1116 Daoist Prodigy

“The Intrinsic Daoist Physique.”

Many elders seemed to be lost in their memories.

“Elder, what is the Intrinsic Daoist Physique?” Even Mu Jingjing asked humbly.

The Imparting Elder glanced at Mu Jingjing and Lin Feng, then said in a low voice, “The Intrinsic Daoist Physique is almost a myth. The so-called Intrinsic Daoist Physique is incomparably compatible with cultivation, and is favored by the heavenly principle. They encounter almost no bottlenecks in cultivation. Such is the case for Lin Feng. The world spiritual aura was eager to surge into Lin Feng’s body. No matter what spell he cultivates, he can grasp it with just one look, and the power of the spell would be extraordinary.”

“Lin Feng, do you feel like you’re immersed in flames when you sleep?”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“Have you felt an affinity for fire since you were young?”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

“Is it almost effortless for you to cultivate the Aura Cultivation Chapter?”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

No matter what the other party said, Lin Feng nodded. However, he was rather speechless inwardly. Intrinsic Daoist Physique? Were these elders blind? He clearly only had ordinary aptitude.

However, if they really wanted to label him with an Intrinsic Daoist Physique, it would also be a halo. It would be the halo of a top genius. No matter what shocking deed he accomplished in the future, no one would suspect him.

This was because geniuses were miracles to begin with!

The Imparting Elder grabbed Lin Feng’s hands excitedly and said, “Do you see this? This is the Intrinsic Daoist Physique! No one with an Intrinsic Daoist Physique has appeared in all of the orthodox factions for a thousand years. Once the Intrinsic Daoist Physique appears in any faction, they will be conferred the title of Daoist Prodigy!

“Although Sect Master isn’t around, before Sect Master entered seclusion, he had already entrusted the major matters of the sect to us elders. It’s a great fortune that a disciple with an Intrinsic Daoist Physique has appeared in the Fire Cloud Sect. I suggest that Lin Feng be conferred the title of Daoist Prodigy immediately. What do you think?”

The Imparting Elder’s words made the many elders exchange looks with each other.

The Daoist Prodigy. How could they know anything about the Daoist Prodigy? Only in some ancient texts could a few lines on the matter be found.

However, the Fire Cloud Sect had already declined to such a state. Forget about conferring the title of Daoist Prodigy, even promoting Lin Feng to an elder immediately was not a big deal.

“I think it’s feasible.”

“That’s right. The appearance of a Daoist Prodigy in our Fire Cloud Sect means that we are favored by the heavens. This means that our Fire Cloud Sect may be about to prosper.”

“Haha, with the descent of a Daoist Prodigy, how can our Fire Cloud Sect not prosper?”

Hence, the title of “Daoist Prodigy” was given to Lin Feng. As for the conferment ceremony, the elders all said that it was just superficial, and not worth mentioning.

However, why did Lin Feng feel that this title of “Daoist Prodigy” was really a little hasty?

Led by the elders, after Lin Feng respectfully paid respects to the Ancestral Master of the Fire Cloud Sect, he officially became the Daoist Prodigy of the Fire Cloud Sect. In terms of benefits, there were also many.

Firstly, all kinds of cultivation resources were prioritized for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng could browse through any spells and cultivation techniques in the Secret Technique Library at will.

The status of a Daoist Prodigy was above that of an elder, only second to the Sect Master. He was the most distinguished person in the Fire Cloud Sect. In particular, Lin Feng, the Daoist Prodigy, had appeared when the Fire Cloud Sect was at its weakest, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the sect.

Lin Feng stayed in front of the group of old fogeys for most of the day, and was long tired of them. After being conferred the title of Daoist Prodigy, he bade farewell and left. He went to his new residence, an abode at the peak of the mountain.

The abode at the peak of the mountain was extremely rich in world spiritual aura. Normally, only elders were qualified to choose an abode among them. However, as the Daoist Prodigy, Lin Feng naturally had special privileges.

“Oh, although there are some twists and turns, becoming a Daoist Prodigy is already a very good outcome. It will be much more convenient for me to get things done in the future. Now that I’m the Daoist Prodigy, I can obtain the Foundation Establishment technique in the Secret Technique Library. Is it time for me to attempt Foundation Establishment?”

