Treasure. The smooth blade gleamed, and on the sturdy spine were runes. Observing the runes, Lin Feng realized they were written in an ancient script called Gulanwen, a language with a history of ten thousand years within the Six Realms, indicating the dagger was an Ancient Treasure.
Although it’s just a Ninth Grade Spirit Artifact, in the Human Realm city, such a Ninth Grade Spirit Artifact is absolutely valuable.
Lin Feng chose the dagger without hesitation and moved to the sword display area. He saw the aesthetic and names of the treasure swords; each seemed to surpass the last. Declaring them "Star Fall Mountain’s exclusive treasures," also considered the mountain’s specialties.
Feng Ling noticed Lin Feng’s indecision while choosing a sword and began to tell the story behind these weapons.
In a clear and decent voice, Feng Ling said to Lin Feng, "These swords and the dagger you chose earlier are specialties of Star Fall Mountain. They possess unique secret techniques, which have saved their owners in crucial moments..."
Thus, Feng Ling narrated from the beginning of the story about the first treasure sword, recounting a tale from over three thousand years ago. The sword’s owner confronted a massive axe on the battlefield during a campaign against another nation. The axe emitted a dark radiance darker than night...
"One hundred soldiers were slain by this dark radiance, yet the sword successfully blocked it and absorbed the radiance into its body, defeating the person wielding the black giant axe."
Ending her storytelling here, Feng Ling didn’t elaborate further. Lin Feng suddenly remembered an incident at the Stone Temple, reminiscing about Xue Nian wielding a black giant axe, and recalled the time with a black dark blade, which was forged from the dark radiance heavenly fall hue, startling his mind...
Lin Feng always thought the Dark Radiance Dagger was darker than night, even darker than the giant axe. However, they are easily noticed, thus losing the advantage of surprise attack, as they make those weapons conspicuous, prompting others to pay extra attention once seen.
Actually, there’s more hidden within. Feng Ling explained the blackness of the Shadow Giant Axe was due to the mortal world’s black iron unable to withstand the Demon Lord’s Shadow Power erosion, hence its complete black color.
Lin Feng knew that the axe’s creator only blended a small amount of dark radiance heavenly fall with thousand-year black iron during forging, and the dark radiance heavenly fall was a relic from the Heavenly Demon war, discovered by the Human Realm’s Emperor. At that time, the person responsible for weaponry creation was perfunctory toward the Emperor, hence the creation of the black giant axe.
While forging the dark blade, the craftsmen incorporated the "Xuanwu of the Firmament" left by the gods, whose divine power can completely withstand the Shadow Magic Power. Thus, their counteracting power neutralized each other, creating an ordinary knife.
