After sending Bi Yao away, Lin Xing was full of energy and even ate with more gusto. Zeng Shushu and the others were completely puzzled!
Well, using the hindsight of a time - traveler to manipulate the plot at will, such a high - level wicked pleasure was really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!
However, during this time, one thing made Lin Xing suspicious, and that was Su Lingfeng.
For this woman with extremely high cultivation and a possible connection to that nameless will, Lin Xing had always been a bit on guard. She wasn't in the original work. Why did she appear?
Lin Xing had asked Shuiyue about it once. This Su Lingfeng had no signs of anything abnormal.
But now? Facing this table full of delicacies, even the cold - beauty Lu Xueqi, although seemingly indifferent on the surface, still ate a bit faster.
Not to mention the others.
Except for Su Lingfeng.
She behaved gracefully, and her pair of intelligent eyes only made people associate her with a refined young lady. When picking up food, she occasionally showed a bit of playfulness and impatience, as if she really liked to eat.
But, damn it, have you ever seen someone who likes food eat one mouthful in ten bites?
With his extremely powerful spiritual power, Lin Xing could clearly perceive every move on the dining table without even looking deliberately. Everyone, including himself, ate several times more food than Su Lingfeng!
Su Lingfeng didn't take this table of dishes seriously at all! A table of dishes bought with a gold bar! She didn't care!!
This wasn't just a matter of being pampered. She must have eaten too many delicacies!
Could Xiaozhu Peak be so wealthy?
Lin Xing was really uncomfortable - although he was very powerful now, he still had to be on guard against schemes!
Tonight, how about paying a secret visit to her boudoir?
Thinking of this, Lin Xing pretended to suddenly remember and shouted towards the door: "Waiter - "
A chubby fat man ran up, laughing and saying: "Esteemed guest, the waiter is not here. The shopkeeper is here to serve you!"
His eyes glanced towards Lin Xing's bosom, as if looking for something.
"Stop looking. I don't have a gold bar here!" Lin Xing burped, acting like a nouveau riche. "Bring me six of the best upper - class rooms, one for each person. Be ready to serve at any time during the night, and also..."
After listing a long string of requests, Lin Xing took out a gold ingot under the shopkeeper's pitiful gaze - although he had a lot of money, he still had to save it!
"Junior Brother Lin Xing is really generous." Su Lingfeng cast a glance at him with her bright eyes, and Lin Xing immediately had a feeling of being seen through.
Damn it, really? Can she figure it out just like that?
Stating so many requests and taking out that completely unnecessary gold ingot were all to attract attention - six upper - class rooms.
Six rooms meant that the six of them had to live separately.
Once they lived separately, Lin Xing's actions at night would be more convenient.
So many twists and turns. Can you figure it out instantly? You might as well be called "Su Zhuge"! I must be overthinking it!
"What can I do? There's so much money in Longshou Peak that I can't spend it all!" Lin Xing shook his head and sighed. On the other side of the table, Qi Hao gritted his teeth so hard that they creaked, and then spat out a horribly chewed - up bone with a clang...
Then Lin Xing waited until nightfall.
A pitch - black night, a sneaky night...
Lin Xing swaggered out of his room, swaggered into Su Lingfeng's room, and then swaggered to the bedside - because Lin Xing had investigated in advance, and this girl was sound asleep.
Su Lingfeng was also a beauty on the same level as Tian Ling'er, and she was of the gentle and intelligent type. She wasn't as lively as Jin Ping'er, nor was she an ice - beauty like Lu Xueqi - she was in the middle, taking the middle path.
But her appearance was extraordinary!
"No, I have to focus on the important matter!" Lin Xing stretched out his hand and pried open Su Lingfeng's eyelids.
The Kaleidoscope Sharingan spun violently, and spiritual power burst out!
Su Lingfeng's hand moved slightly, as if she had a premonition of something, but then she immediately put it down and stopped struggling completely.
"Alas, there's no way. My spiritual power is too strong!" Lin Xing boasted.
In fact, it wasn't just a matter of spiritual power. Lin Xing's Kaleidoscope Sharingan was still incomplete and had a lot of room for improvement. For each of the eight trigrams that awakened, the power, control, and pupil power of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan would rise to a new level.
The "Zhen Gua" that awakened not long ago had not only given Lin Xing the ability to control thunder and the artistic conception of thunder, but also enhanced the Kaleidoscope Sharingan itself.
The devouring of the nameless will also made Lin Xing proficient in using the Charm Heart Sutra and the Sharingan, especially the techniques and Daoist arts related to controlling people's minds, evil, and bloodshed. Lin Xing could use them as if they were second - nature. Just like the increase in affinity for water after absorbing the Water Qilin, this was a direct and side - effect - free change to his own nature, which was incomparable to those natural treasures that forcefully enhanced one's strength!
In other words, this improved his "talent"!
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lin Xing stared at Su Lingfeng with his eyes, and his spiritual power was constantly at work.
"What's your name?"
"Su Lingfeng."
"How old are you this year?"
"I don't know."
"Very good!"
Lin Xing snapped his fingers. Finally, he was sure.
This girl was adopted by the Qingyun Sect when she was a baby. How could she know her age?
However, why did I have the illusion that she might break free from control? Lin Xing shook his head in confusion.
"Okay, I ask you, are you a spy?"
"No."
"Are you on the side of the Qingyun Sect?"
"Yes."
"That's not right. Then why is your Daoist art so high - level?"
"It's a matter of talent."
"... Can you still make jokes while being hypnotized?"
"Yes."
Lin Xing was speechless. Had he made a mistake? Or did Su Lingfeng just have a small appetite by nature?
Fine! Try one last question! This one will definitely work!!
Lin Xing coughed twice and said a bit sheepishly: "Well, tell me about your perception of water?"
After saying that, his face turned a bit red with embarrassment.
Lin Xing thought he had a great talent, and with the dual assistance of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan and the Water Qilin, he had actually lost to this girl in the attainment of "water". He was a bit resentful!
He had to ask for the secret!
However, Lin Xing was still a bit worried because the artistic conception was really something that was more easily understood than explained. If he encountered someone like Tian Buyi who could only practice by himself and didn't know how to teach others, asking would be a waste of time!
Lin Xing looked at Su Lingfeng's dull eyes, hoping that she could explain it vividly in this state...
"The cultivation of the artistic conception of water is divided into three steps." Su Lingfeng opened her cherry - red lips and said slowly, immediately shocking Lin Xing!
Three steps? There was actually a systematic study of this? He had really never heard of it!
"The first step is to enter the artistic conception from the form. The second step is to obtain the artistic conception and forget the form. The third step is to have both form and artistic conception." Her tone was a bit stiff, but the content was solid. Lin Xing pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
"The key point of the first step lies in..."
Originally, Lin Xing came to test this girl, but who knew he turned into a good student. Su Lingfeng's explanation was simple and profound, and she expounded on the great principles in an orderly manner. There were even some theories that Lin Xing had never heard of before. He found them extremely novel, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that they secretly coincided with the Daoist arts he had learned before, making his heart itch.
Even Cangsong couldn't explain it as well as she did!
"Who taught you all these?" After a long time, Lin Xing asked. He didn't believe that Su Lingfeng could come up with these on her own.
For a moment, Su Lingfeng's dull eyes seemed to regain clarity, and her tone involuntarily carried a bit of sadness: "It was a... an old friend."
