"System has been running for a full month, the lottery system is officially launched!"

Upon hearing the system prompt, Lin Feng was initially stunned, then he felt an urge to burst into tears.

He had almost forgotten about the lottery system, and the beginner's package even included one lottery chance.

Lin Feng turned to glance at the old peach tree at the village entrance. The villagers of Shizhu Village were gradually returning. Looking at the little one in the crowd, Lin Feng silently prayed, "Dear apprentice, since you are a true hero, you shouldn't be so easily defeated, right? Hang in there, your master will come back to save you soon."

First, he moved away from the old peach tree, then Lin Feng eagerly checked the lottery system.

Entering the lottery system, three images appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

A dice, a roulette wheel, and another one that was hazy and indistinct, like a cloud of mist.

Lin Feng tried to select the hazy cloud of mist, but it was unselectable, possibly because the system had not yet been activated.

The roulette wheel and the dice were two different lottery methods. The roulette wheel was similar to the slot machines or big wheels from Lin Feng's previous life, with a circle of different patterns representing various items. Lin Feng could spin the wheel, and whatever it landed on would be his prize.

Lin Feng looked at the roulette wheel, which had a total of eighteen slots, sixteen of which contained items, and two were empty.

The sixteen items included three Daoist scriptures, three elixirs, three magical artifacts, three talismans, three supernatural abilities, and a mysterious box with a question mark.

The three Daoist scriptures in the roulette wheel were not as advanced as the Nine Heavens Thunder Righteousness, and thus held no appeal for Lin Feng.

The elixirs were also ordinary, and there was no way they could instantly boost Lin Feng's cultivation to the point where he could fight against a Foundation Establishment enemy.

The magical artifacts, talismans, and supernatural abilities... After a thorough inspection, none of them could help Lin Feng deal with the old peach tree.

Lin Feng exited the roulette wheel lottery system and entered the dice lottery system.

Three dice were quietly placed on a light disk, surrounded by a circle of patterns, each marked with a number from one to eighteen.

There were sixteen patterns in total, with numbers twelve and fourteen being blank.

Lin Feng understood that he was supposed to roll the dice, and the sum of the numbers on the three dice would determine his prize.

If the sum was twelve or fourteen, he would leave empty-handed.

Like the roulette wheel system, the dice system also had sixteen items, including three Daoist scriptures, three elixirs, three magical artifacts, three talismans, three supernatural abilities, and a mysterious box with a question mark.

Each lottery chance would generate the sixteen items randomly, and the roulette wheel system and the dice system were relatively independent.

Lin Feng stared at the items in the dice system, and when he saw the magical artifact Wulei Piantian Cone corresponding to number thirteen, his eyes immediately lit up.

This Wulei Piantian Cone was actually a Foundation Establishment magical artifact.

In the Tianyuan Great World, only Great Cultivators with a Spirit Core could refine magical treasures. Cultivators below the Spirit Core level could only refine magical artifacts, which were divided into Spirit Child, Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, and Qi Condensation levels based on the refiner's cultivation.

The three magical artifacts that had appeared in the roulette wheel system and the other two in the dice system were all Qi Condensation level.

For Lin Feng, who was currently at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, they were certainly useful, but relying on them to fight against a Foundation Establishment old peach tree was a pipe dream.

The Wulei Piantian Cone, a Foundation Establishment magical artifact, was different. For a Qi Condensation cultivator, it was almost a divine artifact, giving Lin Feng a fighting chance against the old peach tree.

The mysterious box with a question mark was likely a special prize, containing an unknown item, but it could also be a trap.

Lin Feng took a few deep breaths and muttered to himself, "Wulei Piantian Cone, Wulei Piantian Cone... thirteen, thirteen!"

After gathering his energy, Lin Feng decided to start the lottery.

"Go!"

The three dice spun rapidly on the light disk, and soon one of them stopped, showing a large six.

Lin Feng nervously watched the other two dice, inwardly cursing the system for not stopping all three dice at once, deliberately building suspense.

The second dice also stopped quickly.

Five.

Lin Feng's heart relaxed slightly, then tightened again.

The first two dice showed six and five, totaling eleven. This meant that Lin Feng had a chance to draw the Wulei Piantian Cone, which corresponded to thirteen.

However, he could also draw the blanks corresponding to twelve and fourteen.

"Two! Two! Two!"

Lin Feng felt like he was going crazy, holding his breath and staring intently at the last dice.

