Chapter 45: Lin Feng's Identity
Lin Miaomiao picked out a white spaghetti strap dress, her snow-white shoulders exposed to the sunlight, making her look breathtakingly beautiful. Her delicate feet were adorned with white high heels, accentuating her slender figure even more.
"Beautiful, absolutely stunning," Lin Feng said, mesmerized.
"Really?"
Lin Miaomiao turned around, wanting Lin Feng to admire her properly. Unfortunately, having never worn high heels before, she stumbled and nearly fell. Lin Feng quickly caught her and said, "Be careful."
"These shoes are such a hassle to wear. If I don't use my cultivation, my feet get cramped and painful. Why do people here like wearing such strange things?" Lin Miaomiao asked.
"Being beautiful comes at a price. You can choose not to wear them," Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"Lin Feng, how do I look in this outfit?"
Wind Spirit stepped out, wearing a pink crop top, white shorts, and white sneakers. She radiated youthful energy.
Lin Feng nodded in approval and said, "Looks great; you have good taste."
"What do you mean? Are you saying my taste is bad?" Lin Miaomiao retorted angrily.
"Not at all; your outfit has its own charm. It's just that our styles are different. Miaomiao, since you're pregnant, you should stick to sneakers like Ling'er," Lin Feng suggested.
"I want to wear high heels," Miaomiao replied defiantly.
Lin Feng chose casual and simple attire for himself: jeans, a t-shirt, and canvas shoes. After the three of them got dressed, Lin Feng said, "Next, we need to get our hairstyles done. So the first thing we need to do is get some money."
"Money? We still have some silver coins," said Wind Spirit, her pockets jingling with the sound of coins.
Lin Feng smiled and replied, "Silver isn't very useful here. But we can exchange it. Just leave it to me."
Lin Feng found an antique shop and took out some artifacts to sell. With the help of Boss's introduction, he managed to find someone to exchange for Gold and Silver Ingots.
As they exited the antique shop, Lin Feng and the two women were followed by a group of thugs who had their eyes on Lin Feng's wealth. In a twist of fate, these thugs ended up being robbed by Lin Feng instead.
In less than a week, through selling antiques and exchanging for gold and silver treasures, Lin Feng had amassed six million.
Looking at the six million in cash in his storage bag, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel emotional. "Six million! I never dreamed I could be this wealthy. Let's go and indulge ourselves."
Lin Feng took the two beautiful women to a luxurious Beauty Salon. They spent the entire morning getting their hair done.
Wind Spirit had her long hair cascading down her back, with the ends slightly curled and dyed chestnut brown. After the makeover, she exuded a different aura, transforming from a college student into an elegant young lady from a wealthy family.
Lin Miaomiao also sported long hair but chose not to dye it. Her jet-black locks highlighted her fair skin beautifully. The effect of her styling was equally impressive, giving her an ethereal quality that radiated goddess-like charm.
Lin Feng opted for a short haircut, looking bright and handsome.
The total cost for their morning at the salon came to over eight thousand.
"Now that we have new clothes and hairstyles, what should we do next? How about buying a car? Let's go check out a dealership," Lin Feng suggested.
He led the two women to a BMW dealership. After browsing through various options, Lin Feng initially considered the BMW Z4, which cost around five hundred thousand with its 0 turbocharged engine. However, realizing it would be inconvenient for three people, he decided to look at other models. Ultimately, he chose the BMW 6 Series with a 4.4 twin-turbocharged engine, featuring front-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission, with an all-inclusive price of around one million.
"Sir, would you like to take it for a test drive?" the sales manager asked.
"Sure."
Lin Feng settled into the driver's seat with two beautiful women beside him and started the engine. The SUV began to move smoothly.
"This vehicle is amazing," Lin Miaomiao exclaimed. "It's quite comfortable. What model is it?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"Well... this isn't a magical artifact; it's called a car. It runs on gasoline. Once we hit the highway, you'll really get to experience its fun," Lin Feng replied with a smile.
After the test drive, Lin Feng asked, "Do you have any in stock? Is there a Long Beach Blue available?"
"Please hold on for a moment, sir. I'll check right away."
The sales manager left and returned shortly after. "Sir, we do have one in stock. Are you planning to pay in full or finance?"
"In full. If I pay today, when can I pick it up at the earliest?" Lin Feng inquired.
"The entire vehicle needs to be wrapped and decorated first, then there's insurance and registration..."
"How much will it all come to?" Lin Feng interrupted.
"Well, around seventy thousand should be good," the sales manager replied.
"Alright, let's make the payment."
"Sure, please swipe your card here."
"I'll pay in cash."
"What? Cash for the full amount?" The sales manager exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, where do I pay?" Lin Feng replied calmly.
"This... this way, please."
The sales manager took out some contracts for Lin Feng to sign. After completing all the procedures, Lin Feng pulled out a bag that appeared to be only thirty centimeters long and looked old and simple.
"Sir, do you have enough cash? The total amount is two million one hundred fifty thousand." The sales manager asked for confirmation, noticing that Lin Feng's bag seemed too small to hold that much cash.
"Yes, go ahead and count it."
