Chapter 1972 - 1954: Sima Yunsheng
The most important thing right now is that Lin Feng needs teleportation spirit stones, the more the better. The Spiritual Energy here is so rich that it will naturally produce many teleportation spirit stones. Having these people gather enough teleportation spirit stones will make using the teleportation formation more convenient. Once the teleportation formation can be used normally, everything here will be on track, and he can go about his own business.
"Sect Master, rest assured, I will take them to do what you’ve instructed." Shi Lang immediately responded when he heard Lin Feng say this, saluted Lin Feng, and then took the crowd away.
Watching everyone leave, Lin Feng pondered for a moment. He did not follow the crowd to explore anything here; he was thinking about another matter. Having arrived here through the special teleportation of the sapling, could he possibly teleport to other worlds through the sapling as well? With this thought, Lin Feng immediately placed his hand on the tree, initiating a communication with his soul.
"Sapling, how many of your offspring have grown?" Lin Feng asked straightforwardly.
"There used to be more than thirty, but now there are only a dozen left. What do you want?" The sapling was quite puzzled by Lin Feng’s inquiry.
"I want to see other worlds through you, just like how I came here. Can you do that?" Lin Feng asked the sapling.
"Of course I can, but which world do you want to go to?" The sapling immediately asked upon hearing Lin Feng’s words.
"Choose the one with the highest concentration of Spiritual Energy; I want to take a look." Lin Feng thought for a moment, then replied.
"Then go to the Divine Oracle Planet, known as the Divine Oracle Cultivation Realm. The Spiritual Energy concentration there is even more exaggerated than here, fitting your criteria." The sapling thought for a while and identified three places with higher Spiritual Energy concentrations than here, but the Divine Oracle Cultivation Realm had the highest concentration, more than twice as rich as here, which definitely met Lin Feng’s requirements.
"No problem." Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction upon hearing the sapling’s answer, then immediately went to the top of the tree. He finally arrived at the platform within the canopy; with a movement, he disappeared, leaving only a space ring. As soon as a green light flashed, the teleportation ring vanished.
When Lin Feng emerged from the Kong Family’s ring, he found himself still within the tree canopy. To avoid drawing attention, he took a random step in a direction and appeared midair a thousand miles away, beginning to scrutinize the so-called Divine Oracle Cultivation Realm.
With his Divine Sense fully activated, everything within a radius of over two thousand miles was fully revealed to him—mountains stacked upon mountains, water flowing everywhere, countless villages nestled within. It’s no exaggeration to say the sheer expanse of this land vastly surpassed Earth, possibly even hundreds of times Earth’s size.
There were also some small and medium-sized sects established within these mountains and rivers, but the cultivators’ strength wasn’t very strong—at least, those he could sense were mostly at least in the Infinitesimal or Divine Change Realm, with Human Immortal Realm experts only appearing within the sects.
After understanding the general situation, Lin Feng contemplated for a moment, altering his facial features to resemble those of the Divine Oracle Cultivation Realm’s inhabitants. He then donned a long robe similar to those of the locals here. After doing all this, he locked his Divine Sense onto what seemed like a large city and disappeared from the spot.
Lin Feng now had many things to do. Firstly, he needed to gather information about this Divine Oracle Cultivation Realm, and the best place to collect information would be a teahouse. Therefore, Lin Feng disguised himself to blend in, not out of fear but to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Wanyue Teahouse!
Seeing the three-story wooden ancient building, a smile appeared on Lin Feng’s face. He stepped into Wanyue Teahouse, and a shop assistant immediately approached him.
"Sir, please come in. May I ask if you are alone or if you have friends waiting here?" The shop assistant asked politely.
"Just myself." Lin Feng replied blandly.
"Which floor would you like to sit on? The first floor is for regular guests, the second floor has musical performances, and the third floor offers views of the street outside through windows. Of course, additional services can also be arranged, but they do come at an extra cost." Noticing Lin Feng’s attire, the shop assistant patiently explained. Though Lin Feng appeared ordinary, his demeanor suggested he was not just anyone, prompting the assistant to give him special attention.
