Phoenix Emperor
Chap 04's. Become Cultivator.

Time passed again, Yin Feng who had fainted had now regained his consciousness, and without realizing it his body was now much stronger than before.

"Eh, since when did the water go black?"

At first, the pond water was indeed green and emitting light, but because all the energy within it had been absorbed the color had turned black.

Moreover, the water changes in the pond were also caused by the poison that came out of Yin Feng's body, as the water inside the pond also helped purify Yin Feng's blood.

In other words, not only did Yin Feng become a cultivator, but he also gained incredible physical improvements, as well as having blood that was free from poison.

"Either it's just my feeling or it's real, but I feel like I've been much stronger than before."

Curious about the changes to his body, Yin Feng then tested the power of his punch by hitting a sizable chunk of rock.

The way he used was very risky, because if his strength was not increased, then the blow would only have a bad impact on himself.

"Bright... I have to be sure!"

Yin Feng let out a long sigh, then drained all the power within him into his right hand, after which, Yin Feng struck the stone with his fist.

Booms!

"Th-this..."

Yin Feng was startled and could not believe what had happened, the stone that should have been able to crush his hand, was instead smashed into pieces due to his punch.

Being still unsure of what was happening, Yin Feng tried to hit a few other chunks of stones, and all the stones he struck with his fist were still shattered.

"My physical strength has increased greatly, lest..." To satisfy his curiosity, Yin Feng then sat down and did a meditation.

In his meditation, Yin Feng tried to sense the existence of spiritual energy within him and sure enough, Yin Feng actually felt the flow of spiritual energy within him.

In addition, Yin Feng also felt spiritual energy gathering at one point inside him, precisely about two fingers below his navel, the point was called the Dantian point.

With the spiritual energy gathering at his Dantian point, as well as flowing throughout the Meridian points in his body, Yin Feng was confident that he had become a cultivator.

"Haha! It's really awesome!" Yin Feng laughed happily, as he finally managed to obtain the strength that he had longed for.

"But why did I get this power?"

Yin Feng's happiness changed with confusion, because he felt he had never done anything that could make him gain strength.

Yin Feng tried to think of several possibilities, such as the mysterious light he had encountered in his subconscious, but it had not been able to satisfy his curiosity.

However, no matter how hard he thought, Yin Feng still did not manage to find the answer to his question and instead made him even more confused.

"Well, whatever it is that's clear I've got what I want."

Although curious, Yin Feng preferred not to pay too much attention to it, because the most important thing for him now was to successfully gain strength.

"Now it's time to use the patriarch's gifting robe."

After a long time, Yin Feng finally got the chance to wear the pride robes of the Jade Lotus sect, which was also one of his dreams.

All along, Yin Feng had not wanted to not wear the robe, only that he felt it was inappropriate to wear it, as he was not a cultivator.

***

After obtaining the power mysteriously, Yin Feng decided to stay longer in the cave, while retraining the technique passed down by Xu Jiang.

During his stay in the Jade Lotus sect, Xu Jiang had once passed down several sword techniques on Yin Feng and all of them had been mastered by him to an almost perfect stage.

However, Yin Feng decided not to practice all those techniques anymore, because in order to achieve perfection he had to have spiritual energy first.

And since he now had spiritual energy, so there was no reason for him to refine it, after all he needed all those techniques on his journey this time.

The practice Yin Feng underwent took six months, a considerable amount of time for someone who was the first to use spiritual energy in his practice.

Although all of those techniques had already been mastered to the point of near-perfectness, Yin Feng had a little difficulty when using spiritual energy in his techniques.

Moreover, Yin Feng did the exercises without the guidance of a teacher, so it took a long time for him to be able to release his spiritual energy.

However, thanks to great effort and determination, Yin Feng finally managed to do it all despite not getting guidance from a teacher.

"It's time to add to the experience."

Having great strength as well as great fighting techniques, it would still be useless if you do not have experience, especially experience in fighting.

Therefore, Yin Feng decided to leave the cave so that he could add to the experience, one of the ways was to engage in the fight head-on.

After preparing everything, Yin Feng then left the cave to look for spiritual animals, because in this wilderness only spiritual animals could become his fighting opponents.

Yin Feng was actually expecting the presence of other cultivators besides himself, as he wanted to try to go head-to-head with the cultivator to find out his level of strength.

However, searching for cultivators in the wilderness was much more difficult than searching for spiritual beasts, and even if there were, that person must have great strength.

The wilderness was actually a forbidden area for an ordinary human or a cultivator, and only high-level cultivators could move freely within it.

The reason for that was because in the wilderness there were spiritual animals with immense strength, there were even spiritual animals that had reached the level of a ruler.

With such a level of achievement, it was certainly impossible for low-level cultivators to deal with it, it would even take some high-level cultivators to kill it.

As for Yin Feng, he could be said to be lucky to still be able to breathe until now, because he was protected by a mysterious figure feared by spiritual animals.

If not for the mysterious figure, it could be ascertained that Yin Feng had already become a spiritual animal meal since he set foot in the wilderness.

"Groarrr!"

After running for a few minutes, Yin Feng finally heard a roar from a distance, without a second thought, Yin Feng rushed closer to the source of the sound.

"It's time to test my strength!" yin Feng said as he accelerated his footsteps.

Dhuayar!

Not long after, Yin Feng was startled by the extremely loud explosive sound from the direction of the previous roar sound, even the explosion to the point of making the ground tremble.

However, the explosion did not make Yin Feng feel the slightest trepidation, he was even more excited and wanted to know the cause of the powerful explosion.
