The Inner Courtyard is located deep within Jialan Academy, amidst a continuous range of mountains, where the Inner Courtyard is built deep in the mountains.

Changhe Branch is situated in a picturesque mountain forest, with some palaces standing majestically on the mountain peaks, exuding an extraordinary aura, resembling celestial palaces.

The next day, Lin Feng arrived at Changhe Branch.

"Are you Junior Brother Lin Feng?"

At the foot of the mountain, a beautiful female student smiled sweetly when she saw Lin Feng.

This female student was around fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as Lin Feng, but she had already grown into a graceful young woman.

"I am Lin Feng. May I ask how to address this Senior Sister?" Lin Feng clasped his fists in greeting.

"Hehe, my name is Gongyang Xiaoxian. You can call me Senior Sister Xiaoxian." The girl said with a smile, revealing two charming dimples.

Lin Feng looked at Gongyang Xiaoxian, who was shorter than him, and found it hard to call her "Senior Sister Xiaoxian." He said, "I think you are even younger than me. Since we are of the same age, I will just call you Xiaoxian."

Gongyang Xiaoxian pouted her tender little mouth and pinched Lin Feng's cheek, saying, "You're asking for it, daring to be so disrespectful to your senior sister."

Lin Feng smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, Senior Sister Xiaoxian, let go of me quickly, someone is watching."

Gongyang Xiaoxian glanced around, stuck out her little tongue, and let go of Lin Feng, saying, "Follow me to see the old man."

"Old man? Who is he?" Lin Feng asked in confusion.

"You'll know when we get there." Gongyang Xiaoxian said with a smile.

This girl was full of youthful energy and laughter, and chatting with her, Lin Feng felt his mood lifted, becoming more cheerful.

Gongyang Xiaoxian led Lin Feng to a palace on the mountainside.

"Old man, I've brought Lin Feng."

"Brat, how dare you be so disrespectful, is this how you talk to your grandfather?" A voice from inside the palace said, half-laughing and half-crying.

Gongyang Xiaoxian stuck out her little tongue and said, "Humph, I've already brought him here, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

With that, she ran off.

Lin Feng rolled his eyes. He felt that Gongyang Xiaoxian might be even younger than him, with a very lively personality.

"Lin Feng, come in."

A voice came from inside the palace.

Lin Feng walked in.

The palace was spacious, and in the middle, an old man was sitting cross-legged. He was the Deputy Dean of Changhe Branch, Gongyang Ming.

"Deputy Dean."

Lin Feng bowed.

"I don't have so many formalities here. Be more relaxed. Come, sit beside me." Gongyang Ming said with a smile, looking very kind.

Lin Feng sat down beside Gongyang Ming.

"I am aware of what happened with Bai Yifei, and I have already warned the Bai family to behave themselves and not to play any tricks. The Bai family agreed on the surface, but they might not be honest behind the scenes. But don't worry, with me watching, the old men of the Bai family won't dare to make a move."

Gongyang Ming said.

"Thank you, Deputy Dean." Lin Feng said gratefully. As long as the old men of the Bai family didn't act, Lin Feng knew that the threat to him would be greatly reduced.

"Ha ha, you are a student I have high hopes for. Here is a bottle of Dali Fulong Pill, with ten pills. They are made from a thousand-year-old medicinal herb as the main ingredient. After taking them, they will greatly benefit your cultivation. Take them."

Gongyang Ming handed a bottle of pills to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was surprised. He had heard of the Dali Fulong Pill, which was extremely rare and highly valued, with one pill costing fifty thousand taels of silver, far beyond what a student from a small family like Lin Feng could afford.

Now, Gongyang Ming had given him ten pills.

Talented disciples indeed received different treatment in the academy. Ordinary disciples wouldn't have such treasures as the Dali Fulong Pill.

Lin Feng put away the Dali Fulong Pill and said solemnly, "I will work hard and not disappoint Deputy Dean's expectations."

"The path of martial arts is extremely arduous. I believe you will achieve great success in the future and bring glory to our Changhe Branch. I will arrange your accommodation shortly. Tomorrow, you can go to the Scripture Hall to choose a martial technique to cultivate. There are twelve low-grade Xuan techniques and one mid-grade Xuan technique in the Scripture Hall. I suggest you start with a low-grade Xuan technique, taking a steady and solid approach."

"Yes, I understand," Lin Feng said.

"Zhang Qichu, come in." Gongyang Ming called out.

A thin disciple walked in.

"Zhang Qichu, this is your junior brother Lin Feng. From now on, Lin Feng will live with you. Take good care of him."

"Yes, Deputy Dean."

Lin Feng bid farewell to Gongyang Ming and left with Zhang Qichu. Zhang Qichu was very thin but had a delicate appearance.

"Junior Brother, I have heard of your great name. You defeated Bai Yifei in the competition, which was very satisfying. However, an elder of Bai Yifei is an elder of Ziguang Academy, holding a high position and great power. The Bai family has significant influence, so you need to be careful."

"Senior Brother, don't worry, I will be careful." Lin Feng nodded.

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at their living quarters.

Zhang Qichu and Lin Feng's living quarters were a small courtyard, and Zhang Qichu arranged a room for Lin Feng.

"Junior Brother, I live next to you. If you need anything, you can come to me. In the next few days, I will show you around and help you get familiar with our Changhe Branch."

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

"We are brothers, no need to be so formal. Junior Brother, take a rest today, I won't disturb you."

Zhang Qichu left.

Lin Feng tidied up his room and then sat cross-legged on the bed, eagerly taking out the Dali Fulong Pill.

"Ten Dali Fulong Pills, I wonder if they can help me break through."

Lin Feng was quite hopeful.

He swallowed the Dali Fulong Pills and then began to circulate his cultivation technique to refine the medicinal power.

After more than ten hours.

Boom!

A terrifying aura emanated from Lin Feng's body.

The aura then subsided.

"Seventh level of the Martial Artist realm, finally broken through..."

Lin Feng threw a punch, which was like a thunderbolt, and he exhaled, forming a sword with his breath.

A punch like a thunderbolt and breath forming a sword are signs of reaching ten thousand pounds of strength.

Breaking through to the seventh level of the Martial Artist realm, Lin Feng's strength reached twelve thousand eight hundred pounds, comparable to that of an eighth-level Martial Artist.
