Chapter 1243 - 1240: Matters of the Heart, Qi Concealment Jue!

"Tsk tsk, it seems you’ve become quite the hot commodity now. If we just walk over there, I wonder if you’ll make it into the City Lord Mansion alive."

Watching the sea of people, Jiang Fengfeng glanced sideways at Luo Feng, a mischievous smile in her bright eyes.

Luo Feng gave a bitter smile; the way things developed was beyond his expectations.

"Let’s go, we’ll enter through the side gate."

Avoiding the square, the two of them went to the secluded side gate.

"Eh, Young Master Luo Feng?"

Hearing footsteps, the six guards at the side gate immediately looked over. Seeing Luo Feng, their eyes lit up. One was about to shout, but Luo Feng stopped him with a look.

Understanding, they immediately fell silent. One guard couldn’t help but ask quietly, "Young Master Luo Feng, did you really become the first new dragon?"

Hearing this, the others also looked at Luo Feng.

Although they knew Luo Feng was exceptionally gifted, a rare genius, the first new dragon was the top expert in the Golden Palace of the Six Southern Domains, a legendary figure!

Before last night, no one had connected the two.

"Yes."

Luo Feng nodded.

"Congratulations, young master."

The six took a deep breath, and their gaze towards Luo Feng subtly changed, filled with awe.

The first new dragon! This kind of legendary figure was their very own young master, making them feel a spontaneous pride.

Luo Feng asked, "Are my father and mother at home?"

"The family head and the others are all here. And the eldest young master has returned as well. Knowing the young master is back, the family head will surely be very happy. I’ll go report it right away."

One person quickly agreed, turned and hurried inside the mansion.

Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng also went inside.

They hadn’t gone far when a rush of footsteps approached.

A group of people came towards them, led by Luo Feng’s father Luo Tian and mother Yang Qing. The tall young man beside them was his big brother Luo Xiao.

"Father, Mother, Big Brother." Luo Feng stepped forward and bowed.

"Feng Er."

Seeing Luo Feng, Yang Qing was full of excitement. She approached to help him up, carefully looking him over from head to toe, asking, "Feng Er, I heard the new dragon list competition was very brutal, were you injured?"

Luo Feng felt a bit embarrassed, "Mother, I’m fine."

"As long as you’re okay."

Yang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed Jiang Fengfeng, her eyes lighting up slightly. "Feng Er, who is this?"

"She is..."

Just as Luo Feng was wondering how to introduce Jiang Fengfeng, Jiang Fengfeng stepped forward, cupped her hands and said, "I am Luo Feng’s friend, Inner Sect Disciple of the Jade Hall, Jiang Fengfeng. You all can call me Fengfeng."

"Jiang Fengfeng... what a nice name."

Yang Qing looked at Luo Feng and Jiang Fengfeng, beaming, then glanced at Luo Feng, quietly transmitting a message, "Feng Er, I don’t mind your dalliances outside, but you better not let them down."

Luo Feng was slightly stunned, then gave a wry smile. His mother had clearly misunderstood the relationship between him and Jiang Fengfeng, and apparently, had already pegged him as a romantic rogue.

But there was no way to explain this matter.

"Second brother, you are amazing! Dominating the competition and becoming the first new dragon! This is the talk of the entire Flowing Cloud Region. For centuries, nothing this sensational has happened here. Before you, the biggest accomplishment was Lu Xiao Yun breaking into the top three of the new dragon."

Luo Xiao stepped forward to embrace Luo Feng, his expression excited.

Luo Tian also said, "Feng Er, I heard you defeated Jian Wuji at the new dragon list competition and have reached the second stage of the True Yuan Realm, is this true?"

Luo Feng said, "I just broke through to the third stage of the True Yuan Realm a few days ago."

"Third stage of the True Yuan Realm!"

Luo Tian instinctively exclaimed, and Luo Xiao and the others were also shocked, momentarily stunned.

They thought Luo Feng breaking through to the second stage was already a miracle, but the truth exceeded their expectations; he was already a third-stage martial artist.

After a brief silence came overwhelming joy. Luo Tian patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, laughing heartily, "Our Panlong City has never produced a True Yuan Realm expert. Feng Er, you are the pride of our Luo Family. I’m proud of you as a father!"

Luo Xiao also happily said, "Second brother, you’ll surely surpass those sacred place geniuses in the future!"

Hearing this, Jiang Fengfeng felt a bit indignant.

The Sword Tomb could also be considered sacred ground, and Luo Xiao’s words were essentially saying she wasn’t as good as Luo Feng, which was obviously not the case. She had to hold back not to speak up.

Yang Qing gently nudged Luo Tian, "I know you’re happy, but Feng Er and the others just returned from a long journey. Let them rest first, you can talk over dinner."

Luo Tian nodded, smiling, "You all go rest for now. I’ll have someone prepare the banquet. I’ll notify you when it’s ready."

"Then I’ll take my leave."

Jiang Fengfeng left with Yang Qing, and just as Luo Feng was about to leave, Luo Tian called out to him.

"Feng Er, the Marquis’s Mansion’s daughter, and the Red Leaf Territory’s lord... several influential families’ daughters have come to Panlong City, hoping to meet you. They are from noble families, many of whom have outstanding talent and beauty. Would you like to meet them?"

Luo Feng hadn’t expected this, and directly shook his head, "Father, no need. For now, before my strength is sufficient, I don’t want to consider romantic affairs."

Luo Tian glanced at Luo Feng and nodded, "Alright, I’ll handle these matters properly. You don’t have to be distracted by them. Go rest."

"Thank you, father."

Luo Feng turned and walked towards his courtyard.

Luo Xiao watched Luo Feng’s back and said, "Father, why do I feel second brother has something on his mind."

Luo Tian was silent. Although Luo Feng hadn’t mentioned Bing Ruolan, as a father, he could naturally sense some clues.

"If he doesn’t speak, he must have his reasons. We shouldn’t press him. This small Panlong City can no longer contain your second brother. What we can do is ensure he has no worries in the future."

"Hmm."

...

Returning to his courtyard, Luo Feng took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and was about to cultivate when he suddenly remembered the Blood Crow Elder’s storage ring.

"The Blood Crow Elder, being a martial artist in the True Yuan Realm, I wonder how wealthy he was."

The thought flashed through his mind as Luo Feng took out the storage ring.

Soul power seeped into the storage ring, and the space inside, about the size of a room, was filled with various items.

Luo Feng briefly surveyed the contents of the storage ring. It contained four to five thousand third-grade Yuan Stones, with wealth totaling nearly ten million second-grade Yuan Stones, and besides this, there were many high-grade demon cores, weapons, and equipment.

For Luo Feng, this wealth was undoubtedly a timely assistance.

Cultivating the Demon Form Technique required the Demon Cloud Fruit for auxiliary cultivation, and for the Demon Spirit Grass to produce a Demon Cloud Fruit, a large number of demon cores were needed to transform into Demon Qi.

Recently, to cultivate the Demon Spirit Grass and train, Luo Feng spent money like water. This wealth could support him for a long time.

In addition, Luo Feng found many secret manuals, mainly Profound Level martial arts cultivation technique manuals, including a set each of Earth Level lower-grade palm technique and Earth Level lower-grade cultivation technique, and even a set of Earth Level lower-grade secret technique.

Luo Feng opened the secret technique manual to look.

"Earth Level lower-grade secret technique, Qi Concealment Jue, can hide one’s cultivation, aura, and True Yuan fluctuations..."
