Chapter 404: Chapter 216: Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell—He Is Jiang Feng (2)

The days are finally not as torturous as before.

"Yes!"

Liu Chen looked distressed, angrily gazing at the exit, pondering how to vent this frustration once Jiang Feng emerges.

Ten days later.

Jiang Feng’s spirit and spiritual power finally returned to a full state.

He didn’t expect that a month of refinement would be so taxing, requiring ten full days of absorbing spiritual qi before feeling his bodily strength returning to its peak.

These ten days, he did not refine the Dragon Bone Bow.

He had grown accustomed to hunger, even forgotten what hunger felt like.

To prevent the recurrence of past situations, Jiang Feng decided to change his strategy, opting to refine the Dragon Bone Bow for half a day and rest for the other half.

Quickly, another month passed.

Since he entered the Divine Sect Mansion, it had been over two and a half months, driven by fear of dying at the Saintess’s hands, coupled with endless time, Jiang Feng had not only forgotten hunger but also learned to endure solitude.

He had stayed in a cave in White Tiger Mountain for over a hundred days before, but then he didn’t lose his freedom; if he felt bored, he could always visit Dragon Capital.

At that time, only the body was subjected to solitude, while the mind could be liberated.

Now trapped in the Divine Sect Mansion, as if confined, both body and spirit faced restrictions.

But fortunately, Jiang Feng slowly understood and accepted this state.

As a Longevity Practitioner, Jiang Feng realized that in the endless river of time, he would be a solitary traveler, and in the days to come, perhaps even lonelier than now.

He must learn to endure solitude, even come to like it, keeping his heart tranquil and undisturbed.

Soon, another month and a half passed.

It had been over four months since Jiang Feng entered the Divine Sect Mansion.

Jiang Feng grew a beard.

A layer of dust accumulated on him.

The Dragon Bone Bow lay on his lap.

Jiang Feng refined for half a day and rested for half a day.

The weight of the Dragon Bone Bow had changed from over ten thousand pounds in his hands to less than eight thousand pounds; at this rate, it might take another sixteen months to fully refine it.

More than four months.

Jiang Feng made the Divine Sect Mansion his home.

Although his activities were limited to the small area beneath the statue’s feet, it was much larger than the cave in White Tiger Mountain.

In short, Jiang Feng had adapted to life here.

Since he needed to spend half a day every day refining the Dragon Bone Bow and half a day recuperating, his state grew increasingly calm.

As if he became the third statue, blending into the world within the mansion.

"Damn."

"Come out!"

Outside the mansion, Liu Chen couldn’t bear it anymore, using a purple small sword to strike the restriction array at the entrance, both he and the Saintess couldn’t use the Three-legged Body Technique.

Over four months, even the Saintess, whose spiritual sense was set free, felt irritated, not expecting Jiang Feng could hide for so long.

Due to this, she changed her strategy, sending Liu Chen to Chishui County to contact the Divine Sect Elders to dispatch disciples proficient in the Three-legged Body Technique to assist here.

Unfortunately, even the Divine Sect had few practitioners skilled in the Three-legged Body Technique.

Moreover, after reopening the sect, those practitioners had other tasks to handle, delegating the capture of Jiang Feng entirely to the Saintess and Liu Chen. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The duo had no choice but to keep guarding the entrance.

Liu Chen couldn’t stand it, eager to go inside and find out.

"Whoosh!"

The purple small sword he sent was rebounded by the restriction array.

He unleashed several magic spells, hurriedly reclaiming the purple small sword.

"Saintess."

Unable to break through the restriction array, he looked towards the Saintess, frustrated.

Only to find the Saintess had disappeared from the stone.

Ripples appeared on the restriction array at the exit, the Saintess had entered it.

"Take me in with you."

Liu Chen shouted.

Inside the mansion, everything was deathly silent; the Saintess ignored Liu Chen, unable to use the Three-legged Body Technique herself, entering would be difficult, bringing in a burden would be seeking death.

"I want to see if you’ve already died in there."

The Saintess muttered.

Having guarded for over four months, spending so much time on Jiang Feng, she couldn’t stand it anymore and finally couldn’t resist entering again.

She saw those two statues.

But unfortunately, they were too far away.

Coupled with layers of restriction arrays blocking, the Saintess could only see the shadows of the statues, unable to see Jiang Feng beneath.

Her spiritual sense spread out, reaching towards the statues.

Because of the restriction arrays’ obstruction, her brows furrowed deeply, clearly even spiritual sense struggled to traverse through layers of restriction arrays, needing certain power to continuously break through.

Gradually.

The restriction array ahead started to distort.

A terrifying aura surged forward.

"Not good."

The Saintess’s face changed dramatically.

She hurriedly retreated.

Rushing towards the exit.

Once she emerged, a sword aura followed her; she turned and slashed out with all her might, destroying the sword aura while her body was also flung back, her face reddened as she returned to the stone.

"Saintess, did you find him? Is he already dead?"

Liu Chen inquired.

"I couldn’t truly enter, don’t know his actual condition."

The Saintess shook her head.

"He must be dead; no one can stay inside for such a long time."

Liu Chen exclaimed nervously.

"How about I send you in, bring out his corpse."

The Saintess suggested.

"Disciple was wrong."

Liu Chen instantly lost his temper.

"When will we have results on his identity investigation?"

The Saintess questioned.

"I’ve had Li Yang reinvestigate this person; our Divine Sect disciples are also involved, once results come in, news will be sent here immediately."
