I, the Invincible Genius, Only Want to Live a Low-Key Life - Chapter 6
Two days later.
Lin Feng finally finished reading all the information about the Nine Nether Secret Realm.
This included how many times the Nine Nether Secret Realm had appeared, what to pay attention to when entering, how many people had changed their fate by entering it-including some prominent figures-and how many people had stayed there forever each time it opened, becoming food for animals or nourishment for plants.
When he saw that the Nine Nether Secret Realm only allowed humans with a bone age under one hundred years to enter, Lin Feng felt a slight sense of relief.
Although he rarely left Lone Remnant Peak and knew little about the outside world, he had learned some basic facts about Li Province from his master, Su Mubai.
With a bone age under one hundred years, even geniuses would have limited strength.
The truly powerful ones were those old monsters who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.
This greatly increased his chances of finding the Bianhua Flower.
Moreover, the Bianhua Flower itself was highly toxic. Even if obtained, it couldn’t be consumed immediately; it had to be neutralized with other medicinal ingredients before it could be refined into a spirit medicine without side effects.
Even if someone else found it first, he could snatch it back.
No matter who got it, it was best if they handed it over obediently; otherwise, he wouldn’t hesitate to be ruthless.
To save his master, Lin Feng would not show mercy.
After understanding all this, feeling cheerful, he caught an animal in the dense forest of Lone Remnant Peak that resembled a rabbit from Earth, then went to the pond to fish a few fish, and started roasting them at his usual spot.
Soon, the meat was sizzling and dripping with oil. He sprinkled some secret seasonings and ate heartily.
Since coming to this unfamiliar world, what Lin Feng was most satisfied with was the abundance of food everywhere.
It was countless times tastier than anything on Earth.
The meat was fresh, tender, and melted in the mouth.
Even without any seasoning, it was delicious beyond compare.
He remembered that the first time he ate it, he almost swallowed the bones as well.
From then on, he fell in love with roasting meat under the big tree at the mountaintop.
He would come almost every day to roast some.
If he missed a meal, he felt uncomfortable all over.
Now, Lin Feng was the only one living on Lone Remnant Peak. No one cared what he did. After eating his fill, he would nap for a while or climb up a tree to enjoy the scenery. Life couldn’t be more carefree.
Over the years, he had eaten everything that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, or swam in the water.
His roasting skills had become increasingly refined.
If he were on Earth, opening a barbecue restaurant would surely be packed.
Just as Lin Feng was enjoying his meal, a figure appeared in the sky, riding a flying sword.
She looked at Lin Feng, who was eating and drinking heartily, her cold and stunning face expressionless, not even a ripple in her eyes.
The newcomer was Ye Qingxuan, the true disciple of Leng Hanshuang.
Ye Qingxuan ranked sixth among all the true disciples of the Divine Sky Sword Sect, making her Lin Feng’s Sixth Junior Sister.
Both were well-known in the Divine Sky Sword Sect, but their reputations were completely different.
One was a genius disciple, the other a useless Eldest Senior Brother.
Of the current generation’s Divine Sky Seven Swords, only four had accepted true disciples so far.
They were Haoran Sword Su Mubai, Taiyi Sword Luo Yuntian, Thunderclap Sword Zhang Ziwen, and Ice Soul Sword Leng Hanshuang.
The other three had yet to find suitable successors.
“Lin Feng, my master wants you to come over. She has something to discuss with you,” Ye Qingxuan said coldly.
She did not address Lin Feng as Eldest Senior Brother, but called him by name directly.
In Ye Qingxuan’s eyes, Lin Feng was unworthy of being the Eldest Senior Brother of the Divine Sky Sword Sect, except for joining a little earlier.
Not just her.
Other disciples of the Divine Sky Sword Sect thought the same.
Ye Qingxuan didn’t dislike Lin Feng, but she definitely didn’t have any fondness for him either.
After all, as time went by, they were destined to be people from different worlds.
With Lin Feng’s talent, he would eventually fade into the crowd, while she would surely become a core leader of the Divine Sky Sword Sect.
“Martial Uncle Leng is looking for me? Alright! I’ll go over after I finish eating. Sixth Junior Sister, do you want to come down and try some? The meat I roast myself isn’t something just anyone can taste. Consider yourself lucky today.”
Lin Feng looked up at Ye Qingxuan, who was riding her sword in the sky, and smiled as he invited her.
In fact, he had already noticed her arrival, but hadn’t paid her any mind.
As for Ye Qingxuan calling him by name, Lin Feng was long used to it.
She was a favored daughter of the heavens, so it was normal for her to look down on him, the Eldest Senior Brother who had given up on striving.
“No need! Come with me now. My master is waiting for you,” Ye Qingxuan replied expressionlessly.
“Alright then!”
Lin Feng tossed aside the bone in his hand, clapped his hands, and without a second thought, wiped them on his clothes-a habit he clearly had for a long time.
This action made Ye Qingxuan, who was flying on her sword, frown slightly.
Who would have thought that the Eldest Senior Brother of the Divine Sky Sword Sect could be so slovenly?
After cleaning his hands, Lin Feng rode his sword up to Ye Qingxuan.
“Sixth Junior Sister, let’s go!”
Ye Qingxuan led Lin Feng to land in front of Jade Maiden Peak, and together they walked up the mountain.
