Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The Opportunity for Breakthrough

Lin Feng recovered from the battle with the demonic beast. Looking at the dead demonic beast, he felt secretly delighted. Although the battle had been thrilling, it had given him a deeper understanding of how to apply his own strength. There might be some treasures on the demonic beast. Despite his fatigue and injuries, Lin Feng started rummaging through the demonic beast's corpse.

After searching for a while, Lin Feng found a faintly glowing spirit crystal in the demonic beast's abdomen. The spirit crystal contained a rich amount of spiritual energy and felt warm in his hand. He was overjoyed. This was a rare cultivation resource and might be of great help in breaking through the bottleneck.

Putting away the spirit crystal, Lin Feng decided to explore the valley further to see if he could find other clues that would help him break through. He continued walking along the valley path. The mist became thicker, obstructing his vision. Lin Feng was cautious, paying attention to the movements around him while sensing the changes in the spiritual energy in the air.

Suddenly, Lin Feng smelled a strange fragrance and followed the source of the smell. In a hidden corner of the valley, he discovered a fairy grass emitting a shimmering light. The fairy grass had a strange appearance. Although Lin Feng didn't recognize it, his intuition told him that it was no ordinary thing. He walked closer, squatted down, and carefully observed the fairy grass. He found that the spiritual energy around it was extremely rich, as if nourishing the fairy grass.

Lin Feng guessed that this fairy grass might be the opportunity for his breakthrough. Just as he was about to pick the fairy grass, a rustling sound came. He stood up alertly and saw a group of small demonic beasts resembling foxes appear. Although these small demonic beasts were small in size, their eyes were smart and cunning, and they were full of hostility towards Lin Feng. Obviously, this fairy grass was what they were guarding.

Lin Feng didn't want to conflict with these small demonic beasts. He tried to communicate with them, indicating that he had no ill intentions and just wanted to use the fairy grass to break through his cultivation bottleneck. However, the small demonic beasts seemed not to understand him and still stared at him menacingly.

After a moment of stalemate, a slightly larger small demonic beast launched an attack first. Its figure was as fast as lightning, pouncing towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng dodged to the side. Unexpectedly, the other small demonic beasts also attacked one after another. Lin Feng had no choice but to defend himself. The small demonic beasts were extremely fast and coordinated well, and for a while, Lin Feng was a bit overwhelmed.

But Lin Feng also noticed that the individual strength of these small demonic beasts was not strong. He seized an opportunity, grabbed one of the small demonic beasts, holding it gently to avoid hurting it. When the other small demonic beasts saw this, they stopped and anxiously looked at their captured companion.

Lin Feng softly soothed the small demonic beast in his hand, trying to convey his good - will. Perhaps feeling that Lin Feng had no ill intentions, the small demonic beast stopped struggling. Lin Feng slowly let go of his hand. After the small demonic beast landed, it didn't attack again but tilted its head and looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng pointed at the fairy grass and then at himself, gesturing to express his need. This time, the small demonic beast seemed to understand Lin Feng's meaning. It turned around and communicated with its companions for a while, and then made way for Lin Feng to reach the fairy grass.

Lin Feng was overjoyed. He cupped his hands and thanked the small demonic beasts, then carefully picked the fairy grass. The moment he got the fairy grass, Lin Feng felt a powerful and gentle spiritual energy surging into his body. He knew that the opportunity for breakthrough had finally come.
