Chapter 27

Qin Feng woke up three days later.

During this three-day sleep, Qin Feng had a very strange dream, dreaming that he failed to successfully activate his bloodline soul, and was mocked and expelled by all the Qin family disciples.

Qin Feng was不服, wanting to forcibly enter the Qin family, but was faced with cold, indifferent faces.

Of course, Qin Feng was awakened by his own strange dream.

When he woke up, Qin Feng's body suddenly lost its floating balance, and he let out a strange cry, "Ah," and fell into the water in a very undignified manner.

A moment later, a figure "thud" emerged from the water, and upon landing, it reached the shore. Its strength and speed had made a qualitative leap compared to before.

"I didn't die, hahaha!"

Although he didn't know why he didn't die, Qin Feng guessed that it was probably related to the strange illness in his body. This thing had already died once with him and had become much smarter. This time, it probably wouldn't let him die easily.

Now, even Qin Feng didn't know whether the strange illness on his body was a blessing or a curse.

Because this time, it saved his life.

Just as Qin Feng's thoughts were pulled back, he suddenly said, "Eh," and looked at his right hand.

Spreading his right palm and blowing, a clump of black ash scattered with the wind, leaving a black, hard cocoon in front of Qin Feng.

"It's that mysterious leech from earlier!"

Looking at this thing, Qin Feng felt a mix of emotions. He had already guessed the whole story.

The three people earlier must have been chasing this leech; and since this leech had swallowed the blood of the Ancestor Dragon, the three pursuers must have been Qin family members from the Yun Qi Kingdom.

Although he didn't know how the leech managed to steal the blood of the Ancestor Dragon and escape, none of that mattered now, because the result was that it benefited him. Qin Feng's current physical sensation was simply amazing.

His cultivation had already broken through the bottleneck and reached the tenth stage of the Mortal Qi Realm.

As for the leech... Qin Feng raised his right hand, about to throw it into the lake, but just as he was about to let go, he stopped.

"Better to keep it for now."

After some thought, Qin Feng decided to temporarily keep the hard cocoon formed by the leech. To ensure safety, he wrapped a small circle of Nine Devouring Fire around the cocoon before putting it into his storage ring.

After doing all this, Qin Feng quickly found his clothes by the lake and put them on. But when he put on the clothes, he was greatly surprised!

Because his clothes had actually become smaller!

The shirt had become a tank top, and the pants had become three-quarter pants!

"Damn, what's going on?"

Wearing clothes that were three sizes too small, he looked at his reflection in the Mirror Water Lake and stood there in shock.

The figure in the water was at least eight feet tall, whereas he had previously been only seven feet tall.

His entire body was very well-built, without any excess fat. He wasn't as broad-shouldered and muscular as a tiger, but he was certainly strong and powerful, far surpassing his previous sickly appearance. Most importantly, his appearance had changed slightly. Specifically, his features were more defined, his jawline more pronounced, and he had a bit less of a delicate look and more of a rugged one. His hair was no longer grayish-black but a healthy black, which flowed gracefully in the wind. Although he wasn't handsome, his appearance was definitely memorable.

All of this was thanks to the strange illness, because it had activated the cell rejuvenation ability, preventing him from turning into a monster. Otherwise, after that stretching and expansion...

Thinking about this, Qin Feng shuddered, but then—

"The current appearance is truly that of a man!"

Qin Feng admired himself for a long time, finally exclaiming with much reflection.

Just then, a few toads in the lake croaked, instantly breaking the beautiful atmosphere.

Qin Feng rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, Qin Feng wasn't a narcissist; he just needed to know what he looked like.

Looking up at the sky, Qin Feng frowned.

"I wonder how many days I've been unconscious. What time is it now?"

Since the sun had not yet risen, the sky was just beginning to lighten, so Qin Feng guessed it was still early morning. He hoped he hadn't missed the Soul Activation Day, or he would have missed out on a great opportunity.

...

Outside the main gate of the Qin family.

At this moment, everyone was ready to go!

Today was the Soul Activation Day of the Qin family in the Yun Qi Kingdom. On this day, all Qin family disciples who had turned eighteen would be sent from all over the country to the origin of the Qin family in Tianfeng City to participate in this annual important festival at the ancestral home.

The Soul Activation Day was extremely important for every Qin family disciple!

Because on this day, they would enter the Ancestor Dragon Blood Pool to activate their bloodline soul.

Without a bloodline soul, they could not continue to cultivate, and the quality of the bloodline soul they activated would determine their future destiny.

Therefore, everyone was eagerly awaiting the event, with a hint of nervousness in their expressions.

"Old He, have you found Feng'er?"

"Reporting to Master, we haven't found him yet..."

Old He replied helplessly, but the dark circles under his eyes and the hint of anxiety in his gaze showed that he had been very worried and exhausted over the past few days searching for Qin Feng.

Qin Tianzheng, standing in front of the crowd, looked even more grim.

His most valued grandson had actually gone missing at such a critical moment?

Since yesterday, Qin Tianzheng had dispatched many people to search for Qin Feng, but to no avail. No one had seen where Qin Feng had gone, and no one knew where the boy had hidden. For several days, there had been no sign of him.

The sun was about to rise, and if they didn't leave soon, they would be delayed.

"This brat is really a troublemaker."

The clouds in the sky were gradually dispersing, and the sun was slowly rising.

Qin Tianzheng looked at the Qin family disciples who were ready to go, sighed, and said, "Let's go!"

"Master, are we not waiting for Young Master Feng?"

