Chapter 254 - Before the Celebration (1/2)

Edited by Lord Immortal

From this day on, Lin Xun devoted himself to practice without caring about other things.

Many practitioners who went to the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists for Master Xun found out that he did not appear again. He usually took several tasks every day, but now he had vanished suddenly.

This made many practitioners disappointed. They thought that Master Xun had left the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists so there was no hope of entrusting any task to him.

Some practitioners were unwilling to accept this and strongly urged the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists to invite Master Xun back, which made Chu Feng feel helpless.

Of course, Chu Feng hoped Lin Xun could always work in the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists, but it was obviously impossible for him to do so.

Even though Lin Xun did not leave the commune completely, Chu Feng knew clearly that Lin Xun was young and full of potential. Such a talented boy could not be retained by any commune at all.

Chu Feng was also very happy about this. Of course, he hoped that Lin Xun could become stronger and stronger. Only in this way could Lin solve his difficult problems when he had something to ask for.

Chu Feng admitted that he established a relationship with Lin Xun for other motivation at first, but over their interactions, he had regarded Lin Xun as a sincere friend.

He sometimes thought that it wouldn’t matter even if Lin Xun could not help him later.

It was enough for him to do his best and abide by his destiny.

In the courtyard, Shue Jin smiled and chatted with Chirps with a glass full of alcohol and spirits.

To Shue Jin’s surprise, Chirps was obviously covetous but eventually shook its head and refused. Its dark eyes were full of yearning but also determination.

Shue Jin couldn’t help laughing. He secretly praised Chirps for his obedience. Lin Xun had advised him only twice to not drink, and he dared not drink anymore.

“How could Lin Xun make such a spiritual beast like you follow him all the time without reluctance? God is really blind.”

Shue Jin muttered and glanced at Lin Xun’s room.

Unlike in the past, Lin Xun’s room was surrounded by vague and obscure fluctuations of power flow. It seemed very mysterious.

This was the simplest kind of Assembling Spirit Formation that was based on high-ranking spiritual stones and could gather the spiritual power from the world for practitioners.

Generally, although Assembling Spirit Formation was not complex, it wasn’t simple spiritual patterns. Only the powerful forces with a large number of materials would invite the spiritual tattooist to arrange the Assembling Spirit Formation for their family needs.

When the Assembling Spirit Formation worked, it would cost at least ten high-ranking spiritual stones a day, which was a huge expense that ordinary practitioners could not afford.

The reason why Lin Xu made this formation was not that he had a lot of money to spend. At the beginning of his practice, he had operated Nature-insight & Spirit-devouring Scripture and Windstorm Millstones to refine the power of Cloud-gang & Purple-spirit Pill. It immediately caused a stir in the whole courtyard like the roar of wind and thunder.

Shue Jin was shocked at once. When he learned that it was caused by Lin Xun’s practice, he felt a little strange in his heart. It was certainly not a normal scripture judging from Lin Xun’s practice.

Out of a kind of protection, Shue Jin advised Lin Xun to use Assembling Spirit Formation when practicing. It could not only cover up the effects generated during the practice but at the same time, it could also gather formation spirits to practice better.

This was very common in powerful forces. Some practitioners even dug a basement in the home and arranged several Assembling Spirit Formations to concentrate on practice that could not be spied upon.

After all, practitioners were the least defensive during their practice. In case they were assassinated by the enemy at that time, the consequences would be hard to bear.

Shue Jin wondered which Pond of Spiritual Power Lin Xun had that he could bear so many days of practice.

Shue Jin calculated that Lin Xun had practiced for more than twenty days at home. The Assembling Spirit Formation was running all the time and never stopped at all.

This was too rare. Practice time was limited for practitioners. When the spiritual power exceeded the limit that the body could bear, if they practiced again, they would either go mad or die.

For the Human-gang practitioners, even if they had the first-class Pond of Spiritual Power and extraordinary talent of practicing, few of them could keep practicing for more than twenty days without stopping.

Shue Jin stayed in the courtyard and witnessed all of this. He knew that Lin Xun’s potential for cultivation was abnormal.

For this reason, he seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, he was shocked in his heart. He worried that Lin Xun would meet a counter-attack after practicing so hard.

“Anyway, this kid is as cunning as a veteran, and he has a steadfast will. I think he certainly knows the consequences of haste and would not do anything bad to himself.”

Shue Jin muttered to himself and shook his head.

For Lin Xun, his life, isolated from the world, was quiet without any disturbance.

But in today’s Mist City, there was a great event that attracted the attention of the whole city: the centennial celebration of Keystone Business would soon be held.

Keystone Business spent a lot for this ceremony. It was said that at the day of the celebration, the top figures of the city’s powerful forces would all attend as promised such as Liu Wujun (the governor of the Southwestern Province), Wei Lingzhen (the president of Mist College), Du Dongtu (the leader of Ziling Army).

Each of them was a giant with the huge power of overturning the weather. They were not only famous in Mist City but also popular in all Southwestern Province.