"The third floor, please. Bring some good tea and snacks, I just want to relax for a while." Lin Feng instructed simply and tossed a small piece of gold to the shop assistant, weighing about one or two liangs. Before heading to the teahouse, he had already used his Divine Sense to see this Cultivation Realm’s currency was gold. This revelation left him speechless, as this realm kept the ancient customs akin to those on Earth.
"Sir, please follow me!" The shop assistant, now overjoyed with the gold in hand, was shining with excitement, seeing Lin Feng’s generous gesture. Normally, working to the bone for a month, he could only earn between three to five liang of silver, so encountering such a lavish tip was beyond delightful.
Lin Feng said nothing, promptly following the shop assistant upstairs. Soon, they reached the third floor, where the shop assistant deliberately gave Lin Feng the best room, the Wanyue Paradise Room.
After settling Lin Feng, the shop assistant hurriedly went downstairs to arrange the ordered snacks and tea for Lin Feng. Lin Feng leisurely sat by the window, using his Divine Sense to examine the city.
This city, called Liaocheng, covered an astoundingly large area, spanning hundreds of miles. From its outer to inner layers, the city was methodically divided into commercial and residential areas, government offices, and more. From the city’s layout, it was evident that Liaocheng’s City Lord was no ordinary individual.
Using his Divine Sense to eavesdrop on nearby conversations, Lin Feng learned more about Liaocheng and the Divine Oracle Cultivation Realm. Liaocheng was one of the four major cities in the Divine Oracle Cultivation Realm, and the largest city was the Divine Oracle Imperial City in the center of the continent!
In the Divine Oracle Cultivation Realm, sects were of various types. Leaving aside the small and medium ones, there were dozens of large sects, and three super sects in total. However, it was surprisingly peculiar that all sects were under the control of the Imperial City, a phenomenon unseen in other cultivation realms.
As Lin Feng was busy exploring everything about the Divine Oracle Cultivation Realm, the shop assistant entered with a tea tray in hand, offering a teapot and eight exquisite pastries on the table, then asked, "Sir, is there anything else you need from me?"
For such a generous customer, the shop assistant was exceedingly enthusiastic. Should Lin Feng require anything, the assistant would go to great lengths to satisfy him—not solely for the generous tips but willing to go as far as to call Lin Feng his benefactor.
"Waiter, I want to ask some questions. Can you find someone for that?" Lin Feng pondered briefly before asking.
"What would the sir like to know about?" The waiter, surprised, asked back.
"I’ve just arrived here from the countryside. My family wants me to make something of myself, but I know nothing about Liaocheng. I’d probably have a lot of general questions. If you handle this well, this is yours!" Lin Feng looked at the shop assistant with a faint smile and threw him a piece of gold weighing about ten liangs.
"Sir, please hold on. I will immediately invite Mr. Sima over. He is our jack of all trades; there’s nothing he doesn’t know." Hearing Lin Feng’s explanation, the shop assistant quickly pocketed the gold, nodded to Lin Feng, and briskly walked out.
His heart nearly jumped out of his chest from excitement. He was close to going mad with joy. From Lin Feng’s lavish spending, he discerned that Lin Feng was likely the son of a wealthy country lord, otherwise, such tips would be unimaginable. To earn this gold, he had to fulfill Lin Feng’s requests.
Disregarding other teahouse matters, he raced downstairs, heading out to locate Sima Yunsheng, Liaocheng’s renowned jack of all trades. He quickly found Sima Yunsheng and brought him to the teahouse.
Sima Yunsheng, over a century old, had little interest in cultivation—practicing only to extend his life. Hearing from the waiter about a person, seemingly the son of a wealthy lord, wanting to inquire on various matters felt strange and questionable. To him, if this so-called lord’s son were genuinely such, he wouldn’t be in a teahouse but a restaurant!
With suspicion in mind, Sima Yunsheng entered Lin Feng’s room alongside the shop assistant. After a brief introduction, the waiter left. Lin Feng gestured for Sima Yunsheng to sit opposite him, offering tea.
Looking at the young Lin Feng, an inexplicable alarm arose in Sima Yunsheng’s heart. Uneasy, he sat as Lin Feng instructed and immediately asked, "Sir, what would you like to know?"
Lin Feng, giving Sima Yunsheng a faint smile, suddenly conjured a small flame with one hand, which shot into Sima Yunsheng’s head before he could react. The experience nearly scared Sima Yunsheng to death!