"Forget it, you stay here and wait for him. If he returns, have him ride my Black Cloud Leopard and catch up to us in the direction of Tianfeng City. With the speed of the Black Cloud Leopard, he should be able to catch up within half a day."

"Yes, Master!"

Old He's tone was somewhat helpless as he looked into the distance, thinking to himself, "Young Master Feng, where have you gone? You even forgot about the Soul Activation Day. I hope you can return in time."

Just then, Old He's eyes, which had been staring into the distance, suddenly widened, and his face turned red with excitement. He raised his hand and pointed to a black dot in the distance, shouting, "Master, look, is that Young Master Feng returning..."

Qin Tianzheng followed Old He's gaze and saw the same thing. Like Old He, his eyes widened in disbelief.

In the distance, a figure was leaping rapidly. Due to the high speed, the figure would disappear and reappear, each time closing the distance by a hundred feet.

"Such strong physical strength, but is this person Feng'er?"

Qin Tianzheng's eyesight was good, but the person approaching, while having a face that was about 70% similar to Feng'er, was clearly not Qin Feng due to the tall, muscular build and flowing black hair.

The figure approached quickly, and the sound of "Wait for me" grew louder, drawing the attention of everyone present.

As everyone's gaze turned to the source of the sound, the figure, which had been a hundred feet away, suddenly disappeared and then reappeared as a tall, muscular figure, landing with a "thud" in front of the Qin family disciples. The powerful landing shook the ground, causing dust to fly and a large pit to form in the rocky road.

"This strength is too overwhelming!"

It was clear that this person had gathered all his strength in his legs to travel quickly, but the effect of this strength was truly astonishing.

As the dust settled, everyone could finally see the person in the pit.

"Who is this? He looks a bit like Qin Feng, but that powerful and imposing build..."

The crowd murmured, continuously examining the mysterious visitor.

Qin Feng, however, raised his head and, under the surprised gazes of the Qin family disciples, walked out of the pit and approached Qin Tianzheng, bowing and saying, "Grandson Qin Feng is late, please punish me, Grandfather!"

It was really Qin Feng!

Even Qin Tianzheng was momentarily stunned.

Because Qin Feng, who had originally been only seven feet tall, was now a tall and imposing eight-foot man. Not only that, his rugged and determined face had completely changed from his previous weak and sickly appearance. This was the kind of robust and heroic look that a Qin family disciple should have.

"Good, Feng'er, your body and appearance...?"

Qin Tianzheng was delighted but driven by curiosity, he still asked a question. In fact, not only Qin Tianzheng, but also Old He and the other Qin family disciples were curious.

Qin Feng knew that his changed appearance would cause a stir in the Qin family, but he wasn't foolish and wouldn't reveal all the secrets of his body to everyone. So, he had already thought of a response on the way. He smiled and explained, "I've been cultivating in the Tranquil Water Lake for the past few days. I accidentally ate a red Zhu fruit growing at the bottom of the lake. When I woke up, my body and appearance had changed like this. Not only that, my cultivation has also broken through to the tenth stage of the Mortal Qi Realm!"

"Red Zhu fruit? Is it some kind of rare treasure? What? Tenth stage of the Mortal Qi Realm? Is that true?"

Qin Tianzheng asked a series of questions, and in the end, his face turned red with excitement, and his speech became incoherent.

"Absolutely true!"

Meeting Qin Tianzheng's expectant gaze, Qin Feng nodded firmly!

Getting a positive answer, Qin Tianzheng burst into laughter, "Feng'er, you have great fortune. It seems that heaven is protecting our Qin family!"

Qin Tianzheng was in a good mood. After all, Qin Feng was one of the most valued Qin family disciples. The fact that his grandson had advanced to the tenth stage of the Mortal Qi Realm before the Soul Activation Day was a pleasant surprise beyond his expectations. It seemed that this child, like his father, would become a true dragon soaring in the sky.

Qin Tianzheng, at the tenth stage of the Human Qi Realm, did not suppress his cultivation, so his laughter echoed through the sky.

The Qin family disciples were also deeply moved and followed, shouting in unison, "Heaven protect the Qin family, may it flourish for ten thousand generations!"

"Good, let's go!"

Qin Tianzheng gave the order and solemnly took out a green, glowing talisman from his chest, attaching it to the head of the giant stone qilin outside the main gate of the Qin family.

The next moment, the talisman glowed brightly, and from the point of contact with the stone qilin's head, countless green veins instantly spread throughout the qilin's body. To the amazement of the crowd, the stone qilin's head began to move and opened its mouth to roar.

"Ao—"

Following this, the stone qilin's body began to shed large pieces of stone, revealing flesh and blood, and rapidly growing in size.

The crowd was startled and quickly moved back to make room for the qilin.

The qilin continued to grow until it reached about six to seven zhang in length, then stopped.

Qin Tianzheng leaped onto the qilin's head, raised his arms, and called out, "Qin family disciples, follow me to Tianfeng City to activate our bloodline souls and bring glory to our family!"

"Bring glory to our family!"

The Qin family disciples, their hearts surging with excitement and ambition, orderly jumped onto the qilin's back and sat down.

"Feng'er, come!"

Qin Tianzheng called out to Qin Feng, who was standing alone on the ground.

Qin Feng nodded, leaped forward, and landed on the qilin's head, standing shoulder to shoulder with Qin Tianzheng.

"Go!"

The qilin, upon receiving the order, immediately flapped its giant wings, leaped into the air, and soared into the sky.

As the Qin family on the ground grew smaller and smaller, Qin Feng turned his gaze toward Tianfeng City, clenched his right fist, and silently said, "Tianfeng City, I, Qin Feng, am coming!"
