Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 182 - 102: Unexpected Big Surprise, Are the Feng Family’s Two Thousand Elite Strong? _2

Lin Xuankong’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Lin Jiao, pulling Lin Xuankong along, suddenly exclaimed as they passed Yan Yunfei’s wounded body, "Yan Yunfei is actually not dead yet! The life force of a Fifth Layer expert is truly formidable!"

「...」

「Moments later,」

In a private room on the second floor of a restaurant on Cow and Horse Street, Lin Xuankong looked at Yan Yunfei, who was recovering from his injuries.

Yan Yunfei and his sworn brother Guan Zhong cupped their hands together, and Yan Yunfei said, "If it weren’t for Steward Lin using the invaluable Marsh Python Gall, my sworn brother and I, with our injuries, would have lasted no more than a few dozen breaths before meeting our end!"

Lin Xuankong replied, "The sect just happened to allot me a drop. It was no effort at all, not worth mentioning!"

Next to him, Lin Jiao’s expression was peculiar.

But little did Lin Jiao know, Lin Xuankong even possessed the Marsh Python Demon Pearl that could heal injuries, so how could he possibly attach any importance to Marsh Python Gall!

Yan Yunfei sighed, "For Steward Lin, it’s a small effort, but for me, Yan, it is a life-saving grace. In the future, should Steward Lin require anything, my sworn brother and I will spare no effort!"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly and asked, "When you just fought Feng Zhushi, why could your Silver Sword Qi only travel tens of feet, while Feng Zhushi’s Sword Aura could attack two hundred feet? Aren’t you both in the early stage of the Fifth Layer?"

Recalling the battle, intense hatred filled Yan Yunfei’s eyes. This Seven Swords Sect Leader now deeply hated Feng Zhushi due to his ruthless tactics.

After a moment of silence, he began, "Steward Lin, even within the early stage of the Fifth Layer, there are differences. I only reached the early Fifth Layer two and a half years ago, so my Sword Aura’s range is at most fifty or sixty feet!"

Lin Jiao spoke up from the side, "Silver Jade Steward, our Yin Talisman Sect’s Thunder Technique is similar. Under normal circumstances, the Divine Thunder Illusion Technique relies on weapons, contact, or spreading through the ground to extend for around ten feet. But once one advances to the Fifth Layer, True Qi condensed thunder can strike out at least sixty feet, and its power increases by more than tenfold! As for why there’s such a distance difference even within the early Fifth Layer, that’s because Sect Leader Yan uses Exorcism Equipment, whereas Feng Zhushi uses a complete set of Azure Light Armor, making a huge difference in True Qi attack range!"

Lin Xuankong raised an eyebrow at this. "There’s such a distinction between Exorcism Equipment and Battle Armor?"

Yan Yunfei added, "Exorcism Equipment varies significantly based on the amount of Forehead Scale Profound Iron and the number of runes. Upon reaching the Fifth Layer, for Martial Cultivators with different Exorcism Equipment, the disparity in the combat power they can unleash will grow ever larger! My Silver Light Forehead Scale Sword is crafted with only three hundred Forehead Scales, hence it doesn’t improve the attack range much. For Exorcism Equipment with more than three hundred Forehead Scales, the more runes and Forehead Scales, the greater the enhancement to True Qi attack range! Feng Zhushi’s Azure Light Armor has Eight Hundred Forehead Scales and sixteen hundred runes, extending attack range by more than threefold!"

Lin Xuankong’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

With this thought, Lin Xuankong grew even more eager to obtain the Innate Spiritual Object and quickly advance to the Fifth Layer.

At this moment, Yan Yunfei’s eyes showed a trace of resentful unwillingness. "If I had a complete set of Exorcism Armor, how could Feng Zhushi have defeated me so easily? Alas, Exorcism Armor is extremely precious and rare, usually owned by major families and powerful factions. Even the top factions in Great Marsh Prefecture mostly have only three or four sets; where would others get a chance to obtain it!"

Lin Xuankong sighed, "Indeed, very precious!"

Hearing Lin Xuankong’s sigh, Lin Jiao, who was beside him, fell silent.

Afterwards, they chatted for a while before bidding farewell. Lin Xuankong and Lin Jiao headed downstairs.

Just as they exited the restaurant, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but pause, glancing up at the second floor of the restaurant as his Double Pupil suddenly appeared.

His Pine Crane Longevity Technique had long reached a high realm, and being in the late stage of the Fourth Layer, his hearing far surpassed that of ordinary Martial Cultivators. Even sounds inaudible to regular Fourth Layer cultivators were easily caught by him! Now, activating his Double Pupil, he effortlessly overheard the secret conversation upstairs!
