"What? What did you say?" After hearing Wu Yanran's words, the Old Master stood up directly, his expression very agitated. Wu Yanran even noticed that the muscles on the Old Master's face were trembling.
"It's just a possibility, Grandpa. Please don't get too excited; let me finish," Wu Yanran said as she stepped closer and patted the Old Master's back, emphasizing her point.
"Possibility? Little girl, you know very well that it's been fifty years—exactly fifty years—since our Wu Family has devoted all our efforts to investigate this matter, and it's still just a possibility? This person is too important for our Wu Family." The Old Master took a deep breath and spoke to his granddaughter with a hint of melancholy in his tone. He then hurriedly added, "Little girl, tell me everything about how you encountered this person. I want all the details related to him."
Wu Yanran understood how crucial this person was for her family and her Grandpa, so she stopped joking and slowly recounted every detail about Lin Feng.
"His name is Lin Feng. He doesn't seem to be a local from City A. His skills with Gambling Stones are exceptional. Most importantly, today he made a bet with the Qian Family, who are on the same street as Gambling Stone..." Wu Yanran began to share her memories of Lin Feng, making sure not to miss any details in order to give her Grandpa a comprehensive understanding of Lin Feng and how she encountered him.
"Oh, if that's the case, it does sound very likely. Girl, call your Uncle Bing in here. And remember, aside from you, I don't want anyone else to know about this matter, understand?" The Old Master could no longer sit still; he immediately stood up, exuding an aura that made Wu Yanran hesitant to look directly at him as he instructed her.
From birth until now, Wu Yanran had seen her Grandpa angry several times, but she had never seen him handle a matter so seriously.
At that moment, she dared not delay any further and exited the room to carry out her Grandpa's orders. Wu Yanran was not an inconsiderate girl; she knew that executing her Grandpa's commands was of utmost importance at this time.
Once Wu Yanran left, the Old Master walked over to the window and gazed at the bamboo forest outside, muttering to himself, "Lin Feng, I hope you are that person. The Wu Family truly needs you."
Soon after, despite appearing calm on the surface, people continued to come and go from Wu Family Villa. A team from the core Intelligence Team of the Wu Family was dispatched by the Old Master. On the balcony of the second floor of Wu Family Villa, Wu Yanran watched the team leave and couldn't help but recall everything about Lin Feng. Although they had only met once, she had a feeling that Lin Feng was definitely not an ordinary person.
She knew that she would have further interactions with Lin Feng.
At that moment, Lin Feng was unaware that he had already caught the attention of the Wu Family. After returning to the hotel with Dong Jie and Chen Xinni, he briefly explained things to Dong Jie before closing the door to practice.
He didn't go into detail with Dong Jie; he simply mentioned that he felt his cultivation was on the verge of breaking through and instructed Dong Jie not to let anyone disturb him before shutting the door.
Lin Feng was looking forward to refining the Jade Energy within the magic ring because having previously absorbed some Jade Energy, he knew it could indeed enhance his strength and potentially allow him to possess Internal Energy and become a master.
Thinking about how he had found a way to increase the spatial energy within the magic ring shortly after arriving in City A and encountered such a naive member of the Qian Family who provided him with abundant Jade Energy for free made Lin Feng want to laugh. At the same time, he felt that his good fortune was about to arrive. At least when he returned to City B—a mid-level city—he wouldn't fear the Song Family anymore.
Lin Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and began the process of refining the Jade Energy within the magic ring.
In fact, refining Jade Energy wasn't too difficult. The risks were low; it involved using oneself as a medium to transform Jade Energy into spatial energy within the magic ring. As the spatial energy of the ring increased, Lin Feng, as its master, would naturally see an increase in his own strength. This would result in a threefold benefit: enhancing his own power, boosting his Mental Power, and expanding the magic ring's space.
Upon entering the room, Lin Feng immediately summoned Tesla. Although refining Jade Energy was not particularly risky or difficult—Lin Feng had even tried it himself—he knew that his experience was still lacking. It was wise to seek Tesla's advice, as he was undoubtedly an expert when it came to understanding the magic ring.
"With such abundant Jade Energy available, Tesla, what should I do next?" Lin Feng asked directly without any pretense.
"Heh heh... Do I really need to tell you? Just absorb it directly. Kid, I have to say, your luck is quite good. You turned misfortune into fortune—not only did you gain an energy body that increases spatial energy, but you also have the chance to absorb so much Jade Energy at once. Not bad! Absorb it well; I estimate that after absorbing this Jade Energy, your strength will surpass that of an ordinary Inner Strength Expert. You won't have to hide like a turtle anymore," Tesla replied happily. He was genuinely pleased to see Lin Feng grow stronger since he now lived within Lin Feng's magic ring; Lin Feng was like half a master and half a junior to him. In this world, Lin Feng was his only close companion.