The Divine Sky Sword Sect has a total of sixteen peaks. Except for Lone Remnant Peak, which is unregulated and can be reached directly by flying, all other peaks must be approached on foot-this is the rule. Otherwise, it would be considered disrespectful to the peak.
The two of them walked through Jade Maiden Peak under the curious gazes of many disciples, and soon met Leng Hanshuang, who was waiting for them.
“Master, I have brought Senior Brother Lin Feng. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave,” Ye Qingxuan said respectfully to Leng Hanshuang.
“Qingxuan, stay for now!”
“Yes, Master!”
“Lin Feng greets Martial Uncle Leng!” Lin Feng stepped forward, cupped his fists, and bowed.
“No need for such formalities, Nephew Lin. I called you here today to ask for your opinion on something,” Leng Hanshuang said.
“Please speak, Martial Uncle Leng!”
“In less than half a month, the Nine Nether Secret Realm will open. Inside, not only is there the Bianhua Flower that Senior Brother Mubai needs, but also many rare treasures that can change one’s fate. The sect will send a group of people in. Are you willing to go and try your luck? Of course, it’s very dangerous inside. If you’re not careful, you may never return. If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you.”
Leng Hanshuang finished speaking and quietly waited for Lin Feng’s answer.
She had considered this from many angles before making the decision.
This time, even if Su Mubai doesn’t die, he is already completely crippled.
It won’t be long before everyone makes a move on Lone Remnant Peak.
Even Senior Brother Sect Leader won’t be able to protect it.
With Lin Feng’s current talent, it’s almost impossible to break the deadlock.
The only way is to enter the Nine Nether Secret Realm and fight for it-this is the last chance.
Hearing that Leng Hanshuang wanted him to enter the Nine Nether Secret Realm with the Divine Sky Sword Sect disciples, Lin Feng didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
He was determined to enter the Nine Nether Secret Realm.
But he didn’t want to go in with the other Divine Sky Sword Sect members-it would be too inconvenient.
The Nine Nether Secret Realm has a bone age restriction of under one hundred years, so almost none of the powerhouses from various factions can enter. Inside, he would be like a fish in water.
“Martial Uncle Leng, I think I’ll pass,” Lin Feng thought it over and still refused.
It’s much better to act alone.
Why invite trouble for himself?
In Lin Feng’s eyes, the Divine Sky Sword Sect disciples under a hundred years old are all burdens.
If danger arises, should he save them or not?
If he saves them, he might expose his strength; if he doesn’t, could he just watch them die?
That’s absolutely impossible.
After all, he is still a member of the Divine Sky Sword Sect.
So it’s better not to see, not to worry.
Ye Qingxuan, standing to the side, showed a look of disdain in her eyes.
This Eldest Senior Brother is not only sloppy, but also cowardly-truly a disgrace to the Divine Sky Sword Sect.
Leng Hanshuang hadn’t expected Lin Feng to refuse.
In her view, with such an opportunity, Lin Feng should have been eager to accept.
It seems she had overestimated this nephew.
She had thought his talent was poor, but didn’t expect his character to be so timid.
She wondered how Senior Brother Mubai ended up taking such a disciple.
“Nephew Lin Feng, you really don’t need to worry. Qingxuan will also be going in this time. You can follow her; with her protecting you, there shouldn’t be much danger. You must understand, this is your only chance to turn things around. If you miss it, it will be very hard to rise again. You should still remember what I told you last time,” Leng Hanshuang patiently persuaded.
Lin Feng naturally knew what Leng Hanshuang had said last time.
There are many people in the Divine Sky Sword Sect eyeing Lone Remnant Peak and the Haoran Sword.
Previously, the Sect Leader kept them in check, but now his master is gravely injured and dying, requiring the sect to spend great effort to heal him. Soon, it will be impossible to suppress them.
When the time comes, if he wants to keep Lone Remnant Peak, he’ll have to reveal some of his strength.
Given that-
He might as well enter the Nine Nether Secret Realm with the sect members!
Once inside, he can find a chance to slip away alone. Later, if he reveals a bit of strength, he can use this as an excuse.
Moreover, Leng Hanshuang was acting out of kindness. Refusing again would seem ungrateful.
Thinking this through, Lin Feng agreed.
“Thank you, Martial Uncle Leng!” Lin Feng cupped his fists in gratitude.
“No need to thank me! You are Senior Brother Mubai’s disciple, and I’ve watched you grow up. I only hope you can keep Lone Remnant Peak and not let it be taken by others.”
“Lin Feng will not disappoint Martial Uncle Leng.”
“Good! Qingxuan, in half a month when you enter the Nine Nether Secret Realm, take Lin Feng with you!”
“Yes, Master!” Ye Qingxuan answered respectfully.
Though she was unwilling to take Lin Feng, this burden, her master had spoken, so she could only accept.
Leng Hanshuang’s word is law on Jade Maiden Peak.
“I’ll be counting on you, Junior Sister Qingxuan!”
“You’re too polite, Senior Brother Lin Feng!”
In front of Master Leng Hanshuang, Ye Qingxuan dared not call Lin Feng by name.
Though they were all true disciples, the Eldest Senior Brother was still the Eldest Senior Brother.