With his full concentration, Lin Feng felt the dice's movement slow down.

The dice's momentum gradually decreased, and it showed signs of stopping.

Lin Feng's face turned red as he watched the dice land on the light disk, showing a "six" on the top.

"No, move, just a little more!" Lin Feng shouted in his mind.

Six plus five plus six, seventeen, corresponding to a bottle of the most ordinary Qi Condensation Pill, which was useless to Lin Feng at his current level.

As if hearing Lin Feng's thoughts, the dice indeed moved one more time.

"Two," the top face was the "two" that Lin Feng had hoped for.

Lin Feng's face showed a smile, but it quickly froze.

Under his watchful eyes, the dice still hadn't settled and rolled slightly, revealing a bright red "one"!

Six plus five... plus one, twelve...

Damn!

Twelve, nothing...

Just as Lin Feng's mood plummeted from the heights, the dice wobbled and flipped one last time, changing from one to four.

This time, it was final. The third dice showed a four.

Lin Feng blinked and looked at the item corresponding to number fifteen.

A mysterious box with a question mark was quietly placed there.

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, then opened the mysterious box. A pale golden long sword with a sheath appeared in his view. Although the sword was still in the sheath, Lin Feng could clearly feel the terrifying power it contained.

The Northern Pole Celestial Magnetic Sword, a Foundation Establishment magical artifact.

It was paired with the Southern Pole Earth Magnetic Sword, and when combined, they formed the Golden Core level Two Poles Celestial Magnetic Dao Sword.

Lin Feng stared at the Northern Pole Celestial Magnetic Sword for a long time, then let out a long breath, feeling a sense of exhaustion.

Among the Foundation Establishment magical artifacts, the Northern Pole Celestial Magnetic Sword was even more powerful than the Wulei Piantian Cone.

Exiting the system, Lin Feng's consciousness returned to his body. Looking at the long sword in his hand, which emitted a faint thunder and magnetic force, Lin Feng smiled and drew the sword. With a casual flick, a brilliant thunderbolt shot out, collapsing a distant rock.

"The first lottery, not bad luck after all," Lin Feng put away the Northern Pole Celestial Magnetic Sword, his joy gradually subsiding as he began to think rationally, "Although I have a Foundation Establishment magical artifact, my cultivation is only at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, so I can't fully utilize its power."

Lin Feng began to consider his current resources.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Induction was powerful, but its usage conditions were too strict, suitable for ambushes rather than direct combat. It also consumed ten thunder crystals per use, and Lin Feng didn't have enough points to exchange for more crystals.

The Northern Pole Celestial Magnetic Sword was formidable, but Lin Feng's current cultivation couldn't unleash its full power.

The old peach tree was likely a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator. With a magical artifact that Lin Feng could only partially utilize, he could only say he had a fighting chance. In a real battle, he would likely still be no match for the old peach tree.

Unfortunately, time was limited, and no one knew when the old peach tree would strike again. She was guarding the entrance to Shizhu Village, posing a significant threat to the little one and others. Unfortunately, no one except Lin Feng realized the danger.

Most people even regarded the old peach tree as the village's guardian. If Lin Feng went to warn them, he would be met with hostility.

"Those two Yu family cultivators are wandering in the deep mountains, searching for the little one. They probably have companions and superiors, and among them might be Foundation Establishment experts," Lin Feng thought, "If I can lure the Yu family experts here to fight the old peach tree to a stalemate, the situation might change."

"But I don't know when I can find them, and time might not be on my side."

Just as Lin Feng was thinking, he sensed a strong magical power fluctuation coming from a distance, and someone was approaching at high speed.

He could faintly hear voices.

"Junior Sister, you should have decided long ago to break off the engagement with the Xiao family."

"It's not too late now."

Before the words were finished, three white-robed figures, each carrying a long sword, appeared before Lin Feng.

Among them was an old man in a moon-white robe, smiling brightly with a lively demeanor. His small eyes occasionally flashed with a sharp light.

Despite his seemingly ordinary appearance, the old man emitted a powerful magical power fluctuation, characteristic of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Lin Feng, who had not yet had the chance to pay attention to the first true Foundation Establishment cultivator he had encountered in this world, was now completely focused on the young woman beside the old man.

Lin Feng's face showed a warm, sunny smile, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Break off the engagement? If I heard correctly, they were just discussing the legendary breaking off of an engagement?"
