The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1690 - 1695: Entering the Golden Core

Lin Fei’s body continuously underwent the cleansing of Heaven and Earth Qi, finally expelling all impurities. Lin Fei’s cells trembled, and he began a new cultivation.

That was to step into a more powerful realm, the Golden Core!

Originally, when in the Lower Realm, Lin Fei was already experimenting on how to become stronger. He listened to Zhang Fan’s words and learned that beyond the pinnacle of the Ancient Martial realm in the Lower Realm, there were greater heights.

Later, Lin Fei learned that the power of an Ancient Martial Artist at their peak in the Lower Realm was nothing compared to those in the Upper Realm!

Moreover, he wasn’t aware of the dangers that filled the Upper Realm.

Since arriving here, he hadn’t ventured below, and it was already dangerous for Lin Fei, let alone others from the Lower Realm. Thus, Lin Fei knew he must enhance his strength.

In the Lower Realm, many of Lin Fei’s cells already contained golden, Golden Core-like objects. Lin Fei wasn’t sure if these were Golden Cores, but since they came from within, he could only accept it calmly.

After all, he couldn’t change anything.

His body was continuously changing. Lin Fei did not realize that his chest began to emit golden rays of light. These rays were faint but could be clearly seen in the darkness.

Lin Fei, while unaware of what was happening outside, knew what was occurring within his body. His cells began to change as pure Heaven and Earth Qi continuously poured into him, making him feel the significant changes in his body, exuding a peculiar power.

This power brought new hope, and he discovered that every cell, like glowing fireflies, quickly illuminated all the cells!

"What cultivation technique is that? It’s so powerful and even emits light!"

Below, Yang Fan asked, to which Qian Miao shook their head, "I don’t know, but did you notice his strength increased again!"

"That’s right, just now his body didn’t have the aura of the Golden Core Realm, and in the blink of an eye, it’s already at the seventh stage of the Golden Core Realm. Such strength is truly terrifying!"

Hearing Yang Fan’s words, Qian Miao sneered, "Can’t you stop pretending to be weak and cunning? People like you will sooner or later fall into your companion’s hands!"

Yang Fan laughed, "What’s wrong with that? Don’t forget, I’m a genius, and a very artistic one at that."

Qian Miao shook their head, choosing to ignore Yang Fan. Yang Fan had decent strength, but his words were not trustworthy: if you believed him, claiming to be friends with you, he’d soon do things an enemy would.

Lin Fei was like a scholar ignoring the outside world, with no time to deal with others. He was in the midst of feeling his body’s changes.

"Could this be the Golden Core Realm?" Lin Fei wondered. Though confused, he could feel that after his body absorbed the surrounding Heaven and Earth Qi, the Primordial Energy transformed into more concentrated power that naturally became stronger.

"It seems to be true; this power is indeed the Golden Core Realm!" Lin Fei confirmed. He hadn’t expected to unknowingly reach the Golden Core Realm, much to his surprise.

But having reached the Golden Core Realm, Lin Fei didn’t show much joy. This all felt natural to him, as though it was inevitable!

Surrounded by experts in the Nascent Soul Realm, their power far surpassed his own. Even as a Golden Core Realm master, he wouldn’t stand a chance against such powerful figures!

One day had passed quickly, and Lin Fei continued to stabilize his power. An elder overseeing from above reminded everyone that the resource array was soon closing, prompting them to prepare for departure.

Lin Fei, of course, heard this. Over the day, he repeatedly consolidated his cultivation, strengthening his abilities, while the floaty feeling from leveling up slowly faded away.

As time ticked by, the resource array was about to close. The elder looked at Lin Fei below, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a massive stone pinning the last sliver of energy beneath, preventing Primordial Energy from leaking out.

At that moment, the array completely disappeared, and the Heaven and Earth Qi gradually weakened and finally dispersed into the sky.

Lin Fei stood up, with everyone watching him, looking toward this person from the Lower Realm standing within the array.

"Is he the one you said came from the Lower Realm?" a young man asked.

"Yes, he is. I’m not sure what he has, but he was able to reach the resource array’s first layer. Doesn’t Brother Nangong have any interest?" The young man named Zhang Huan had a somewhat sinister demeanor.

"Of course I’m interested, but I think the people most interested aren’t me but the three over there."

Zhang Huan looked up to see that indeed, the three powerful senior brothers and sisters on the second layer were approaching Lin Fei.

Lin Fei sensed the change; he looked at the three below, furrowed his brow as they gave him a very dangerous feeling. Their power was definitely several times stronger than that of Li Qing!

"You three are staring at me, making me nervous!" Lin Fei said.

"Haha, you’re an interesting guy. How about being my little brother? In this Qianhuang Peak, under my protection, Yang Fan, no one will dare touch you!" Yang Fan was amused by Lin Fei’s words, though Lin Fei didn’t find them funny at all.

"Yang Fan, you are just a disciple. Aren’t you ashamed to say that? Stop talking nonsense here." Qian Miao, the senior sister, spoke.

"Senior Sister, I’m discussing something with the junior disciple. Can’t you show some leniency and not interfere?" Yang Fan replied.

"Understood, but don’t get too arrogant, lest you attract the beasts from the inner sect, which will be more than you can handle!"

Hearing this from Qian Miao, Yang Fan felt unsettled; the creatures from the inner sect weren’t something he could contend with, so he could only nod, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister."

"No need to be polite; since I reminded you, now step aside for me. I have something to say to this little junior disciple." Qian Miao spoke suddenly, having something to discuss with Lin Fei.

Lin Fei looked at Qian Miao, definitely a woman of power and beauty, a woman not to be provoked.