Lin Feng began pulling out stack after stack of cash from the storage bag. The sales manager was utterly stunned. "Sir, is this bag some kind of advanced technology product? How can it hold so much cash?"
"Yes, it's a newly developed technological product," Lin Feng smiled, not bothering to explain further.
After leaving the dealership, Lin Feng took them on a plane and then on a high-speed train, allowing them to experience the wonders of the technological age and see things they had never encountered before.
In the evening, they stayed at a five-star hotel costing four thousand per night. During their free time, he took them shopping, immersing them in the trendy atmosphere of the modern era.
Feeling exhausted from their shopping, Lin Feng led them into a mobile phone store, where each of them received an Apple Phone.
"What is this new gadget?" Lin Miaomiao asked, holding the phone.
"Stay away from me, further away," Lin Feng replied with a smile.
Once he could no longer see Lin Miaomiao and Wind Spirit, he dialed a number and said, "Just answer the call, and you can talk to me. You can also video chat."
After understanding the phone's functions, Lin Miaomiao looked at the ordinary people around her in astonishment. "I can't believe these mortals can create such incredible things. With these devices, they can communicate over vast distances. This ability requires our Walker to reach the Legendary Realm. Yet they can all do it."
"Indeed. There are cars on the ground and planes in the sky. Anyone can ride them. Even without cultivation, these people can have an exciting life," Wind Spirit added.
Lin Feng smiled silently; while these gadgets were impressive, they all required money. Lin Miaomiao and Wind Spirit had no idea how hard it was to earn money. He recalled how before his journey here, he couldn't even afford a single wheel of a BMW. How could he enjoy such luxuries?
Although Lin Miaomiao and Wind Spirit were astonishingly powerful in their cultivation, far surpassing ordinary people, they were still amazed and delighted by this technology.
Especially the phones. They became enamored with them. Once they learned how to use the various apps and games inside, they found it hard to put them down. The two of them took selfies and played games, completely ignoring Lin Feng's presence.
Seven days later, Lin Feng successfully picked up his car. He took the two of them onto the highway, speeding up to one hundred eighty miles per hour—seriously over the limit. The Blue SUV raced down the road, overtaking other vehicles as they even rolled down the windows to feel the wind rushing past.
This drew a chorus of complaints from nearby drivers.
"Damn it, does this guy think he can go two hundred miles per hour? Isn't he afraid of getting his license revoked for speeding?"
"Wow, that BMW is impressive. He must be some rich kid. Driving that fast is just reckless."
A month later, Lin Feng began to take care of serious matters, seeking his origins. He hovered in the Void, closing his eyes as his cultivation spread out, enveloping the entire star.
The essence of life that he had possessed since his birth flowed into Lin Feng's Sea of Consciousness drop by drop. Gradually, Lin Feng began to understand his true identity.
Due to the different perception of time on this star compared to the Desolate Star, Lin Feng could not determine exactly how many years had passed. In any case, this star had indeed been devoid of life at one point.
Because Emperor Huang had perished here, the divine might within him transformed into boundless vitality. This gave rise to water sources, which then nurtured plants, leading to the emergence of living beings.
And he himself was a drop of Essence Blood from Emperor Huang just before his death.
This drop of Essence Blood was sealed within a massive stone for countless ages. Eventually, it birthed life, and at last, the stone cracked open, revealing a baby who cried out—this was Lin Feng.
A farmer ascending the mountain found Lin Feng and took him home to raise him. When Lin Feng was fifteen years old, his adoptive father passed away due to illness. Lin Feng became an orphan without parents and learned to fend for himself.
"So this is where I come from. No wonder Elder Ji thought I was extraordinary."
Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, having learned everything. His figure suddenly vanished and reappeared in a mountain village. He stood before a grave.
"This is where my adoptive father is buried," Lin Feng said as he knelt down to bow.
Lin Miaomiao and Wind Spirit also knelt beside him, paying their respects to the tomb.
"I never expected Lin Feng's identity to be like this," Wind Spirit remarked.
"Indeed. I doubt even the Market could have anticipated Lin Feng's true identity," Lin Miaomiao replied.
"What should we do next?" the Wind Spirit asked.
Lin Feng did not respond; instead, he closed his eyes to feel the aura of this star. The sensations were so familiar, intertwining with his very being with each breath.
"Lin Feng, can't you inherit Emperor Huang's legacy? That way, you could enter the Quasi-Emperor Realm, or even bring Emperor Huang back to life," Lin Miaomiao said.
Lin Feng smiled wryly. "The energy between the earth and sky is conserved. Emperor Huang's divine might is scattered across this star, and over the years, it has grown to an astonishing level. If I absorb this divine might and then seek further in the universe, there is a great chance I could reach the Emperor Realm."
"That's wonderful! If you reach the Emperor Realm, all problems will be solved," Lin Miaomiao exclaimed happily.
"But if I do that, this beautiful star will return to its original state, and all living beings will cease to exist. How could I bear that?"
Lin Feng looked down at the earth, gazing at the mountains and rivers below, at the towering buildings, at the technology, and at the mortals on the ground.
How many years of reproduction had led to today's prosperity? They all sacrificed for his own achievement. How could he possibly do that? (To be continued...)