"I can stretch and shrink as needed! What turtle? Just wait; after I refine this energy, I'll take down those Inner Strength Experts from the Song Family. I'll be formidable too!" In the past, if Tesla had compared him to a turtle, Lin Feng would have accepted it since he couldn't compete with the Song Family. But now, with such immense energy at his disposal, Lin Feng felt an overwhelming confidence and wouldn't tolerate such "insults" from Tesla.
"Alright, you're impressive. But let's see if you can back up those words after you refine this energy. I must warn you that according to my understanding, converting this Jade Energy into spatial energy within the magic ring is not that easy. Don't get too cocky; otherwise, you might end up regretting it," Tesla seized every opportunity to undermine Lin Feng's confidence with a dose of cold reality.
However, Tesla's words were not without merit. Increasing one's strength through energy conversion was inherently extraordinary; if everything went smoothly during the refining process, wouldn't that be unfair?
Thus, after hearing Tesla's words, Lin Feng surprisingly did not retort but instead began making preparations.
With such a massive energy conversion process ahead of him, would it consume a lot of his physical strength? Would he be unable to stop once he started? Would it be painful? These were all questions Lin Feng considered after listening to Tesla.
Regarding these concerns, Lin Feng believed that no matter how painful it might be, based on his past experiences, he should be able to endure it. After all, he had faced pain before. However, if too much energy was consumed during the process, that was indeed something Lin Feng needed to think about and prepare for.
Seeing Lin Feng seriously contemplating after hearing his advice, Tesla nodded with satisfaction. His earlier comments seemed like criticism aimed at dampening Lin Feng's spirits but were actually reminders for him. It appeared that Lin Feng had taken his words to heart, so Tesla chose not to say anything further.
"Ah... I got it! I can prepare some chocolate and cold water!" Not long after, Lin Feng slapped his thigh in realization. He had overlooked a simple yet crucial detail: chocolate was excellent for replenishing energy and easy to consume. If he needed to replenish his energy during the refining process later on, chocolate would be perfect.
Thinking quickly led him into action; Lin Feng knew some things couldn't be delayed. The sooner he improved his strength, the better—especially since the Song Family was still Watching Like a Hawk; he couldn't afford to let his guard down.
With that in mind, Lin Feng opened the door and went out to gather materials he might need for refining energy.
"Ah, Lin Feng! You're done so soon?" Dong Jie heard that Lin Feng needed solitude for cultivation and immediately gave up her nap. She moved a chair to guard the door of Lin Feng's room and added several locks to the hotel door. She planned to stay there until Lin Feng finished cultivating but didn't expect him to come out so quickly. Wasn't he supposed to be in seclusion? So she asked curiously.
"Jie, why aren't you taking a nap? I remember you have that habit." He was quite surprised to run into Dong Jie and Lin Feng at his door. He greeted Dong Jie mainly because he was worried she might come looking for him during his refining process, not expecting her to take it so seriously.
"I'm fine without a nap. I'm just here keeping watch. By the way, I didn't get a chance to ask earlier, Lin Feng, how long do you need to cultivate?" Dong Jie asked curiously.
"I'm not really sure either; it should take quite a while. Jie, just lock the door behind you. You don't need to stay here," Lin Feng replied. He knew he couldn't be disturbed during his retreat, but there was no need for Dong Jie to sit there; after all, she needed rest too. Besides, if someone really wanted to disturb him, a door wouldn't stop them, and Dong Jie being there wouldn't change much. However, that possibility was extremely low.
"Oh, I'm not worried. I'll just keep watch here. Lin Feng, where are you going?" Dong Jie insisted on staying put and asked again as Lin Feng prepared to leave.
Seeing Dong Jie's firm attitude, Lin Feng realized it would be impossible to convince her to leave, so he decided not to argue further. "Alright then, Jie, just wait here for a bit. I'm going down to buy some chocolate and a big bucket of water."
"What do you need those for?" Dong Jie asked again.
"I don't have time to explain right now; you'll find out soon enough," Lin Feng said as he put on his coat and headed for the door.
Seeing this, Dong Jie followed him out. She hadn't even changed out of her clothes; she just threw on a coat to go outside. In fact, she was worried that if she insisted on staying here, Lin Feng might go somewhere else to cultivate instead, so she felt the need to supervise him.
At that moment, Lin Feng didn't have time to consider Dong Jie's concerns and simply took her along as they stepped outside together.
Meanwhile, in the hotel lobby's Manager's Office where Lin Feng was staying, several aggressive individuals barged in despite the attempts of the Lobby Manager and Secretary to stop them.
