Lin Nan rubbed his temples, nodded, and said, "Yes, I fell off the cliff, and they did it. Their leader is called Shi Yong, ruthless and vicious, with a gang of desperados under him. Tomorrow I officially take over the case, surely more trouble will come, and it will be life-threatening!"
Qin Feng smiled, waved his hand, took out a piece of jade from the Storage Ring, and handed it to Lin Nan saying, "Carry this jade with you. If you encounter any danger, just shout towards it, and I'll come to save you immediately!"
Lin Nan took the jade, smiled, casually put it in his pocket, stretched lazily, and said, "Alright, it's getting late, you should rest early! We'll talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow, let's just have a good sleep tonight!"
"Good night then!"
Qin Feng smiled slightly, got up, and returned to his room.
Lin Xia prepared a bedroom for him as soon as he returned, which was a hundred times more comfortable than his cave. There was just one drawback; the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the surroundings was really scarce.
The first stage of Cultivation, Refining Essence and Qi, as the name suggests, is to refine the Essence Qi in the body into True Qi, requiring a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi combined with Essence Qi to refine within the Dantian.
The key to this step lies in Essence Qi and Spiritual Qi; without enough Essence Qi and Spiritual Qi, your hard cultivation is in vain.
Spiritual Qi exists between heavens and earth, Essence Qi exists in all things, the air we breathe, grains we eat, livestock meat, all contain Essence Qi.
However, it's now the End of the Dharma Era, with a great change in the world. The Spiritual Qi in the air has become so thin that it's negligible, only a bit more in deep forests.
Therefore, cultivators generally hide in dense mountains and forests, never stepping into the world.
Qin Feng sat on the soft bed in the bedroom, feeling no trace of Essence Qi's fluctuation.
Helplessly, he could only give up. He took out Spirit Stone from the Storage Ring and began using his old resources.
Spirit Stone is a type of solid Spiritual Qi naturally formed when Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was abundant, resembling ice cubes, long since completely excavated by generations of cultivators.
The Spirit Stone he had was seized by his master from other cultivators.
The cultivation realm is different from the secular world; there is no justice, just a world of the weak and the strong.
When two cultivators meet, a single disagreement can lead to a fight, and when they fight, it's to kill the opponent.
Due to extreme scarcity of cultivation resources, many cultivators have resorted to murder and treasure looting.
Qin Feng's master didn't provoke others, but others wanted to kill his master and seize treasures, but ended up being obliterated.
That person took by force and theft, leaving tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in the Storage Ring. In the Cultivation Realm, this was already a colossal fortune.
After Qin Feng closed his eyes and ran his Dantian, a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door from outside.
He calmed himself before opening the door, only to see Lin Xia standing outside with a teddy bear in her arms, looking pleadingly, "Brother Qin, can I stay in your room? The second floor is empty, and I'm scared!"
She was dressed in pink camisole pajamas, sparsely covering her thighs.
"Damn, is she here to sleep or for something more?"
Qin Feng's mind wandered, he swallowed quietly, let Lin Xia in, and frowned saying, "Isn't your sister home? Why don't you ask her to accompany you?"
Lin Xia sat on the bed, unwilling, "Don't mention her, she's like my mom since childhood, always nagging, I don't want to stay with her!"
Qin Feng closed the door, sat cross-legged on the ground, and said, "Alright, then, sleep early! I'll continue meditating and cultivating; call me if needed."
Lin Xia lay on the bed, propped her chin up, gazing at Qin Feng, asked, "Brother Qin, apart from cultivation, have you ever thought about anything else?"
Qin Feng chuckled, "Everything is just fleeting, only seeking immortality and the path is what we seek. Is there anything else worth thinking about?"
Lin Xia laughed, "Nonsense, you want to become an immortal, maybe immortals envy mortals! There are more fun things than becoming an immortal, like love, marriage, having children!"
Qin Feng smiled faintly, said no more, closed his eyes, and immediately started meditating. Otherwise, looking at Lin Xia one more time, he might commit an error.
Lin Xia stared with big eyes, looked at Qin Feng for a long time, occasionally letting out a few infatuated laughs, only fell asleep in the late night after tossing and turning.
Qin Hao saw this pretty girl, was afraid to stay with her.
After she fell asleep, he went outside to cultivate alone.
In the next morning, Lin Nan hurriedly washed and dressed, pushed the door open, and prepared to go to work.
This was her first reporting to the criminal police team, she didn't want to be late. For this, she specially changed into a police uniform, which outlined her slender figure with curves, looking very graceful.
"Morning!"
Qin Feng saw her, was a little stunned, quickly greeted her.
Lin Nan was startled, thought someone was ambushing outside the door, after realizing, she said with a sulky face, "You're not sleeping well, trying to scare people early in the morning!"
Qin Feng laughed, "It's too stuffy indoors, just comfortable outside. Is this you going to work?"
Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, delighted, "Yes, see how my police uniform looks?"
She stretched her arms, spun around in front of Qin Feng. Her round chest rhythmically moving up and down, very resilient.
Qin Feng felt a warmth in his nose, hurriedly diverted his gaze saying, "Looks good, you look good in anything!"
Lin Nan giggled joyfully, twisted to the garage, drove an old jeep out, specially reminded, "Take good care of Lin Xia, make sure she goes to school early!"
"Got it, you focus on work!"
Qin Feng foolishly nodded, waved to say goodbye.
At that moment, he finally understood why his master didn't let him come down the mountain. The temptations of the mortal world are too many, indeed beyond his resistance.
However, this also gave him a cultivation goal.
Cultivation is not just Qi Refining, but also Refining Spirit, Refining Heart, ultimately achieving Unity of God and Heart, only then can reach the highest Realm.
He pondered maybe his delay in breaking through the Fusion Realm was due to his weak mind. Living under the same roof with these sisters was just right to temper his mind.
Lin Xia's personality was opposite to Lin Nan since childhood, always indifferent in everything she did.
She slept until noon before getting up, after going out, Qin Feng had already prepared a table full of dishes for her.
"Oh my, bro-in-law, you can cook!"
Lin Xia didn't even wash her hands, grabbed a big shrimp, stuffed it in her mouth, while eating praised with clicking sounds, her small mouth was smeared all over with juice.
Qin Feng smiled, "Don't call me randomly, careful not to make your sister angry. This is my first time cooking, just learned from reading!"
"It's fine, if she doesn't want you, I do!"
Lin Xia giggled, wiped her mouth, hopped upstairs. Her little butt bouncing back and forth, very cute and charming. Qin Feng didn't notice, after she said that, her face was already as red as an apple.