Lin Feng promptly acted upon his idea. He was in the Fire Cloud Sect to obtain cultivation techniques. Now that he had become a Daoist Prodigy, with such privileges, how could he not use them?

Hence, Lin Feng went to the Secret Technique Library again.

This time, Lin Feng came with the halo of a Daoist Prodigy. Even Elder Yun Zhou’s eyes were about to pop out. He never expected that the disciple in the Secret Technique Library, whom he had viewed as an arrogant brat, would suddenly become the Daoist Prodigy of the Fire Cloud Sect.

Even though he was very shocked, Elder Yun Zhou still appeared very calm on the surface. He helped Lin Feng to browse through some Foundation Establishment techniques, which could also be considered an eye-opener for Lin Feng.

However, Elder Yun Zhou might never have imagined that Lin Feng could actually begin foundation establishment now.

After returning to his residence, Lin Feng thought for a moment. Since he wanted to establish his foundation, he should head to the Fire Cloud Cave.

This was the only sanctuary for cultivation in the Fire Cloud Sect now. Cultivating in the Fire Cloud Cave could increase one’s perception of fire-type spiritual aura, and it was incomparably compatible with the cultivation techniques of the Fire Cloud Sect.

However, only Foundation Establishment elders could cultivate in the Fire Cloud Cave. As the Daoist Prodigy, Lin Feng naturally had the privilege to enter the Fire Cloud Cave in advance.

“This is the Fire Cloud Cave?”

The moment Lin Feng stepped into the Fire Cloud Cave, he immediately felt a scorching aura, like erupting magma. Ordinary disciples probably would not be able to hold out for more than an hour.

No wonder only Foundation Establishment elders could enter. Ordinary disciples could not cultivate for long inside.

However, this environment was indeed very beneficial to cultivating fire-type cultivation techniques.

Lin Feng began to recall the Foundation Establishment cultivation techniques he had browsed through in the Secret Technique Library.

Foundation Establishment was actually about reconstructing the foundation. It was equivalent to reconstructing a person. A person’s aptitude would be completely different after Foundation Establishment. Hence, Foundation Establishment often required external aids.

It could use some precious treasures, such as natural materials and resources.

However, Lin Feng knew that in any cultivation system, the true foundation lay in oneself. External factors were ultimately external factors. One could rely on external factors for Foundation Establishment, but that was not the best path.

This was also why Lin Feng did not think of ways to plunder some natural treasures of the Fire Cloud Sect.

“I remember a Foundation Establishment technique mentioning that in ancient times, Foundation Establishment did not require external aids at all. For example, the two current Nascent Soul Immortals did not seem to have relied on external aids when establishing their foundation.”

Foundation Establishment without relying on external items was actually also possible, but that required an extremely deep foundation. Moreover, the Fire Cloud Sect did not have a Foundation Establishment technique that did not require external items.

However, Lin Feng was not an ordinary cultivator. He was a Hallowed Lord, and his realm was comparable to a Nascent Soul Immortal. The Nascent Soul Immortals here were no different from the Chaos. They were all equivalent to incarnations of the will of the heavenly principle, and were themselves a part of the rules.

However, this world was too weak. It was not even one-tenth, or even one percent of the Chaos. Hence, in a real battle, a Nascent Soul Immortal would definitely be far inferior to a Chaotic Hallowed Venerable.

However, their realms were actually the same.

From a strategic perspective, Lin Feng also had some unique insights into the cultivation system of this world. Since there were no techniques that did not require external aids to establish the foundation, then, there was no need for these techniques.

In ancient times, when one’s foundation reached a certain level, they could naturally establish their foundation.

So, if Lin Feng imitated those in the ancient times, didn’t he need a strong foundation? Thus, he would use his mental power to sweep up all the spiritual aura in the Fire Cloud Cave, practically forming a terrifying vortex that surged into his body in a frenzy.

The so-called powerful foundation was actually just the amount of true aura. His true aura was insufficient now, so he would increase his true aura until he reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

This was Lin Feng’s most direct, simple, and even crude method.
